Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are an important partner for FLYHT™ because AFIRS™ can be installed on aircraft as they are manufactured. This avoids unnecessary downtime and the purchaser of the aircraft will benefit from AFIRS capabilities immediately upon delivery. Aircraft manufacturers are increasingly seeing OEM installation of FLYHT equipment as a significant selling point (see Beechcraft announcement below)
