Garmin offers a wide range of aviation products and services including Flight Decks, Avionics, Sport Aviation, Portable GPS, Subscriptions services and is primarily known for its innovative advances in GPS design, manufacturing and service.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980’s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

Garmin entered the aviation market in 1991 with the GPS-100AVD panel-mounted receiver. Their first portable unit, the GPS-95, was introduced in 1993. In 1994, the GPS-155 panel-mounted unit was the first GPS receiver on the market to receive full FAA certification for instrument approaches. In 1998 Garmin introduced the GNS-430, an integrated GPS navigation receiver/communications transceiver.

Garmin’s company mindset is that it doesn’t just design and sell products; they embrace lifestyles from aviation to marine, automotive to fitness, wireless solutions to outdoor recreation. Garmin employees are in the air, on the water, in the woods, behind the wheel and on the run and they’re always thinking of ways to adapt and improve. At Garmin, you never know how the next great idea will be born. But you know it’s coming soon.

Avidyne Corporation is the market-leading developer of Integrated Flight Deck Systems for light general aviation (GA) aircraft. Avidyne’s Entegra line revolutionized flying in 2003 as the first Integrated Flight Deck for light GA. Avidyne’s continuing leadership in innovation and its Flying Made Simple™ design philosophy make flying safer, more accessible and more enjoyable for pilots and their passengers

Avidyne provides highly reliable FAA-certified situational awareness displays and integrated flight deck systems for general aviation aircraft. Avidyne Corporation is the largest volume producer of Integrated Flight Decks in the market today, and was the first to bring the technology to light general aviation. Avidyne is at the forefront in datalink-enabled products for general aviation, and is the first company to offer integrated datalink-capable multi-function displays, as well as the first to offer multi-channel datalink communications for integrated flight decks.

Avidyne entered the aviation market in 1994 with the mission of modernizing GA avionics with technology that improved safety and increased aircraft utility and value. “As a pilot and aircraft owner, I was struck by how little GA cockpits had changed over the last thirty years,” said Dan Schwinn, Avidyne founder and pilot. “I saw huge potential to develop a core technology and define a new generation of avionics that improve flying safety.”

PS Engineering doesn’t make GPS’s, transponders, or even autopilots. Audio Control is their only mission. PS Engineering has been the source for virtually every major innovation in the field of aircraft audio avionics.

Today, according to the Aircraft Electronics Association’s Retrofit Survey, PS Engineering is the dominant supplier of audio control systems. Almost half of all audio control systems (intercoms and audio panels) purchased today comes from PS Engineering.

In 1985, Mark Scheuer, a graduate of the College of Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a pilot, founded PS Engineering. At the time, aircraft intercoms and audio panels had seen virtually no improvement in over a decade. With new digital circuitry and technologies, he believed it was time for the revolution to begin.

Aspen Avionics specializes in bringing the most advanced technology and capability from the commercial and business aviation markets into General Aviation cockpits—and budgets. Their products increase situational awareness and reduce pilot workload, making it even easier and safer to fly in both VFR and IFR conditions.

Aspen Avionics, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was founded by aviation enthusiasts in 2004. Aspen’s first product, certified in November 2005, is the AT300 Hazard Awareness Display, a combined terrain awareness display and vertical speed indicator.  It is designed to directly replace a mechanical vertical speed indicator, and is certified under TSO C8d (Vertical Speed Indicator) and TSO C113 (Multipurpose Electronic Display).

The company raised its first round of venture capital in December 2005, and closed a Series B round in June 2007, to facilitate its continue strong growth.

Aspen Avionic’s philosophy is that “getting the latest avionics technology shouldn’t always mean spending a lot of money—on equipment or on installation.”

L-3 Avionics Systems has been helping pilots fly for more than 45 years.

L-3 Communications Avionics Systems, Inc. was formerly known as Goodrich Avionics Systems Inc. The company was founded in 1962 and is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“When you consider our history — providing avionics for Bill Lear’s revolutionary Learjet aircraft to our most recent product innovations — you’ll see we have always been focused on continuous improvement and creativity. Our employees enjoy working on cutting-edge products that we believe will take the general aviation and business aircraft industries into a new era.”

S-Tec is an operating company under the Avionics and Surveillance division of Cobham. S-TEC is a United States corporation originally founded in 1978 and headquartered in Mineral Wells, Texas.

S-TEC is the leader in the general aviation autopilot  market for small- and mid-sized planes. They manufacture flight control systems for the General Aviation aftermarket as well as a number of original equipment manufacturers. All S-TEC autopilot systems use hardware, servos, and sensors common throughout the product line. This commonality gives the aircraft owner significant advantages in serviceability, reliability, and overall cost. It is also the foundation of the S-TEC upgrade/trade-in program that gives an autopilot buyer the option of buying a system today and upgrading it to a system with more features and functions later.

S-TEC is the industry leader in General Aviation autopilots. “We have become the leader because we work very hard responding to the needs of the aircraft owner.”

Pratt & Whitney, is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines, industrial gas turbines and space propulsion systems. The company’s 36,000 employees support more than 11,000 customers in 195 countries around the world.

During World War I, Captain Frederick Brant Rentschler was assigned to oversee production of aircraft engines for the U.S. Army. When Captain Rentschler left the Army in 1925, Pratt & Whitney – the company he founded in Hartford, Ct. – began its long history. He became convinced that future aircraft would require lighter-weight engines with much greater power and higher reliability. His proposed design of an air-cooled engine flew in the face of conventional wisdom, which held that heavier liquid-cooled engines would power the future of aviation. Pratt & Whitney’s first aircraft engine was the 410-horsepower, air­cooled Wasp, which delivered unprecedented performance and reliability for the time and transformed the aviation industry.

Pratt & Whitney has been leading change ever since. Pratt & Whitney builds engines for front line fighters, like the F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, as well as the C-17 Globemaster III military transport. Pratt & Whitney Canada has produced more than 60,000 engines which power corporate jets, regional aircraft and helicopters around the globe. Pratt & Whitney’s large commercial engines power more than 30 percent of the world’s passenger aircraft fleet. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne has been the power behind over 1,600 launches and has been a key engine provider to the U. S. space program since its inception.

Pratt & Whitney core values are what their company stands for and form the foundation of the company’s culture. They are enduring and unchanging and remind us that these beliefs are what matter most to them as employees; a sense of pride and satisfaction in what we do everyday. No matter where they work and live around the world, the Pratt & Whitney core values are shared by everyone across all levels of the organization.

AmSafe is the world leader in safety and securement equipment for the aerospace, defense, and ground transportation industries. They are at the forefront of restraint technology by offering unique solutions; such as the aviation airbag which is being used on both commercial and general aviation aircraft worldwide.

In 1955, one of the predecessors to AmSafe, Cummings & Sanders, was granted the metal-to-metal buckle patent. The seatbelt industry was born. Although not required, more than 80 percent of general aviation aircraft are equipped with the AAIR system to protect occupants from impact with glare shields, instrument panels and control yokes, and meet the 26g requirement for pilot and co-pilot seats. In fact, AmSafe restraints are not only preferred, but standard equipment for Aviat, the new single engine Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (formally Raytheon Aircraft), Cirrus Design, Diamond, Mooney, Maule, Bell Helicopter Textron, Robinson Helicopter, and Schweizer aircraft.

AmSafe developed the first aviation airbag restraint system, which took its first flight in 2001, and is now flying on more than 25 commercial airlines and on over eighty-percent of the world’s general aviation aircraft. Designed to protect occupants from impact with glare shields, instrument panels, and control yokes, the AmSafe Seatbelt Airbag looks and operates like a standard seatbelt. The airbag is stored in the lap belt portion of the 2- and 3-point restraints and in the torso section of the 4- and 5-point systems.

AmSafe will continue to bring innovative technology to our customers. They have numerous patents under their belt and have become a world leader in the design, manufacture and support of a wide range of textile products for the civil aviation and defense markets.
