Thomas Global Systems receives CAA and TCCA STC approvals for flight display upgrades

Thomas Global Systems has received UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) supplemental type certificate (STC) approvals for the installation of its TFD-4000 and TFD-4100 LCD flight display upgrades on Bombardier Challenger 604, Gulfstream G100/G200, Dassault Falcon 2000/2000EX/50EX, Saab 2000 and MHI CRJ Series aircraft.

These latest certifications follow previously received FAA and EASA approvals for these aircraft models.   
 
“These new approvals for the TFD-4000 and TFD-4100 LCD flight display upgrades show our commitment to helping regional and business jet owners and operators extend the life and value of their Collins Pro Line 4 flight decks,” said Angus Hutchinson, CEO of Thomas Global Systems. “These innovative LCD upgrades allow operators to continue flying their existing Pro Line 4 configuration, with dramatically improved display performance, reliability, efficiency, and long-term product support.”

“Options for long-term operation and support of Pro Line 4 displays have been limited,” said Craig Elliott, Vice President of Business Development. “There is still a lot of life left in Pro Line 4 flight decks, which has demonstrated success in achieving the mission needs of thousands of business and regional aircraft worldwide. With the TFD-4000/4100 products and Thomas Global Systems proven track record for technical excellence and reliable product support, we now have a practical and efficient upgrade solution for Pro Line 4 displays.”  

The TFD-4000/4100 upgrades replace legacy Collins Aerospace EFD-4076/4077 Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays with advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. Operators with Pro Line 4 avionics can now eliminate CRT display obsolescence and benefit from the latest high-performance LCD technology, without the need for an expensive full cockpit retrofit, extensive aircraft downtime and crew retraining. The TFD-4000/4100 upgrades are interchangeable and intermixable with legacy Collins EFD-4076/4077 CRT displays.
