Universal Avionics and Trimec Aviation to deliver flight deck upgrades for Falcon 2000/EX
Universal Avionics (UA) and Trimec Aviation will be providing integrated avionics solutions for all Dassault Falcon 2000/2000EX aircraft equipped with Collins Aerospace’s Pro Line 4.
UA says the solution will include the company’s InSight Flight Display System, SBAS-Flight Management Systems, SkyLens head-wearable display and UniLink Communications Management system. Completion of the Supplemental Type Certificate is expected on the first-of-type aircraft in the first quarter of 2023. The integration will deliver a rich feature set for enhanced situational awareness and improved safety, and also increases payload by more than 200 lbs.
Dror Yahav, CEO of Universal Avionics, said: “Replacing existing flight deck displays with the InSight Flight Display System is an economical and sustainable initiative that extends the service life of both the flight deck and the aircraft while enhancing capabilities to meet global airspace compliance. Whether you own the aircraft for just a few years or decades to come, we believe this holistic approach complements the rising demand and value of the F2000/F2000EX aircraft.”
John Holland, General Manager of Trimec Aviation, said: “We are excited to be working closely with Universal Avionics on this achievement as our relationship goes back many years. We are always looking for ways to help our customers and this package with Universal Avionics InSight is a big step forward providing a modern package. The additional components provide CPDLC features as well as an economic alternative for Falcon 2000 operators that are now looking to upgrade to FANS [Future Navigation System].”
