Pacific Avionics & Instruments delivers first Beechcraft 1900D Flight Deck Modernization

Pacific Avionics & Instruments reported the approval of the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the Beechcraft 1900D Flight Deck Modernization. This modernization provides Beechcraft 1900D aircraft operators the necessary requirements to fly in today’s complicated modern airspace. This includes greater situational awareness and reduced pilot workload with features such as Impending Stall Speed Warning, display of Wind Vectors on each pilot’s primary flight display (PFD), and integration of Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) display on top of map indications on each pilot PFD. A further benefit is the full Digital Flight Director integration with Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV), Lateral Navigation with Vertical Guidance (LNAV+V) path annunciations and display declutter at extreme attitudes. Launch customer North Caribou Air, with operations in Calgary Alberta, Edmonton Alberta and Fort St. John, BC, will be the first operator to be fitted with Pacific Avionics & Instruments certified Pro Line 21 IDS solution developed in partnership with Rockwell Collins, specifically for the B1900D platform.
