READING, Pennsylvania, September 8, 2003:
Avantext, Inc., one of the leading worldwide publishers of value-added electronic data for the aviation industry, today announced the availability of its Cessna Complete Single Engine Library TechPubs DVD. With this release, maintenance and technical publications for Cessna models F120, 140, 150, 170A/B, 172, 175,177,180, 182,185, 188, 205, 206, 207, & 210 series aircraft become available in electronic format. The Twin Engine Library will be available before year's end in the Standard Avantext format. "The complete Single Engine Library coupled with the soon to be released Twin Library product will provide benefit to anyone who performs maintenance on Cessna Prop aircraft" said Kurt Schoenkopf, Avantext's President. He continues, "The value that TechPubs offer to maintenance facilities is immeasurable in terms of time and cost savings".

The Cessna Complete Single Engine TechPubs 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.
