Thomas Global Systems, which designs, produced and supports avionic display systems technology, has launched its TFD-7000 Series plug-and-play LCD replacements for the Rockwell Collins EDU-776D and EDU-766D CRT displays installed in Boeing 757 and 767 cockpits. The innovations are form, fit, function replacements for EFIS-700 CRT system displays, providing a total CRT-to-LCD replacement solution: including EADI, EHSI and EICAS displays. This pioneering development for B757 and B767 flight decks follows the successful certification of the Company’s TFD-8601 LCD retrofit for corporate and regional aircraft.
The TFD-7000 Series has been developed with input from B757 and B767 owners, operators and lessors and aims to tackle the challenges of aging CRTs, particularly with growing concerns about the lack of cost effective upgrade alternatives for B757 and B767 fleets.
Angus Hutchinson, CEO of Thomas Global Systems said: “Following the certification of our TFD-8601 LCD replacement for corporate and regional aircraft, we are pleased to present our TFD-7000 Series LCD replacements for B757 and B767 cockpits. Both aircraft types have productive lives ahead, and our goal is to provide a cost effective, high performance and comprehensive LCD solution that will meet the long-term needs of B757 and B767 owners, operators and lessors. The TFD-7000 Series helps operators to avoid expensive full cockpit retrofits and get the most out of their existing cockpit investment.”
