(Londonderry, NH) On July 21, 2017, Pro Star Aviation, with support from its in-house Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) delegation, and in partnership with Honeywell Aerospace, obtained approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for a multiple-use Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST00383BO – Installation of a Honeywell DLMU-W (Wireless Data LAN Management Unit) in support of Honeywell Primus EPIC(TM) avionics systems.ST00383BO provides operators with a backwards compatible drop-in replacement solution for existing Data Management Unit (DMU) 2 and 3’s and Data LAN Management Units (DLMU), with the wireless Data Loader version; DLMU-W. The new DLMU-W’s primarily act as a data source for data loading operations of Primus EPIC(TM) avionics systems, and additionally serve as a source or destination for stored data, such as navigational chart files.Key benefits of the DLMU-W include; connectivity through a tablet device via Honeywell mobile applications; database loading via MyHDM or IDM; maintenance downloading via MyMaintainer. These methods of connection make the updating and monitoring of airplane conditions more readily accessible and simpler to interface with while expediting the day-to-day functions of the crew.According to Pro Star Aviation’s Director of Business Development, Jeffrey Shaw, “One of the greatest advantages the DLMU-W interface provides, is the ability for operators to utilize Honeywell’s “MyMaintainer” app to download and analyze maintenance messages as well as manage aircraft databases. The MyMaintainer app provides a great level of convenience and valuable time-saving benefits during day-to-day operations.”For additional information on this STC, to purchase this STC, or to schedule an installation please call Pro Star’s Sales Department at (603) 627-7827.For more information on Honeywell’s DLMU-W unit, visit https://aerospace.honeywell.comABOUT PRO STAR AVIATIONPro Star Aviation specializes in business and corporate aircraft installations, maintenance and modifications.
