Greenwich AeroGroup’s DAC International received an FAA Part 25 approved model list (AML) STC for installation of Esterline’s CMA-6800 LCD in a variety of airplane types. The CMA-6800 replaces the original Honeywell ED-800 cathode-ray tube displays, which are becoming more difficult and expensive to repair. The AML STC covers replacement of the ED-800 in the Hawker 800/800XP/1000, Challenger 601-3A/3R, Dash 8-100/200/300, CL-415 Superscooper, Citation 650, Falcon 900, Fokker 50 and Gulfstream III.

DAC International worked with Peregrine on engineering, test and certification activity for the AML STC. More aircraft will be added in the next few months, according to the company.

“This new product has many benefits,” said DAC vice president and general manager Cisco Hernandez. “Among those are its form-fit-function replacement, higher reliability and its additional I/O and processor growth provisions for future mandates.”
