Thomas Global Systems announced that its TFD-4100 drop-in CRT-to-LCD display solution has been selected by a “prominent” Bombardier Challenger 604 fleet operator as part of its Collins Pro Line 4 avionics upgrade.
“The selection of our TFD-4100 solution by a respected operator of Challenger 604s highlights the significant reliability and life cycle cost benefits offered by the latest in drop-in LCDs while addressing critical CRT display obsolescence,” said Thomas Global president and COO David Barns. “We are pleased to be rapidly growing the family of aircraft equipped with our proven display solutions.”
The TFD-4100 was developed as a plug-and-play solution and provides a practical and efficient upgrade path for legacy Challengers, Falcons, Gulfstreams, and Saab 2000-series aircraft operators who still have the obsolete Collins EFD-4077 CRT displays in their aircraft. In a related announcement, Thomas Global said Saab 2000 turboprop operator Jetstream Aviation Capital also selected the TFD-4100 for its fleet avionics upgrade.
According to Thomas Global Systems, the TFD-4100 joins the TFD-7076/-77, TFD-8601, and EFI-650 as part of its growing family of drop-in CRT-to-LCD upgrade solutions for commercial, military, and business aircraft.
