A Falcon 900B recently departed Duncan Aviation’s MRO facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, following a complete flight deck modernization that incorporated Universal Avionics’ InSight flight display system. A 2C inspection and interior refurbishment were included alongside the avionics overhaul.
The aircraft owner selected Universal InSight to replace the outdated CRTs with LCD displays that provide enhanced 3D graphics capabilities for synthetic vision, weather monitoring, terrain awareness, and traffic detection systems.&nbsp;“Universal InSight is a fantastic option for customers with aging avionics and no path for future enhancements,” noted Duncan senior avionics sales rep Jeff Simmons.
The modernization effort was compatible with the aircraft’s existing Honeywell NZ-2000 flight management system. Additionally, the upgrade established a foundation for future NextGen and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) compliance.&nbsp;More than 250 pounds of obsolete equipment and wiring were removed from the aircraft’s nose section.
Alto Aviation’s Cadence cabin management system (CMS) was also installed, featuring contemporary control interfaces while providing passengers with HDMI connectivity, Bluetooth functionality, and accessible USB charging capabilities.&nbsp;“It controls all of your cabin functionality from the galley to the lav, while also offering control of the entertainment,” Simmons explained.
According to Duncan Aviation, eight Falcon 900Bs now operate with the InSight system, with three more currently undergoing similar modifications.

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
