Rockwell Collins large-format flight display upgrade for Boeing 767 certified in Europe

Rockwell Collins has reported that its large-format flight display upgrade for Boeing 767 aircraft received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) type certification. The upgrade and certification were completed for Star Air through a collaborative effort between Rockwell Collins, Boeing, Atlantic Aviation Group and L2 Aviation. The new 767 and 757 flight display system, also certified by the Federal Aviation Administration, brings a series of innovative technologies that dramatically enhance situational awareness, improve reliability five-fold, decrease line maintenance actions by 80 percent, provide positive return on investment and decrease avionics weight. All this plus mitigating Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) obsolescence challenges positions the aircraft for future airspace evolutions.
