Esterline LCDs Approved for S-76s

DAC International (Booth 3908) has received FAA supplemental type certificate approval to install the Esterline CMC (Booth 3207) CMA-6800 LCD display on the Sikorsky S-76B/C series helicopter, including the S-76C+/C++ models. DAC president Cisco Hernandez said the new display offers many benefits including "form, fit, and function" replacement for the stock Honeywell ED-800, in addition to weight savings and reduced maintenance costs.

The CMA-6800 can replace ED-800 cathode ray tube displays, all at once or one at a time, allowing operators to use up the remaining service life of their old displays. The CMA-6800 has been approved for installation on multiple aircraft types and by multiple certifying agencies, including the FAA, Transport Canada and EASA.
