Austin, Texas - May 18, 2009 - DAC International Inc. announced today that Shuttle America, a Republic Airways Company, has selected DAC’s GEN-X Class 3 EFB for its fleet of EMB170 and EMB175 aircraft.

GEN-X is a PMA’d Class 3 EFB, however it’s offered in the price range previously found only in Class 2 products. It is designed for simple cost effective retrofit and forward fit requirements. Installations can be accomplished under the operator’s choice of either a Class 2 or Class 3 STC.

“DAC’s GEN-X EFB and GENESYS software provides Shuttle America an affordable turn-key solution. GEN-X gives us a solid PMA’d platform that meets both our current and future growth requirements,” said Scott Delacy, Shuttle America, Director of Operations.

“We are proud to team with Shuttle America on their transition to a paperless cockpit. Shuttle America’s leading edge use of new technologies & efficiencies and their hard working team of professionals has made for an exciting program,” said Mike Crouch, President of DAC International.

GEN-X effectively bridges the gap between Class 2 and Class 3 EFB’s to bring professional operators a cost-effective retrofit solution that supports the users’ WindowsÒ based applications along with a full suite of EFB applications.

“Airlines benefit from a more clear path to operational approval with a PMA’d Class 3 device. The Class 3 PMA’d solution relieves much of the burden otherwise placed on airlines and their Principal Inspectors for non PMA devices carrying no certifications,” said Jeff Ariens, Director Marketing EFB & Electronic Charting.

GEN-X features an almost total touchscreen design with the only hard buttons being display-on/off and brightness. The full touch control allows complete user flexibility in 3^rd party software, as well as an extremely intuitive operation that keeps down or eliminates training cost.

GEN-X has a host of connectivity options including 802.11G, USB, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA, Iridium, ACARS, Ethernet and expanded ARINC 429 for automatic chart selection & moving map.

DAC calls the Application Manager and EFB software suite GENESYS. GENESYS supports digital chart data from Maptech, Jeppesen or Lido. A full suite of software modules include applications to support easy viewing, handling and updating of publications as well as weather, performance, checklist, cameras, flight papers, third-party applications and more.

GENESYS also provides operators the back-office server side software for complete centralized control and automatic update of all charts, publications, software and data.
