On behalf of Mark Perkins – Executive Vice President
Dear Aviator
In 2007 Aerosonic purchased the Op Tech display product line with the intention of completing any further development that may have been required to obtain FAA certification. Our business plan at that time reflected a market need for an affordable, highly capable alternative to existing display systems aimed at the general aviation market. In the years since that transaction much has happened both in our industry and within our company. Shortly after the transaction we suffered a devastating fire that destroyed a large part of our facility and impacted our ability to produce nearly every product that we supply to our many valued civil and military customers. After several years of hard work we have now recovered from that tragedy however much has changed.
The market for general aviation and business aircraft remains depressed and recovery still appears to be several years in the future. The Flight Display competitive landscape has grown from a few manufactures to many with new advanced technologies, improved capabilities and enhanced features.
For these reasons we have made a business decision to discontinue further development and certification efforts on the Op Tech Flight Display product. Our intention going forward is to focus on our core products. We are actively looking for a buyer for the Op Tech product line whose current business model would be enhanced by the addition of this product.
Support for current owners of these display systems is available through Aviation Instrument Technologies Inc (AITI).in Zephyrhills Fl. 39520 Aviation Ave., Zephyrhills, FL 33542. Phone: 813.783.3361 www.aircraftinstruments.com . AITI has inventory, test equipment and associated documentation to service these systems and has been trained to provide immediate support. In the future please direct any units that require repair to AITI. All products that are currently at our facility for repair or update will be completed by us and returned within the next 3 to 4 weeks. Should you have any questions please contact me at 727-461-3000 ext 133.
Sincerely,
