Alto Aviation’s new cabin management system (CMS) upgrades for the Gulfstream GIV and GV provide a simple means of replacing the original legacy Pacific Systems/Airshow cabin switches. The Alto switches are a direct replacement and are fit-compatible, which means that existing wood and furnishing are not compromised. Alto solutions include and fit "Micronet round, squared, raised-oval button, and the concave curved side ledge panels,” according to the company.
Customers can select a variety of Alto solutions to fit their aircraft and budget needs. For example, headphone functionality can be removed, and those jacks replaced with blanking plates and new panels with USB charging and seat lighting controls. Headphones can be retained too, when needed for viewing video. If more capability is required, such as aux input ports for VIP or entertainment cabinet panels, HDMI ports, and USB charging ports, Alto’s Cadence Switch System can accommodate this functionality without having to change the original switch cutout.
