The new Evolution E5 flight instrument from Aspen Avionics is an ingenious answer to lower-cost displays from Garmin and Dynon aimed at the thousands of light general aviation airplanes that could benefit from a switch from traditional vacuum-driven six-pack flight instruments to modern glass.
Aspen Avionics’ Ingenius Evolution E5
Key Takeaways:
- The Aspen Avionics Evolution E5 is a new, lower-cost flight instrument designed to replace traditional vacuum-driven "six-pack" instruments with modern glass displays in light general aviation airplanes.
- Retailing for just under $5,000, the E5 consolidates the attitude indicator, directional gyro, and course-deviation indicator into a single unit, also including GPSS, an air-data computer, ADAHRS, and a backup battery.
- While not FAA TSO-approved to keep costs down, the E5 features a brighter display, a form factor that minimizes installation costs, and can be installed in hundreds of Part 23 aircraft types via an AML STC.
