ABC Completions STCs Tablet Mount for iPads

With an assist on the avionics interface from DAC International of Austin, Texas, ABC Completions, a Montreal-based business aircraft engineering services company, has received a supplemental type certificate (STC) for converting an existing EFB mount into an iPad tablet mount. The STC allows the iPad or iPad Air’s use as a Class 2 electronic flight bag. The mount incorporates two DAC GDC-64 tablet interface units, which supply electrical power for recharging the tablet’s battery, and interface with the aircraft’s FMS and feed data to the tablet. The conversion will allow flight crews to enjoy the benefits of a Class 2 EFB for a competitive price, said ABC Completions president Gary Nash.
