Fort Worth, Texas-based Part 145 repair station Trimec Aviation has received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for installation of Universal Avionics’ InSight flight display system in Dassault Falcon 2000s and 2000EXs. The InSight system replaces the stock Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics and includes Universal’s SBAS flight management system and UniLink communications management system, supporting RNP 0.3 instrument approaches, and CPDLC, digital clearances, FANS 1/A+, ATN B1, and push-to-load flight planning from the ground.
Trimec has begun taking reservations for the upgrade and offers customers three options. The primary option is the complete cockpit solution with the CPDLC and FANS 1/A+ and ATN B1 protocols. Customers may alternatively choose to upgrade just the avionics or choose only the CPDLC/FANS option.
“We stand ready to work with Falcon 2000/EX operators to provide this efficient solution as they face irreplaceable CDUs and FMSs for the existing Pro Line 4 cockpit,” said Trimec Aviation general manager John Holland. “This upgrade is a great way to extend the Falcon 2000's operating efficiency, increase its available payload, and enhance pilot safety.”
