Alto Aviation has developed a retrofit solution for Gulfstream G200s equipped with obsolete Honeywell or Collins cabin management systems (CMS). The retrofit features several upgrades, including removing headphone audio jacks for optional USB-A or -C charging ports and replacing existing CD/DVD source equipment with Bluetooth audio receivers. In addition, existing NTSC aux panels are swapped with HDMI aux ports to interface with high-definition bulkhead monitors.
"We are pleased to serve our MRO customers by introducing this simple and effective upgrade solution designed to solve CMS obsolescence in the Gulfstream G200 aircraft. Cadence switch panels offer a practical CMS solution without any performance compromise and an unrivaled price point. Our authorized installers do a great job, and the installations are fast, with seamless results, easily bringing new cabin control life to this great aircraft," said Steve Lord, senior technical sales manager at Alto Aviation.
The company's retrofit also provides replacement switch panels at all locations except the VIP seat and the galley locations, which need to be trimmed to support the additional features required for the master switch panels.
