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.
