Landmark Aviation Gets STC for Pro Line 21 IDS on Falcon 50s

Landmark Aviation received a STC (supplemental type certificate) for its installation of Rockwell Collins' IDS (integrated display system) on Dassault Falcon 50s.

The Pro Line 21 IDS upgrade can be configured with three or four 8-inch-by-10-inch AMLCDs (active matrix liquid crystal displays) and includes Rockwell Collins IFIS (integrated flight information system) that enables the use of electronic charts, graphical weather and map overlays.  Other installed options such as AHRS (attitude heading reference system) and TCAS (traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS) can be easily added, according to Landmark.

The FAA certification was completed by Landmark Aviation's FAA DAS (designated alteration station) and the Falcon 50 upgrade work will be performed at Landmark Aviation's maintenance, repair and overhaul center at Springfield, Illinois.

In addition to IDS upgrades, Landmark Aviation also offers a Rockwell Collins' Pro Line 21 integrated avionics retrofit for the Falcon 50 that includes a new autopilot and integrated FMS (flight management system).  12-20-2006.
