Field Aviation
FIELD AVIATION of Toronto received an STC from the European Aviation Safety Agency for installation of the Universal Avionics EFI-890R display system in the full line of classic DASH 8 aircraft, including the 100-, 200- and 300-series models. The EASA STC follows an earlier STC granted by Transport Canada covering the same installation. FAA certification is pending. The upgrade features five identical Universal Avionics EFI-890R, high definition LCD flat panel displays, of which four primarily present the pilots with navigation and flight information, and the fifth (center display) presents engine information. The system provides full redundancy by allowing information to be switched between

the five displays. Field Aviation has completed flight deck upgrades on a DASH 8 Q300 for the Icelandic Coast Guard and a Q200 for Air Iceland, with a second Air Iceland Q200 aircraft to be delivered with the upgrade next month. The first DASH 8 Q100 to receive the flight deck upgrade is Bluebird Aviation Limited of Nairobi, Kenya, with an aircraft in production now and a second scheduled for later this year. When Field Aviation delivers the Bluebird Aviation Q100, it will be significant in that all three series of classic DASH 8s will then be operating with Field Aviation’s EFI-890R-based flight deck modernization upgrade.
