TORONTO - Mid-Canada Mod Center (MC2) recently completed installation of a Universal Avionics (UA) InSight display system on a Citation VII aircraft. This marks the first Canadian installation of Universal Avionics’ integrated flight deck solution.
The work included an extensive flight deck upgrade, inflight connectivity, plus additional certification related to activities to obtain Transport Canada approval of UA’s FAA Supplemental Type Certificates (STC). MC2’s sister division, Avionics Design Services (ADS) helped smooth the way for application submissions and developed an STC for a software upgrade.
With this completed installation and certification, the InSight Display System is now a solution for all Citation VII aircraft with existing Honeywell and Collins Nav/Comm packages.
Recognizing the Canadian milestone, Dror Yahav, UA CEO said, “We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with MC2 to certify our InSight display system in the Canadian market. The excellent personal and technical relationships between our companies resulted, again, in a wonderful cockpit upgrade which brings state-of-the-art capabilities to the Citation VII aircraft.”
This modification, which also included in-flight connectivity, saw the client take advantage of the downtime related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was completed in a short time frame. The new flight deck offers the operator: the ability to land at unfamiliar airports with confidence, simplified user control and input, and increased reliability with high component MTBF/MTBUR.
