What’s The Problem?
As many operators know, the Honeywell DU-870 CRT installed on a variety of older aircraft with PRIMUS avionics suites are no longer being supported by the OEM. West Star wants to remind operators that there is an easy solution for this common obsolescence issue.
Who Does This Affect:
This problem/solution affects many different operators including:
- Falcon 900C/EX
- Global Express
- Learjet 40/45
- Embraer Legacy 600/650
- Citation X
- Citation 550/560
What’s The Solution?
The DU-875 LCD is a drop in solution for the DU-870. The LCD displays provide a clear, high resolution picture with increased reliability, reduced weight and operate at cooler temperatures. Operators can also take the display upgrade to the next level with some added features when all the displays are replaced and additional wiring modifications are accomplished.
Primus Elite Enhanced Features (PEEF) will add Jeppesen Chart and Map functions to the new LCD displays. XM weather will add graphic weather overlay to displays. Primus Elite Advanced Features (PEAF) will add Synthetic Vision to the package which is a pilot favorite and does increase situational awareness. Honeywell is currently offering a trade in credit for the removed DU-870s.
How Much Does It Cost?
Details and pricing do vary from airframe to airframe. Please contact an Avionics Technical Sales Manager for more information.
