Goodrich will Supply B-787 Flight Deck Entry Video Surveillance

Boeing will offer its B-787 customers an optional flight deck entry video surveillance system supplied by Goodrich.

The system's video cameras, which can function in total darkness, will provide pilots with a complete view of the 787's flight deck entry area in order to enhance cockpit security.  A video server will interface with the aircraft's EFB (electronic flight bag) system, including its client server applications software.

Jan Mathiesen, the vice president of Goodrich Sensor Systems said Boeing's award follows others for similar video surveillance solutions on the B-737NG, B-747-400 and B-777.

Goodrich says over 2,700 of its stand-alone cockpit door surveillance systems are installed and operating worldwide today on more than 60 different airlines. The company holds STCs (supplemental type certificates) for aftermarket video solutions for all Boeing 7x7 series aircraft.  04-09-2006.
