EAST AURORA, N.Y., May 20, 2013 — Astronics Corporation bestowed Elliott Aviation with the Max-Viz Sales Excellence Award. Astronics Corporation (NASDAQ: ATRO) is a leader in advanced, high-performance lighting, electrical power, avionics and automated test systems for the global aerospace and defense industries.
The Astronics Max-Viz Sales Excellence Award was given to Elliott Aviation for outstanding sales performance in the sales and installation of the Astronics Max-Viz Enhanced Vision System. To win the award, Elliott Aviation outsold all other dealers and installers of the Astronics Max-Viz EVS-1500 safety system in the past year. Elliott Aviation was also the first installation facility to interface the Astronics Max-Viz EVS-1500 with the Garmin G1000 avionics display system.
Astronics Executive Vice President Elliott Troutman said, "The sales performance by Elliott Aviation clearly demonstrates its belief in the Max-Viz EVS-1500 safety system. Elliott Aviation, a family-owned aviation business that has an outstanding reputation for customer focus and boosting aviation safety, shares our vision regarding aviation safety and it is truly deserving of this recognition.”
Astronics’ Max-Viz sensors allow pilots to see farther through low-visibility conditions such as mist, rain and night skies, providing pilots with a real-time, unobstructed and realistic view of the terrain. The Max-Viz enhanced vision advances pilot situational awareness to levels never before realized in a single-engine piston aircraft and is particularly helpful to pilots flying into challenging airports and challenging visibility conditions.
