Esterline Avionics (Booth C6327) is highlighting its advanced displays and CMC Electronics brand integrated helicopter avionics solutions this week at Heli-Expo 2018. This includes the company's multifunction displays, flight management systems, TacView portable mission displays, GPS sensors, Doppler velocity sensors, mission computers, electronic flight bags and other display products.

“Our integrated helicopter solutions are highly flexible, allowing for multiple levels of modernization, from a minor upgrade to a full avionics suite. Our goal is to optimize situational awareness for our commercial and military customers and ensure their missions success,” said Don Paolucci, the vice president of navigation and integrated systems with Esterline CMC Electronics.

Esterline’s latest multifunction display, the MFD-3068, features an open architecture platform, true eight-bit color rendition and an extended operating temperature envelope. Its CMA-6800 LCD-based CRT replacement on display is already approved for use in 10 aircraft, including the Sikorsky S-76. Visitors to Esterline’s booth will find CMC Electronics' CMA-6024 GPS landing system sensor, which delivers high-reliability satellite-based augmentation system guidance, localizer performance with vertical guidance approaches, and ground-based augmentation system CAT-I/II/III precision approach capability.
