ustomers traded in their old Cirrus for low-time, late-model Cirrus aircraft with Entegra Release 9 to get “Best Aircraft, Best Engine, Best Avionics, and Best Value.”

Lincoln, MA, August 26, 2009–– Avidyne Corporation, a leading provider of integrated flight deck and safety systems for general aviation aircraft announced today that Leading Edge Aviation Services of Tampa, and Lone Mountain Aviation of North Las Vegas, have each delivered their first “G3-R9” aircraft.  “G3-R9” is a program launched by Avidyne and its key dealers that provides late-model Cirrus SR22 aircraft for sale with Avidyne’s new Entegra Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (IFD) system already retrofitted.”

“With G3-R9, customers looking to upgrade their high-time Cirrus aircraft now have the option of purchasing a very low-time, late-model Cirrus from these key Cirrus sales and maintenance centers that also have Entegra Release 9 retrofit expertise,” said Rob Higby, Vice President  of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Service for Avidyne.  “Both of these customers appreciated the value proposition provided by the G3-R9 program and are now flying the “Best Aircraft, Best Engine, Best Avionics, and Best Value.”

“Since I first saw it, I was a big believer in the Entegra Release 9 system, and I initially considered upgrading my 2003 Cirrus, which I have flown for the past five years,” said G3-R9 customer Robert Miller. “With used aircraft prices being what they are and the current tax advantages associated with making the purchase, I saw this as a great opportunity to move up to a G3 Cirrus with the new wing, air conditioning, improved performance, and very low time engine, and the guys at Lone Mountain found me a great airplane and did the retrofit of Release 9 before I took delivery.”

“The G3-R9 program was a great option for me and I couldn’t be happier,” said G3-R9 customer T.J. Shembekar. “Leading Edge found me a low-time G3 Cirrus aircraft and with the addition of Entegra Release 9, I now have an aircraft that is much more capable at a price that was easily a hundred thousand less than buying new.”

Entegra Release 9 is currently certified as a retrofit upgrade for existing Entegra-equipped Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft. Avidyne has developed a full schedule of “Entegra Release 9 Across America” Fly-Ins and Demonstration Seminars that are currently underway so that interested parties can experience the system in a city near them.
