Thomas Global Systems is introducing a drop-in LCD screen upgrade for business jet flight decks equipped with legacy Collins Pro Line 4 systems with EFD-4077 displays. The TFD-4100 is a drop-in replacement for Collins CRT displays installed on numerous business jet models, including the Bombardier Challenger 604 and Learjet 60; Dassault Falcon 50EX/2000/2000EX; Gulfstream G100/G200; and Beechjet 400A/XP.
The plug-and-play TFD-4100 will provide brighter, clearer images and an expanded display area for added symbology, as well as improved reliability and lifecycle. It is compatible with existing EFD-4077 Pro Line 4 architecture and built-in test equipment, and doesn’t affect OEM display software service bulletins.
“With EFD-4077 production and OEM support coming to an end, the TFD-4100 helps operators get the most from their existing investment by improving performance at a lower life-cycle cost, providing a growth path for new functionality, and ensuring continued reliable product support,” said Thomas Global president and COO David Barnes.
The TFD-4100 is the sixth in a line of CRT-to-LCD replacement screens that are already operating on several commercial, regional, and business aircraft types. Certification of the TFD-4100 is expected in early 2023.
