In an effort to lure more customers to the Nextant 604XT next-generation flight deck, MRO provider Constant Aviation (Booth C10617) is hosting a couple of promotions at its booth at NBAA-BACE. The promotions come as Constant marks the 22nd delivery of the upgrade, the cost of which is $69,040 for a limited time.
The first three customers signing up for a 604XT upgrade and qualifying inspection at Constant’s booth this week at NBAA-BACE will receive an optional MultiScan Weather Radar at no charge. Automated MultiScan predictive weather and advanced threat detection offers 604XT upgraded aircraft operators the ability to mitigate the risk of inadvertently penetrating thunderstorms. “Nearly every 604XT customer has optioned the popular MultiScan radar to date,” said Constant Nextant 604XT program director Steve Bruce.
Additionally, Constant is offering attendees a chance to try out the upgrade with a fully functioning 604XT flight deck demonstrator. “The demonstrator replicates the layout and feel of a 604XT by positioning functioning Pro Line Fusion touchscreen displays, cursor control panel and multifunction keyboard panel in front of a Challenger pilot seat,” Bruce explained. “Users can adjust altitude and approach angles to simulate approaches into their favorite airports.”
Sister company Nextant Aerospace began the first phase of its Challenger 604XT remanufacturing program following STC approval of the Rockwell Collins touchscreen Pro Line Fusion flight deck upgrade in 2018. Other phases include new cabin floor plans, a composite interior shell with LED lighting, oversized tables, and performance enhancements such as a 500-nm range extension and increasing its maximum altitude to FL450, from FL410.
