Rob Hickman, of Advanced Flight Systems, was proudly showing off the new software for their EFIS systems as well as their new 12″ screen.

Look on AFS’s website for more details on the new software. And in keeping with AFS tradition and builder expectations, the upgrade will be free and user installable.
