Vista, CA, (April 25, 2006) -- Sandel Avionics has been chosen by the Aircraft Electronics Association as its Associate Member of the Year at that organization's 2006 annual convention in Palm Springs, CA. The Associate Member of the Year award is given in recognition of outstanding efforts by a manufacturing or distribution company, as voted by the AEA's membership of some 1,300 aviation businesses. AEA officials noted that Sandel has been cited frequently by its dealers for superior service and support.

A leading innovator in aircraft display systems, Sandel manufactures, markets and distributes advanced safety and navigation systems for business, air transport and general aviation aircraft. Among its products are a compact terrain warning system that helps prevent aircraft accidents, along with a revolutionary new line of 4-in. modular flight displays that use a patented LED (light-emitting diode) projection technology.

"We are quite honored to be singled out for this recognition, especially because it reflects the opinion of the industry's dealers and installation centers," said Gerry Block, Sandel's President. "It's really a tribute to our sales and support team, and I pledge to the industry that we'll keep on doing what we're doing, to develop and support innovative products that make flying safer and more enjoyable."

Sandel Avionics, headquartered in Vista, California, and with offices in Charlotte, NC, and Overland Park, KS, is a privately held company that provides compact integrated display systems for general aviation, business aviation, air transport and regional aircraft. Enjoying significant success with its compact, ST3400 TAWS solution, the company has also developed a series of innovative new display applications the feature bright, durable LED technology.
