CALGARY, Jan. 31 /CNW/ - Europe's aviation authority issued its stamp of
approval for installation of AeroMechanical Services Ltd.'s (AMA) breakthrough
technology on several series of the popular commuter aircraft, the
Bombardier DHC - 8 (Dash 8).
The Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) issued by the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) covers installation of AMA's Aircraft Flight Information
Reporting System (afirs(TM)) on the Dash 8 turboprop Series 100, 200 and 300.

European regional airline and unscheduled carrier segment. This is the third
STC received from EASA.
