honeywell du-885 lcd displays made in china

The end of September marked a new milestone for ScioTeq.The avionics visualization specialist from Kortrijk in Belgium delivered its 5.000th TSO certified DU-875/885 avionics display to Honeywell.

ScioTeq’s TSO’d DU-875/885 is part of Honeywell’s Primus Elite platform, which has STC’s on over 13 aircraft types, such as Bombardier Global Express, Embraer Legacy L600/650, Gulfstream G IV/IV-SP/V, Falcon 900 EX&C, Do-328, Citation X,..

This platform is designed as an affordable upgrade for the previously fielded DU-870/880 CRT displays, and replaces them with a state of the art LCD solution.

The DU-885/875 guarantees a better image quality, less heat in the cockpit, a lower weight, Advanced Features, Synthetic Vision and lots of other benefits at a lower cost of operation.

"For us it"s getting back to basics, the equipment our customers are flying every day," says Rob Wilson, president of Honeywell"s business aviation unit. "That means retrofits, modifications and upgrades." Topping the list of requested applications for those upgraded cockpits, says Wilson, are flight efficiency optimisers like required navigation performance (RNP), enhanced GPS approaches (WAAS LPV) or NextGen features such as controller-pilot datalink (FANS 1/A).

In response, Honeywell is introducing flightdeck upgrades that will put "glass" display upgrades into legacy cockpits while introducing the advanced navigation, communication and surveillance (CNS) features to a large variety of existing and new Gulfstream models.

Along with flight management system upgrades that support WAAS LPV, FANS and RNP special aircraft and aircrew authorisation required (SAAAR) down to 0.1nm (0.18km) separation, Wilson says the retrofit package will also offer legacy cockpits the growth potential to add synthetic vision and paperless terminal charts. Based on the Barco-built DU-885 liquid crystal displays with LED backlighting, Honeywell will offer the package for legacy GIV, GIV-SP, G300, G400 and GV family aircraft.

Similar enhanced capability programs are under way in Dassault aircraft with Primus Epic EASy and Primus 2000-equipped cockpits, as well as in Bombardier Challenger and Global Express models with Honeywell cockpits.

Rockwell Collins unveiled an upgrade programme in 2007 that augments legacy Pro Line 4 cockpits with Pro Line 21 features. Duncan Aviation, the STC holder, has completed two such conversions on Dassault Falcon 50EXs. The upgrade interfaces existing Pro Line 4 sensors, radio and autopilots, to Pro Line 21 displays, which offer graphical weather, electronic charts and airport diagrams, display of enhanced vision system video and other features. Along with the Falcon 50EX, Duncan also holds STCs on the upgrade for the Hawker 800A, Hawker 800XP and Astra 1125, and is developing one for the Falcon 2000. Constant Aviation will obtain an STC for the same conversion on the Beechjet 400A later this year.

The avionics manufacturer has not yet decided whether its new flagship offering - Pro Line Fusion - will be available for the retrofit market. Selected for eight new platforms so far, including the Global Express Global Vision upgrade and Gulfstream G250, Fusion will offer increased situational awareness through synthetic and enhanced vision as well as multi-scan weather radar on 15in (38.1cm) LCD displays, the largest in the industry.

In the cabin, Honeywell is giving customers lower-cost connectivity through an upgrade to Ovation Selection that will allow passengers to send and receive Blackberry messages and pay only by the size of the message.

Unlike many other screens, the DU-875 LCD display units fit your existing system, reducing downtime and additional costs. What’s more the DU-875 liquid crystal display upgrade delivers brighter, clearer, higher resolution images, and 2X the reliability of your old and obsolete DU-870 CRTs.

Update your display today and take advantage of a range of benefits, including:Reduced cost of ownership thanks to lighter LCD displays that provide a weight reduction of up to 7lbs per unit, which translates to fuel savings
