Thomas Global Systems has received Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for its TFD-7000 Series plug-and-play LCD flight displays for Boeing 737/757/767 cathode ray tube (CRT)-equipped aircraft. CAAC certification is the latest in a growing number of TFD-7000 Series regulatory approvals, including from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA), Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) and the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB).
The TFD-7000 retrofit innovation captures all the benefits of LCD technology in a proven, drop-in solution with growth capacity for emerging airspace requirements, while avoiding a major flight deck modification with its associated aircraft downtime and crew retraining costs.
