StandardAero recently
completed a Falcon 900EX Dassault Falcon Jet (DFJ)
full Elite II avionics retrofit for a Seattle-based
operator at the company’s Springfield, IL, facility.
The DFJ Elite II
program includes upgrades to the existing Honeywell
Primus-2000 avionics flight deck along with
enhancements to address future worldwide mandates.
For this Falcon 900 EX operator, StandardAero
provided Elite II packaged upgrades for WAAS GMS,
DU-875 LCD cockpit displays, CDU-830s, FMS-6.2
software (including LPV), FANS 1/A+ CPDLC and ADS-B.
The aircraft was delivered three days early and
squawk-free for this operator.

“All of these
upgrades ensure this aircraft is in compliance with
upcoming mandates,” said
Marc McGowan,
President of StandardAero Business Aviation. “In
addition, these enhancements will have very positive
effects to the aircraft’s value and this truly
international platform is now in position to
leverage the most efficient worldwide flying
conditions that this aircraft was designed for.”
StandardAero has
performed multiple DFJ Elite II upgrades to date and
currently has several additional aircraft under
contract in 2017. In addition to the Springfield, IL
facility, the upgrades can also be performed at
StandardAero’s Augusta, GA and Houston, TX
facilities. In addition to a wide variety of
avionics offerings, StandardAero also provides
Falcon 900 series operators with OEM-authorized
airframe inspections, completions, paint application
as well as full engine maintenance, repair and
overhaul. |
