Thornton Aviation has successfully installed a Universal Avionics InSight integrated flight display system in a Dassault Falcon 900B, utilizing a supplemental type certificate (STC) developed by Dassault Aviation in 2022.

Custom Solutions for Existing Systems
The STC allows for a four-display InSight system while retaining the existing Honeywell flight management system. Thornton Aviation had to adapt the STC to accommodate modifications previously made to the Falcon 900B’s Honeywell avionics, which included Honeywell Primus Epic CDS/R displays.

Vince Russo, Director of Avionics at Thornton Aviation, commented, “Many Falcon 900B operators have invested significantly in upgrades to their existing Honeywell equipment to include CD-830 and the Mk II+ upgrades, which makes the Dassault STC a great option.”

Enhanced Features for Modern Flight
The InSight system enhances the Falcon 900B with modern functionalities such as Universal’s 3D synthetic vision, 2D interactive digital maps, and intuitive touchscreen controls. It also supports FANS 1/A+, CPDLC, and ATN B1 solutions provided by Dassault.

This upgrade positions Falcon 900B operators to leverage advanced avionics technology for improved flight operations.
