Second L100-30 Flight Deck Modified
CMC Electronics Inc. tells ANN it
has completed the avionics systems integration of a second L100-30
aircraft for the Dubai Air Wing. CMC Electronics is teamed with
Gulf Aircraft Maintenance Company (GAMCO), the prime contractor for
the project.
The Dubai Air Wing L100-30 aircraft -- a variant of the C-130
Hercules -- is on static display at this year's Dubai Air Show.
CMC Electronics supplied its CMA-900 Flight Management System
(FMS) as the core of the upgrade, while GAMCO was responsible for
all Program Depot Maintenance (PDM) inspection requirements, a new
cargo handling system, aircraft painting and the installation of
the cockpit upgrade systems in full coordination with CMC
Electronics. The installation on board the Dubai Air Wing L100-30
aircraft also features the CMC Electronics' PilotView Electronic
Flight Bag (EFB).
The Dubai Air Wing configuration is a multi-sensor system based
on a fully integrated dual CMA-900 FMS, providing effectively 100%
dispatch reliability anywhere in the world, and seamless navigation
from take-off to final approach. This upgrade will allow the Dubai
Air Wing's aircraft to meet all P-RNAV (precision area navigation),
flight data recording and TAWS (Terrain Avoidance Warning System)
requirements. The CMA-900 features a color, liquid-crystal
multi-function display and includes CMC Electronics'
industry-leading GPS sensor.
"We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the Dubai Air Wing and
GAMCO on this comprehensive modernization program," said Bruce
Bailey, CMC Electronics' Vice President, Commercial Aviation.
According to Dubai Air Wing Commander Brigadier (Pilot) Rashid
Balhaul, "We look forward to reaping the many economic, operational
and safety related benefits provided by the upgrade of our
L100-30 aircraft."
