Highly Regarded Aviation Veteran Joins Sandel Sales Team

Vista, CA, (October 16, 2006) -- Sandel Avionics (NBAA Booth 4414) is pleased to announce that it will be represented in the Latin American region by long-time aviation sales and marketing specialist Jay Faría, president of the Ft. Lauderdale, FL-based international representation firm Airtrade. With his extensive network of contacts throughout Latin America, supplemented by his company's sales offices in Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Argentina, Jay brings an unprecedented degree of regional knowledge to Sandel, and will be responsible for sales of the company's new 4/5-ATI SN4500 EHSI as well as its popular ST3400 TAWS/RMI and 3-ATI SN3500 EHSI.

Featuring an LED-backlighted display, the new SN4500 EHSI offers significant advantages over electromechanical and older EFIS displays, and its 200-pixel-per-inch display-double the standard for 'glass cockpits'-10,000+-hour reliability, easy-install I/O module, full range of NAV and safety sensor inputs, and incredible affordability make it ideal for international retrofit applications.

"We're excited to have someone as capable, knowledgeable and personable as Jay on our team," said Sandel CEO Gerry Block. "We recognize that Latin America is becoming a vital and important region for aviation growth, and we're committed to further developing Sandel's presence there in the proper way."

Noted Mr. Faría, "With its innovative, yet affordable, products, and commitment to making aviation safer and better, I think Sandel is the ideal company to work with. I've been in aviation for more than 20 years, and I find Sandel's systems to be a breath of fresh air in avionics technology."

A native Brazilian who speaks Portuguese, Spanish and French in addition to English, Mr. Faría is looking forward to enhancing Sandel's presence throughout the region.
