Canada and UK certify Thomas Global’s flight display upgrades for business jets

1 month ago


The Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has granted Thomas Global Systems with supplemental type certificate (STC) approvals for the installation of its TFD-4000 and TFD-4100 LCD flight display upgrades on a variety of aircraft models.

The approval grants installations for Bombardier Challenger 604, Gulfstream G100/G200, Dassault Falcon 2000/2000EX/50EX, Saab 2000 and MHI CRJ Series aircraft.

These latest certifications follow previously received FAA and EASA approvals for these aircraft models.

The TFD-4000/4100 upgrades replace legacy Collins Aerospace EFD-4076/4077 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays with advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. Operators with Pro Line 4 avionics can now eliminate CRT display obsolescence, and benefit from the latest high-performance LCD technology, without the need for an expensive full cockpit retrofit, extensive aircraft downtime and crew retraining.

Thomas Global Systems says the TFD-4000/4100 upgrades are interchangeable and intermixable with legacy Collins EFD-4076/4077 CRT displays, and leverage the company’s proven technology currently operating across Boeing 767/757/737-C, MHI CRJ Series, ATR 42/72, Dash 8, Saab 340, EMB120 and other regional and business airframes.

Angus Hutchinson, chief executive of Thomas Global Systems, said of the new approvals: “These innovative LCD upgrades allow operators to continue flying their existing Pro Line 4 configuration, with dramatically improved display performance, reliability, efficiency, and long-term product support.”

Craig Elliott, vice president of business development at Thomas Global Systems, said: “Options for long-term operation and support of Pro Line 4 displays have been limited. There is still a lot of life left in Pro Line 4 flight decks, which has demonstrated success in achieving the mission needs of thousands of business and regional aircraft worldwide.
