Howell Instruments, Blackhawk Modifications Announce Partnership

Fort Worth, TX, October 23, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Howell Instruments, Inc. is proud to announce its partnership with Blackhawk Modifications on an innovative new line of indicators for the Cessna Caravan.

The H9900 Series Indicators feature an innovative modular design, enabling multiple applications with a few application-specific dial face and software configuration changes. Hardware consistency in design creates an entirely new functionality with nominal redesign and recertification, maximizing adaptability, flexibility and expandability. Blackhawk Modifications developed the indicators with Howell for use on the Cessna Caravan initially, and plans to expand to other applications.

Bill Milton, Howell’s Commercial Business Develop Manager, comments, “This strategic alliance with Blackhawk Modifications combines our engine expertise with an MRO industry leader. It’s a win-win opportunity to collaborate with Blackhawk Modifications to grow our product line and enhance our customer support.
