Helimo,

Further to Eivissa's post, the STC is a US FAA approval. To use it in Europe you need an EASA equivalent. Except the EASA equivalent usually takes 5 times longer to get and costs way more. The price of over-bureaucratic regulation.....

Given that the manufacturer is likely to sell 10 times more of anything in the aviation land of the free, guess why they start there?
