C&L Aviation Group Receives EASA and UK STC Certification for Embraer 135/145 Universal FMS Upgrade

C&L is the largest ERJ 135/145 upgrade and modification service center in the world.

BANGOR, Maine – C&L Aviation Services, a C&L Aviation Group company, has received both UK and EASA STC certification for its upgrade of the Universal UNS-1K (SCN600 or SCN800) Series Flight Management System (FMS) to the UNS-1LW (SCN1000-Series) WAAS enabled unit for the Embraer 135/145 aircraft.

“We’re pleased to follow up our FAA STC certification earlier this year with EASA and UK approval. Having a viable option for European operators to upgrade their FMS systems is critical as these systems continue to evolve,” said Charlie Carroll, Avionics Sales Manager for C&L Aviation Services. “Having our own in-house engineering group allows us to dedicate resources to STC projects like this one that meets customer’s needs.”

C&L has been modifying and upgrading the interiors and systems on ERJs for several years and specializes in converting these aircraft into business-class and luxury jets. C&L also provides on-site engineering, avionics support, aircraft exterior painting, and heavy maintenance services. The company also carries one of the world’s largest inventories of ERJ parts in its warehouse, which helps to reduce maintenance times associated with these types of projects. Currently, the company is developing several other ERJ upgrades including a new 1st-class seat design.

C&L Aviation Group is an FAA and EASA approved industry leader in servicing, maintaining, and supporting operators in the corporate and regional aviation industry. In addition to aircraft and engine sales and leasing programs, C&L offers parts support, heavy maintenance, interior refurbishment, aircraft teardown, disassembly services, and aircraft management.
