Thomas Global’s TFD-8601 cockpit display now certified for Dassault Falcon 50

Thomas Global Systems has announced at the Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) National Convention, that its TFD-8601 AMLCD cockpit display has received a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) supplemental type certificate (STC) for installation in Dassault Falcon 50 aircraft. The TFD-8601 cockpit display is a pioneering plug-and-play, Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) replacement for aging cathode ray tube (CRT) displays installed in a variety of regional, business and military aircraft. A shipset of four displays saves over 12 pounds per cockpit and requires 70% less power than aging CRTs during normal operation. The TFD-8601 cockpit display was developed in partnership with Regional Express (Rex), one of the world’s leading regional airlines and the largest operator of Saab 340 aircraft.
