Is iPRESS™ certified for use on aircraft?

iPRESS™ holds Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

STC certification ensures that iPRESS™ meets stringent safety and performance standards set by aviation authorities, allowing legal installation and operation on certified aircraft.

All users must register their iPRESS™ system on our dedicated online portal. Upon registration, you will receive all necessary documentation, including the Letter of Authorization (LOA) and other regulatory paperwork required for installation and operation.

Which aircraft are currently covered by iPRESS™ certification?

iPRESS™ is currently certified for Cessna Mustang and select Citation Jet models. Certification is expanding to cover most Citation Jet and King Air aircraft in 2026.

As we expand to additional aircraft types, we will pursue the necessary STC certifications to ensure compliance and safety.

Does iPRESS™ require maintenance or calibration?

No, the system is maintenance-free and does not require calibration, ensuring hassle-free operation.

iPRESS™ is battery powered, with batteries designed to operate a minimum of two years before requiring replacement, ensuring reliable operation throughout.

Do I need special equipment to read the tire pressure?

No special equipment is needed. You simply use the Textron Aviation Service app on your smartphone or tablet (compatible with iOS) to view tire pressure data.
