September 17, 2007

LINCOLN, NEB — Duncan Aviation will provide a 30-minute update on its Glass Box Project cockpit retrofit program at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26, in Room B208 of Atlanta’s Convention Center during the NBAA Show.

At this meeting, we will provide updates on Duncan Aviation’s Glass Box Project solutions and share plans for future solutions. Attendees will learn about the new features being certified to expand the capability of these modern digital cockpit systems. And they will learn how a GBP retrofit could benefit their operation and add value to their aircraft.

In addition to Wednesday’s short presentation, Duncan Aviation will have Glass Box representatives available at the Duncan Aviation/Honeywell static Display, Booth #02.

Duncan Aviation’s Glass Box Project has continued to expand its reach throughout 2007 with solution certifications for Falcon 900s, Falcon 50s, Challenger 600s/601-1As, Astras, Hawker 800/800XP/1000s, King Air 200/300/350s and Gulfstreams.

Introduced in 2004, Duncan Aviation’s Glass Box Project is a focused effort to make available the latest in emerging flat-panel retrofit technology. Reduced downtimes, risk and investment are being delivered with thorough preplanning with customers, the FAA, avionics and airframe OEMs and Duncan Aviation’s in-house engineering team.

“There is a great deal of momentum in the market toward Glass Box retrofits. The benefits of increased safety, reduced pilot workload and increased aircraft value are really hitting home with pilots and owners,” says Steve Elofson, Duncan Aviation Avionics Sales Manager. The new displays are capable of displaying all the established avionics imagery such as TCAS, TAWS, Radar and Navigation along with the new latest and greatest features like Jeppeson charts, Nexrad weather, infrared Enhanced Vision Systems and others, he explains.
