Chicago Jet Group (CJG) has delivered its second Universal InSight flight deck upgrade on a Dassault Falcon 900B squawk free and a day early, the Sugar Grove, Illinois-based charter and MRO provider announced. CJG used its supplemental type certificate (STC) for the InSight upgrade, which the FAA awarded to the company last year.
Downtime for installation is about 12 weeks. Its STC enables operators to select from two upgrade packages. Phase One replaces the Honeywell NZ-2000 FMS by adding dual Universal UNS-1Fw flight management systems with LP/LPV approach capabilities, a CVR-120A cockpit voice recorder, and UniLink UL-801 communications management unit. The future air navigation system (FANS) over Iridium solution offers capabilities for FANS 1/A+ CPDLC, European ATN B1, and push-to-load.
In Phase Two, legacy Honeywell EDZ-800 EFISs are replaced with four Universal InSight EFI-1040 displays, dual touchscreen EFIS control display units, dual alphanumeric keyboards, and Mid-Continent MD-302 standby attitude module. Operators can also select a comprehensive installation involving both packages during a single, downtime event.
On the most recent upgrade, CJG also completed a cabin refurbishment and maintenance, along with the installation of a 43-inch 4K LED TV, two 22-inch TVs, a Dolby cinema processor CP950, 21 power outlets with USB, LED cabin lights, all new CMS system by DPI, lead acid battery upgrade, Gogo L5 Avance WiFi, weather radar update to WU-880, and Mid-Continent CH-93 digital clocks.
