Firstly, I worry about a place that can't even spell Agusta!

This place, like most, can repair any mechanical gauges made by RK, but their are no EFIS units on the capability listing.

A search for EFIS repair stations for the 160E015 RK EFIS units, comes back with one and only one possibility. Rogerson Kratos themselves.

To be able to develop their own repairs, a repair station would need to reverse engineer their way into the unit to get be able to see how it works and how the software is written, then develop their own software for testing it on the bench and then get all that certified.

After all that, RK still won't recognise your repairs, even if they are FAA certified, so if that unit EVER went back to RK, they would either bin it, or charge for a complete overhaul and test of the unit.
