CIES Corporation receives FAA TSO
approval for new digital fuel level senders
October 10, 2012, CIES Corporation of Redmond, Oregon has received
FAA TSO C55a approval for its line of digital fuel level senders. The float
based fuel level senders are designed to replace the majority of the existing
fuel level sending systems in general aviation aircraft. The proprietary and
patented system provides a new level of accuracy, reliability, and stability to
fuel level indication in the cockpit. CIES meets a TSO standard of 2% variance
in tank volume, a standard normally reserved for corporate and commercial
aircraft with corrected capacitive solutions. No other float based system meets
this stringent TSO standard while achieving the intrinsically safe (i.e. “no
wires in the tank”) requirement.
Richard Kirkness, Vice President of
CIES said, "As a manufacturer of aircraft systems, we see FAA certification
as critical to our success and the foundation for everything we do. FAA
approval is the result of months of hard work on the part of our team here in Redmond
and could not have come at a better time for CIES as the company continues to
grow and strives to achieve the goal of becoming a world class supplier of advanced
systems and technologies.”
Charlie Babb, General Manager of
CIES added, “After the successful introduction at the beginning of this year of
our senders on all new Cirrus production aircraft, we began working with other manufacturers
and owners groups to provide specific fuel level sending solutions for
production and legacy aircraft. The next logical step was to acquire FAA certification
to validate our quality control system and lean manufacturing processes while
making aircraft integration and approval significantly easier to obtain.”
The CIES fuel level senders
require a dedicated digital fuel level display to ensure that the 2% accuracy achieved
in the fuel tank is provided in the cockpit as well. As a
result, CIES partnered with Aerospace Logic in Hamilton, Ontario to utilize
their digital fuel level cockpit display. Aerospace Logic updated their fuel
level gauging system to accept the digital communication link from the CIES
digital senders.
CIES Corporation of Redmond,
Oregon USA provides a range of high-technology products and support services to
aviation, aerospace, and the broader transportation marketplaces.
