Tom Gray, Aspen’s avionics systems certification engineer, noted that the most exciting prospect about Connected Panel is what hasn’t even been thought of yet. The ability to connect with the ship’s certified systems via a remote device opens up all sorts of possibilities. ForeFlight is just one of numerous companies that has signed on with Aspen to build various new capabilities. Among the others are Hilton Software and Jeppesen with their EFBs, Sporty’s Pilot Shop, PS Engineering for managing audio systems, JP Instruments for the future ability to monitor and store engine performance data, and even the AOPA FlyQ flight planning app can share data through Connected Panel. For a complete list of company partners, see the website (www.connectedpanel. com/partners). Aspen builds the Connected Gateway box in Albuquerque. The system sells for $2,499 and is now shipping. Aspen charges no licensing or royalty fees for access to its API that developers can use to create new capabilities. —Thomas B. Haines
