TORONTO, Jan. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX:FTG), a leading provider of electronic products and avionic sub-systems for the aerospace and defense markets, has received its Canadian Technical Standard Order (CAN-TSO) certification from TRANSPORT CANADA for FTG’s Cursor Control Device (CCD). The CAN-TSO certification can be used for receiving FAA-TSO certification under the bilateral agreement between Canada and the United States. With this design and production approval, production of the CCD can commence.
FTG’s CCD is an innovative, customizable, joystick-based design that is an integral part of the Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) in modern avionics. CCD’s are utilized by pilots for precision cursor navigation on the aircrafts primary flight displays.
