AFIRS Edge Now Available for Aircraft Installation

Calgary, Alberta – April 11, 2023 – FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSX-V: FLY) (OTCQX: FLYLF) (the “Company” or “FLYHT”) announced today that its AFIRS Edge 5G-enabled wireless quick access recorder (WQAR) has received DO-160 certification, which is the standard for the environmental testing of avionics hardware. With this certification in hand, the AFIRS Edge is ready for installation on commercial aircraft and FLYHT is currently in the process of obtaining Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for the product on multiple aircraft platforms.

Kent Jacobs, President and Interim CEO of FLYHT, stated, “Receiving DO-160 certification is the culmination of a lot of hard work and development over the past year, and we are thrilled to be able to provide this revolutionary technology to the industry. The AFIRS Edge brings state of the art secure cloud and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technology on to the aircraft in a light weight, powerful avionics product that can be quickly installed, providing airlines, military aircraft and business jet operators capabilities that will help improve their operational efficiency.”

The AFIRS Edge is an enhanced Aircraft Interface Device (eAID), connecting aircraft data with EFB applications, providing airlines with enhanced Wireless Quick Access (eWQAR) capabilities, all while serving as an application server and gateway on the aircraft for critical real-time analytics, onboard data storage and least cost routing off the aircraft. The Edge also serves as an operational network node on the aircraft enabling Actionable Intelligence services such as fuel management, aircraft health monitoring, real-time engine data reporting and aircraft turnaround performance monitoring. Furthermore, when coupled with the Iridium Certus service, the Edge enables FLYHT’s weather data customers to work with airlines to implement weather data Aircraft Based Observations (ABO) reporting, uniquely including water vapor humidity data that powers enhanced weather forecasting capabilities in support of IATA and WMO initiatives.
