American Chooses IS&S to Modernize Its B-757 and 767 Cockpits
Innovative Solutions &
Support (IS&S) will modernize the cockpits of American Airlines' fleet of nearly
200 Boeing 757/767 aircraft with new flat-panel display systems. Deliveries
will begin in the fourth quarter of this calendar year.
The retrofit project will
replace 22 individual cockpit instruments with four displays that American
expects will not only significantly improve reliability, but will give these
aircraft a versatile platform that can be easily modified to provide additional
functionality, or to meet future regulatory requirements.
Roman Ptakowski, the president
of IS&S, said his company's
B757/B767 Cockpit/IP (cockpit information portal) upgrade can be
accomplished in less than four days, allowing it to process without the operator
having to wait through heavy maintenance checks and extended aircraft downtime.
