$ 500 extra gets you air data. Pretty good deal it seems.
Do you know if the Aspen E5 software update (addition HSI & air data) requires a new easa STC or is the previous one still valid ?

It won’t require a new STC but the current one may need amending to a higher revision level. Just like physical aircraft modifications, software changes also have Major and Minor classifications depending on what’s been changed. Significant changes to functionality can drive the change to Major which would then require the STC approval to be updated.
Thank you for that. And who’s initiative would that be ? Is it Aspen that asks for an amendement ? Assuming they are the STC holder…
