StandardAero, a Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) company, announced they will be the launch partner and generate the first Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for  Honeywell’s DU-875 flight deck upgrade program for Falcon 900C and EX series aircraft. This upgrade program will replace the existing Honeywell Primus 2000 DU-870 cathode ray tube (CRT) displays with new Honeywell DU-875 liquid crystal displays (LCD).
The new displays have the same dimensions as the existing Primus 2000 displays allowing for minimal installation downtime, and because the existing display symbology and functionality is retained, minimal crew training will be required. The LCDs require less power than the current CRT displays, greatly reducing heat and thus eliminating the need for forced air cooling as well as nearly doubling the reliability of the current CRTs. In addition, the new LCD units are considerably lighter than CRTs for a cumulative weight savings of up to 35 pounds.
The new LCD displays will include a built-in Advanced File Graphics Server allowing the system to display electronic charts, maps, XM graphical weather and video; a capability not available with the current CRT displays.
