Offers Two-Phase Installation
SUGAR GROVE, IL – Chicago Jet Group (CJG) delivered the second Dassault Falcon 900B Universal InSight Flight Deck upgrade. This second Falcon 900B flight deck upgrade was delivered on-budget, a day early from the promised forecasted downtime, and squawk free. The Chicago Jet Group FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Universal Avionics’ (UA) InSight Flight Deck Upgrade was utilized, once again establishing the engineering reliability of the STC package and proving the experience of the Chicago Jet Group engineering, installation, and certification teams. From aircraft arrival to departure, flight deck upgrade downtime is approximately 12 weeks.
CJG’s unique STC solutions for the Falcon 900B Flight Deck Upgrade are designed to allow operators to choose from a Phase One or Phase Two Package. Phase One replaces the NZ-2000 FMS by adding dual UA UNS-1Fw SBAS-FMSs including LP and LPV approach capabilities, a CVR-120A Cockpit Voice Recorder, and UniLink™ UL-801 Communications Management Unit. This solution offers capabilities for FANS 1/A+ CPDLC, European ATN B1, and Push-to-Load required by the FAA for Domestic US CPDLC, departure, and en-route clearances. This FANS Over Iridium (FOI) design utilizes the Latitude Technologies DL150 Iridium transceiver.
In Phase Two, the InSight Integrated Flight Deck Solution replaces the legacy EDZ-800 EFIS System with four UA InSight EFI-1040 Displays, dual Touch EFIS Control Display Units (ECDU), dual Alpha Numeric Keyboards (ANK), and the Mid-Continent SAM® MD-302 Standby Attitude Module, for a weight savings of more than 250 pounds. CJG’s STC options include upgraded dual or triple integrated PS Egnineering PAC45L audio control panels system, Latitude Technologies Iridium-based SkyNode S200 Safety Voice SATCOM for the cockpit, and Aircraft Lighting International (ALI) enhanced adjustable LED cockpit lighting for the overhead panel, glareshield instrument panel flood lights, along with replacement LED lamps for the cockpit dome lights and reading lights.
CJG’s two-phase installation offers Falcon 900B owner/operators flexibility in budget and downtime coordination. The most comprehensive installation provides both Phase One and Phase Two during a single downtime event.
“The InSight Display System reinforces the Falcon 900B capability as a NextGen world-class aircraft, adding functionality and assuring increased airframe value” said Mike Mitera, Chicago Jet Group President. “Pilots, owners, and operators are delighted with immediate results in safety of flight, increased aircraft value, lower operating cost, and increased dispatch reliability of the Universal Avionics equipment over the original OEM cockpit design. The sustainable technology provides long-term reliability by reducing risk, and most importantly, is available today.”
