Approved For Installation On Boeing 737/757/767 Aircraft
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCAA) has awarded an STC to Thomas Global Systems for its TFD-7000 Series plug-and-play LCD flight displays for Boeing 737/757/767 CRT-equipped aircraft.
Transport Canada approval of the TFD-7000 Series follows FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) authorization for Boeing 737/757/767 aircraft in July of 2019, and FAA STC approvals for Boeing 757/767 and 737-3/4/500 aircraft in July and October of last year, respectively. The TFD-7000 LCD solution is currently being installed in the U.S. on all three Boeing fleet types.
“We are pleased to have completed our next milestone in providing a practical and high-performance LCD retrofit to our customers seeking solutions for CRT obsolescence and maintenance challenges,” Thomas Global CEO, Angus Hutchinson said. “Transport Canada validation of the TFD-7000 Series FAA approvals is an important step forward in expanding the availability of our plug-and-play LCD solution for Boeing 757/767 and 737 classic operators globally.”
TFD-7000 Series displays offer a lighter, more reliable, and lower lifecycle cost replacement for legacy CRTs, with added functionality and capacity for current and emerging airspace requirements. Its inventive plug-and-play design enables cost-effective installation on overnights or at the gate, with no flight or maintenance crew retraining required.
The TFD-7076/7066 plug-and-play LCD solution replaces legacy Collins Aerospace EDU-776/766 CRT displays currently installed on Boeing 757, 767, and 737 classic flight decks. The TFD-7076/7066 LCD displays are both interchangeable and intermixable with the existing legacy EDU-776/766 CRT displays and are fully compatible with the EFIP-701 and EAP-701/3 Boeing symbol generators.
With Transport Canada 737/757/767 STC approval achieved, Thomas Global is proceeding with validation of FAA approvals with the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) and other foreign regulators.
