AvFab Receives EASA Approval for King Air 200 Pleated Window Shades
Aviation Fabricators (AvFab) has received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Certification #10061033 for the installation of its pleated window shades for King Air 200, B200 and B200GT series aircraft. The AvFab pleated window shades provide King Air owners/ operators with a contemporary look. The shades replace the factory-installed polarizers and help keep the aircraft’s interior remarkably cooler on the ramp as the shades can be closed when the aircraft is parked, unlike the polarizers.
AvFab’s pleated window shades are available in several colors. The flame-retardant shades are produced using a
low/no emission process. The shades have an antibacterial coating and provide excellent sun protection with as low as four percent light transmission, and heat reflection up to 75 percent which results in less sun damage to the aircraft’s interior. They have insulating properties with a reduction of heat loss of 20 percent. They contain no toxic content and won’t produce toxic smoke or gases during the event of a fire.
Contact AvFab at (660) 885-8317 or visit www.AvFab. com for more information.

Pilots N Paws® is an online meeting place for pilots and
other volunteers
who help to transport rescue animals by air. The mission of the site is to provide a user- friendly communication venue between those that rescue, shelter, and foster animals; and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these animals.
A general aviation transport
requires just one pilot volunteer
and is far more efficient and dependable than time-consuming ground transportation for these animals who are often in danger of euthanization. Volunteer pilots retain complete authority of their planning and flights, and can give as much or as little time as they like.
