MC2’s Falcon 50 upgraded to UA InSight flight deck
Universal Avionics’ (UA) InSight integrated flight deck solution has been selected by Authorized Dealer Mid-Canada Mod Center (MC2) for a Falcon 50 NextGen upgrade
MC2 chose the InSight retrofit flight deck solution to modernize the aircraft with NextGen capabilities for FANS 1/A+ and Data Comm, and to replace the legacy CRT displays.
“The selection of InSight as an upgrade for the Falcon 50 is another great example of bringing existing business jets into the frontline of technology in a cost effective way,” said Dror Yahav, Universal Avionics CEO. “We value our long relationship with MC2, a company which strives to always deliver an excellent solution to the customer.”
Reducing maintenance costs
“Replacing the legacy electro-mechanical components with modern electronic displays and control systems will strengthen this aging Falcon 50’s situational awareness and reduce maintenance costs," added Bill Arsenault, President, Mid-Canada Mod Center. “We chose Universal Avionics’ InSight Display System to future-proof the flight deck with features like FANS/CPDLC and Data Comm. In our experience, these upgrades mirror what OEMs are installing in today’s new aircraft—at a reasonable cost.”
The 4-display InSight solution is also the first building block in preparing the Falcon 50 flight deck for other systems such as UA’s ClearVision™ Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) with SkyLens™ Head-Wearable Display, Interactive SVS (i-SVS), additional display options for engine indication, and more.
