Allows Upgrade To Flat Panels For Falcon 2000, 2000EX

Dassault Falcon announced at the NBAA Annual Convention and Meeting Monday the development of a new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Falcon 2000 and 2000EX operators that have the original flight deck displays installed.  The STC will allow operators to upgrade to a set of four flat panel LCD displays, adding functionality and increasing situational awareness.

“This STC will benefit Falcon 2000 and non-EASy F2000EX operators by bringing a new suite of features that substantially increase situational awareness and safety, with comparatively little downtime,” said Geoff Chick, Director of Service Engineering. “In addition, it will help increase the resale value of the aircraft.”

The STC has the potential to create a paperless cockpit by offering E-Charts (in combination with a Jeppesen data subscription), moving maps and XM Satellite Weather.

The suite of LCD displays, built by Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S), are each fully integrated units, offering both weight and power savings over traditional CRT units. As a result, the original aircraft wiring can be retained while the displays are designed to interface easily within the existing control panel.

The STC will be available exclusively through Dassault Falcon and can be installed by Dassault Aircraft Services (DAS) in the United States and Dassault Falcon Services (DFS) in France.
