IS&S Gains FAA Approval for a Digital Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System (EICAS) for Its Flat Panel Display System (FPDS)
September 11, 2024 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) (NASDAQ: ISSC) now offers a FAA certified digital Engine-Indicating and Crew-Alerting System (EICAS) Display System as an enhancement for its B757/B767 Flat Panel Display System (FPDS). This IS&S EICAS Upgrade simplifies the flight deck, resolves ongoing CRT obsolescence issues, reduces weight by an additional 40 pounds, improving fuel savings and power consumption, and is easily installed with minimum downtime due to its design approach. Installations have begun with launch customers.
The IS&S EICAS Display System adds a center 10.4-inch LCD that is the same part number as the displays in the FPDS and two (2) scan converter modules that plug directly into the existing CRT connectors. Rapid installation is ensured by a modified center cockpit panel and an EICAS display mounting plate. There are minimum training differences as the new single IS&S display will provide the current CRT EICAS information with additional display space in the forward field of view for customized warning annunciations. The IS&S EICAS Display system also provides a reversionary display on the navigation display of the FPDS.
“As the trend of reconfiguring B757/B767 aircraft for cargo operations continues, these planes offer a cost-effective solution for both legacy carriers and newer operators expanding their air cargo platforms. The addition of an EICAS display to the IS&S system enhances the FPDS, delivering improved economy, safety benefits, and unmatched reliability,” stated Larry Riddle, Vice President of Commercial Sales & Marketing.
On over 500 aircraft with 38 million flight hours, the IS&S FPDS retrofit replaces aging flight instruments boosting performance, situational awareness, and safety. Installation can be completed in 24 hours, reduces the component count by 80% and eliminates 220 pounds of legacy equipment without the need for heavy maintenance checks or extended downtime.
