READING, PA— November 10, 2003:
Avantext, Inc., the leading worldwide publishers of value-added electronic data for the aviation industry, today proudly announced the availability of its Cessna TechPubs Complete Library. With this release, maintenance and technical publications for all current single and twin engine production as well as legacy Cessna aircraft become available in electronic format. "The Cessna Complete Library represents a superior return on investment to anyone that has ever had to contend with the hassle of using microfiche and paper" said Michael Limar, Avantext's Vice President of Sales. He continues, "The 21st century mechanic certainly deserves 21st century tools ".

The Cessna Complete Library from Avantext has been released on select Cessna products in two formats: Standard and Enhanced. The Enhanced version provides the same functionality customers have come to expect from Avantext, but with the added benefit of providing fully hyperlinked documentation that allows for the fastest and easiest navigation available on the market today. The Cessna Enhanced offerings provide in excess of ten times the number of hyperlinks available for a nominal additional spend.

The TechPubs from Avantext are mastered to allow the user to view original documentation just as the manufacturer intended it to be. Aviation maintenance professionals currently view paper document from the shelf, or open up a microfiche reader and spend countless hours searching for information. Avantext TechPubs completely eliminates the need for filing or viewing scratched microfiche pages, looking through torn or tattered pages in a book, or ever having to attempt to find the latest revision that may have been misplaced or misfiled. By maintaining originality to the manufacturers documents, Avantext is the only technical publisher that does not compress, change, alter, re-type, or re-create any of the original publications. The end user can rest assured they are getting the actual document created by the manufacturer.

Avantext's user-friendly software allows for easy navigation, viewing, and printing of all of the information contained on the CD/DVD. Zooming allows you to locate difficult to read text and see the extra detail when viewing an image. You can perform searches for specific words, phrases, or part numbers across any or all the manuals of a CD in seconds; a significant timesavings if you are unsure where to locate something.
Most importantly, Avantext's TechPubs offer a consistent interface throughout all of the manufacturers they represent. You just know where a document is located regardless of whether you're viewing a Cessna publication or a Bell Helicopter publication.

Avantext provides the aviation industry with value-added electronic technical documentation for four of the top seven aircraft manufacturers in the world, including Cessna, Piper, Mooney, Maule, Bell Helicopter, MD Helicopter, and Textron Lycoming Engines.
