Thomas Global secures EASA approval for Boeing 757/767 plug-and-play LCD flight display upgrade

Thomas Global Systems has received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for its TFD7000 Series plug-and-play LCD flight displays for Boeing 757 and 767 cathode ray tube (CRT)equipped aircraft. It is the first EASA-approved retrofit of its kind for Boeing 757-200/300 and 767200/300 aircraft.

The TFD-7000 Series delivers 757/767 flight decks with all the benefits of LCD technology and added functionality and capacity for current and emerging airspace requirements. Its inventive plugand-play design enables cost-effective installation on overnights or even at the gate, without flight or maintenance crew retraining and with no changes to flight deck wiring, panels or simulators.

The TFD-7076/7066 plug-and-play LCD solutions replace legacy Rockwell Collins EDU-776/766 CRT displays currently installed on 757, 767 and Boeing 737 Classic flight decks. The TFD7076/7066 LCDs are both interchangeable and intermixable with the existing legacy EDU-776/766 CRT displays and are fully compatible with the EFIP-701D/E Boeing symbol generators.
