FLIGHTSAFETY SELECTS FIELD AVIATION EFI-890R FLIGHT DECK MODERNIZATION PROGRAM FOR DASH 8 SIMULATOR
TORONTO -- FlightSafety International has selected Field Aviation to provide its EFI-890R Flight Deck Modernization program for one of the company’s simulators for the Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft. The simulator is located at FlightSafety’s Toronto Learning Center. The Field Aviation EFI-890R Flight Deck Modernization program is a state of the art replacement of the legacy Dash 8 OEM electromechanical and electronic flight and engine instrumentation systems with five Universal Avionics (UA) EFI-890R flat panel integrated smart displays. Four of these present the pilots with navigation and situational awareness, and the fifth (center unit) displays engine information. The system provides full redundancy by allowing information to be switched between the displays. This program was developed with operator input and utilizes common part numbers for all Dash 8 Series 100/200/300 aircraft. The Field Aviation STC has been approved by Transport Canada, the FAA and EASA and maintains the Dash 8 common pilot type rating.
