CALGARY, Jan. 31 - 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.

The afirs technology includes global reporting, global text messaging and global voice communications. It is the opinion of AMA's management that this STC further strengthens AMA's ability to provide its patented solution to the European regional airline and unscheduled carrier segment. This is the third STC received from EASA.

With the addition of this STC, AMA now has the following aviation authority approvals:

    
    Boeing 737 - 200/300/400/500/600/700/800 Transport Canada, FAA, and China
