Van Nuys, California-based Thornton Aviation has completed the installation of a Universal Avionics InSight integrated flight display system in a Dassault Falcon 900B. The work was done under a supplemental type certificate (STC) developed by Dassault Aviation in 2022. 

The STC covers the installation of a four-display InSight system but retains the existing Honeywell flight management system. In this case, Thornton Aviation had to accommodate a change to the STC because the Falcon 900B’s Honeywell avionics had previously been modified with Honeywell Primus Epic CDS/R displays.

“Many Falcon 900B operators have invested significantly on upgrades to their existing Honeywell equipment to include CD-830 and the Mk II+ upgrades, which makes the Dassault STC a great option,” said Thornton Aviation director of avionics Vince Russo.

InSight adds modern features to the Falcon 900B such as Universal’s 3D synthetic vision and 2D interactive digital maps and touchscreen controls. It is also compatible with the FANS 1/A+, CPDLC, and ATN B1 solutions provided by Dassault.
