Thomas Global secures EASA Approval for Boeing 757/767 Plug-and-Play LCD Flight Display Upgrade
IRVINE, California and SYDNEY, Australia: Thomas Global Systems has received European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) approval for its TFD-7000 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 767-200/300 aircraft.
The TFD-7000 Series delivers 757/767 flight decks with all the benefits of LCD technology and incorporates added functionality and capacity for current and emerging airspace requirements. Its inventive plug-and-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-7000 Series LCD upgrade brings new life to 757/767 flight decks – in a practical and cost-effective way. In the current economic climate, we are particularly excited to be extending the plug-and-play benefits of the TFD-7000 Series to European operators – helping them to lower costs, increase display reliability and address critical CRT obsolescence,” Thomas Global’s COO, David Barnes, said.
The TFD-7076/7066 plug-and-play LCD solutions replace legacy Collins Aerospace EDU-776/766 CRT displays currently installed on Boeing 757, 767 and 737 Classic flight decks. The TFD-7076/7066 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.
The TFD-7000 Series received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Standard Order (TSO) and Supplemental Type Certification (STC) approvals for Boeing 737/757/767 CRT-equipped aircraft in 2019, followed by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) STC validation approval achieved earlier this year. Delta Air Lines selected the TFD-7000 Series LCD solution to retrofit their Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft in late 2018.
