CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov. 7, 2013) - FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. ("FLYHT") (TSX VENTURE:FLY) reported today that it has received an activation Supplemental Type Certificate ("STC") for its Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRS™") 228 on the Boeing 737 - 700/800 series aircraft from Transport Canada.
The Boeing 737 is the most popular airframe globally and with a service life in excess of 30 years is a mainstay of the global aviation industry. FLYHT is pleased to add the AFIRS 228 STC for this popular aircraft type to the options available to our customers.
An STC constitutes regulatory approval to modify an aircraft's design while retaining airworthiness certification and is necessary to permit retrofit installation of aeronautical products such as AFIRS.

AFIRS 228 is FLYHT's next-generation flagship product.

It also provides the input and outputs necessary to enhance the value of real-time data for FLYHT's customers globally.
