Chicago Jet Group gains STC approval for UA InSight on Falcon 900B
Chicago Jet Group (CJG) received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for Universal Avionics’ (UA) InSight Flight Deck Upgrade on the Dassault Falcon 900B
CJG’s STC solutions for the Falcon 900B Flight Deck Upgrade are designed to allow operators to choose from a Phase One or Phase Two Package. Phase One replaces the NZ-2000 FMS by adding dual UA UNS-1Fw SBAS-FMSs including LP and LPV approach capabilities, a CVR-120A Cockpit Voice Recorder, and UniLink UL-801 Communications Management Unit.
In Phase Two, the InSight Integrated Flight Deck Solution replaces the legacy EDZ-800 EFIS System with four UA InSight EFI-1040 Displays, dual Touch EFIS Control Display Units, dual Alphanumeric Keyboards, and the Mid-Continent SAM MD-302 Standby Attitude Module, for weight savings of more than 250 pounds.
Flexibility in downtime and budget
CJG’s two-phase installation offers Falcon 900B operators flexibility in budget and downtime co-ordination. The most comprehensive installation offers both Phase One and Phase Two during a single downtime event.
“The InSight Display System continues to gain significant momentum in the market, with nine STCs available or in advanced development, demonstrating the scalability of the system for business aviation,” said Dror Yahav, UA CEO. “Upcoming upgrades for Enhanced Flight Vision Systems and Flight Deck Connectivity will bring the updated airplane into the front line of business jets.”
The CJG Falcon 900B STC for InSight is available from select Universal Avionics Authorized distributors.
