CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire -05/22/12)- FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (FLY.V) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") has signed an agreement with L-3 Aviation Recorders ("L-3 AR") to sell, certify, produce and support FLYHT's real-time data communications and SatCom solution to L-3 AR customers. FLYHT and L-3 AR will provide FLYHT's Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRS") 228S to L-3 AR customers for installation on new aircraft. This solution offers customers the ability to provide voice and data communications anywhere in the world through the Iridium network. The AFIRS 228S will be provided under FLYHT's global Value Added Reseller agreement with Iridium.

These solutions are currently marketed under the FLYHT brand in conjunction with L-3's industry-leading line of Flight Data Recorders ("FDRs"), commonly referred to as "black boxes" on aircraft.

"We are delighted that our effort in teaming with the world leader in data recording is bearing fruit," remarked Bill Tempany, President and CEO of FLYHT. "We're proud that the industry has recognized L-3 and FLYHT for our technologies and cutting-edge solutions for seamless information delivery - from air vehicle to end user. As a team, we will offer end users and original equipment manufacturers one-stop shopping for their data recording and information delivery requirements."

"L-3 is extremely pleased to offer to its extensive worldwide airline and OEM customer base a solution for this emerging requirement with a strong partner like FLYHT," said Mike Smith, President of L-3 Aviation Recorders. "In conjunction with an on-board L-3 flight recorder, FLYHT has already demonstrated FDR data and aircraft position streaming on in-service aircraft. Additional functionality such as ACARS and data loading for EFB and other systems using Iridium communications services makes this a very practical solution for all customers."
