Aviation Safety Resources, based in Glen Head, NY, is a pioneer in life-saving emergency-landing systems for small aircraft. The patent-holding, family-owned company was founded in 2000 by Dario P. Manfredi to fast-track the commercialization of recovery systems for General Aviation aircraft. Manfredi’s passion for aviation was inspired by his father, Dario J. Manfredi, who first developed the concept for a groundbreaking safe-landing system in 1947.

The company’s intellectual property includes a body of granted, provisional and pending permanent patents with the potential to make sizeable inroads in the $150 billion General Aviation market. The ASR Innovation Team consists of a blue-ribbon panel of aviation experts and its patented inventions promise to define a new era in General Aviation safety.

Most pilots will fly their entire careers without ever needing the protection provided by ASR technology. Pilots don’t think about safety systems. They don’t plan for accidents caused by loss of control or failure of one or more components of delicately balanced flying systems …including the pilots themselves! But every year some 5,000 GA pilots are forced to face a near-death crisis and 20 percent never live to tell about it. Avionic companies have made great strides in creating new features, however, none begin with a comprehensive diagnostic and instant read-out or offer integrated solutions. ASR continues to seek investors who want to get in on the ground floor of its emerging technology and help save lives.
