• We do not have FAA approval for the Plasma CDI. In order to install the ignition system on your certified aircraft, you will need to get a field approval or a STC. Several have been applied for. News regarding a field approval will be published here. On December 10th 2007, Helicopteres Guimbal received a Supplemental Type Certificate from EASA* for the Light Speed Engineering Plasma CDI as standard equipment on their new Helicopter, the Cabri G2. Reciprocal agreements between the FAA and EASA can facilitate further applications on certified aircraft in the future. * The European Aviation Safety Agency is the European equivalent of the FAA.
