FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, December 11, 2012, Aurora, Oregon – Dewey Conroy, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Pacific Coast Avionics has announced the completion of their latest RV-10 custom panel. This particular panel is for an Australian customer and marks the thirteenth time that Pacific Coast Avionics has completed a panel for an international customer.
Commenting on the project, Dewey Conroy said, “This was a unique project in that the aircraft builder has not yet started construction on his aircraft. Our completed panel will be delivered to the Vans factory to be included in the shipment of the aircraft kit to Australia. The panel specifications were determined in a meeting with the aircraft builder while he was at the Vans factory and fabrication was begun immediately in order to meet the shipment schedule.”

We were pleased by the level of confidence placed in our capabilities by Vans, Flight Systems, and the aircraft builder.”
