AUSTIN, Texas, May 6, 2013 – DAC International, a Greenwich AeroGroup company, announced today that the Federal Aviation Administration has granted Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) for the company’s GDC64 Tablet Aircraft Interface Unit (TAIU).

The Tablet Aircraft Interface Unit is applicable on corporate, regional and major airlines and rotorcraft.

In addition to the PMA approval, Apple^® has certified the GDC64 hardware and the GDC64 iOS app, which is making its debut on the iTunes store.
