(TSX VENTURE: AMA) (the "Company" or "AMA") has received its first activation Supplemental Type Certificate ("STC") for the Automated Flight Information Reporting System ("AFIRS™") 228 on a CRJ-900 Series aircraft.

Since then, the Company received the provisions only STC and installed the AFIRS 228 on the customer's aircraft to conduct the necessary flight test.
"This activation STC is extremely important to AMA and its customer," said Jeff Brunner, VP of Operations at AMA. "The customer will now be able to use the AFIRS 228 functionality to receive data from the aircraft in flight as well as the full benefits of the system. The operator will be the first fully functional AFIRS 228 customer."
