Flat Panel Display Systems For Q-Series Flight Decks
Field Aviation of Canada has chosen Universal
Avionics' EFI-890R Flat Panel Display Systems to fulfill the flight
deck component of its Dash 8 (Q-Series) Modernization Program. The
program will feature a five-panel EFI-890R display suite including
Primary Flight, Navigation and Engine Displays, dual Vision-1
Synthetic Vision, Radio Control Units and WAAS/SBAS-Flight
Management Systems. Universal Avionics is expected to have the
final software and hardware design package available for
installation and certification mid-2010. Integration and
installation will be completed by Field Aviation.
The new flight deck will be available to operators of non-EFIS
and EFIS Dash 8/Q-Series 100, 200 and 300 aircraft. A full-scale
working flight deck mock-up/demonstrator displayed by Field
Aviation will be on hand at the 2010 Q-Series Operators Conference
and Tradeshow in Toronto, Canada, June 14-18.
This EFI-890R Dash 8 flight deck features two large-format
Primary Flight Displays, two Navigation Displays and a dedicated
Engine Display, similar in arrangement to current-production Q400
aircraft. Dual Application Server Units supporting Jeppesen Charts,
Checklists, Edocs, and Video can be displayed on the Navigation
Display or dedicated side-mounted displays and will be offered as
an option. The dedicated Engine Display replaces the existing
electromechanical individual instruments with a single screen with
dual-channel redundancy, significant reduction in maintenance costs
and back-up display.
Operators will benefit from enhanced level of safety and
situational awareness provided by the flat panel displays and
synthetic vision system. Unique special-mission operations features
for the increasing number of classic Qs migrating to those roles
are supported.
Dual Universal WAAS/SBAS-FMS as integrated supports the ability
to operate within all new worldwide Space-Based Augmentation System
(SBAS) airspace and fully-coupled Localizer Performance with
Vertical Guidance (LPV) approaches.
