Advent Receives EASA Nod on eABS Braking System and adds Hampton Aviation as Dealer
Oklahoma-based Advent Aircraft Systems has received EASA certification for its eABS anti-skid braking system for the Pilatus PC-12/PC-12NG and the Beechcraft King Air B300. The Tulsa manufacturer has also launched certification processes for the system on the same aircraft with Transport Canada and Australia’s CAA.
Advent was expecting to add FAA, EASA and TC certification for the King Air B200 by the end of June, and it has already received its first European order for the braking system from a Norwegian customer for a B250.
Advent also added King Air maintenance expert Hampton Aviation to its network of authorized dealers and installers. Hampton specializes in heavy structural repair, inspections and modifications for all King Air models.

ForeFlight Introduces Next-Gen Performance Flight Planning
ForeFlight, the creator of the most widely used flight planning and electronic flight bag app for Apple iPad and iPhone, announced the launch of its next-generation flight planning features, which provide fast and accurate time, fuel, route, and altitude computations for high- performance pistons, turboprops, and jets. The market- leading features are part of the new Performance Plus and Business Performance subscription plans available for purchase on ForeFlight.com.
At the core of ForeFlight’s new performance planning capabilities is a sophisticated global routing and flight optimization engine powered by ForeFlight’s AviationCloud technology, an extensive library of aircraft with detailed performance profiles sourced and verified by the ForeFlight aircraft performance team, and enhanced map and form-based flight planning user interfaces.
ForeFlight’s in-house performance team built the aircraft performance profiles from the manufacturer’s climb, cruise, and descent performance data. The performance models are defined for multiple altitudes, weights, and temperatures, allowing the planning engine to produce highly accurate speed and fuel flow data for all conditions. ForeFlight’s library includes hundreds of profiles for popular piston and turbine aircraft from Beechcraft, Bombardier, Cessna, Cirrus, Daher-Socata, Dassault, Eclipse, Embraer, Hawker, Gulfstream, Pilatus, Piper, and more.
