October 20 2005 - 10:20AM
Business Wire
On October 14, Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc.
(NASDAQ:ISSC) announced the Company has teamed with ABX Air, Inc.
to upgrade and retrofit B-767 cockpits with their Flat Panel
Display Systems for both Primary Flight Control and Navigation
Control information. As part of that arrangement, ABX Air placed a
$1.6 million order with the Company in September to retrofit
selected airplanes. The first B-767 has already been upgraded with
Primary Flight and Navigation Display Systems and after successful
ground and flight testing, has received Federal Aviation.
Administration (FAA) TSO approval and STC certification. Innovative
Solutions & Support's President, Roman Ptakowski, today said
the ABX Air/IS&S approach provides B767-200/300 operators with
a single point of contact for a low cost, rapidly implemented
retrofit. The turnkey installation can be performed at ABX Air
facilities with minimum downtime. Pilot training can take place at
the same time as the aircraft undergoes the retrofit. The IS&S
Flat Panel Display System or Cockpit Information Portal
(Cockpit/IP(TM)) consists of a pilot and copilot suite of high
resolution multi-color LCD flat panel displays. Operators will
benefit from improved dispatch reliability, logistics savings,
minimal retraining, weight and heat reduction, and adaptability to
future requirements. The ABX Air developed turnkey service provides
installation kits and labor, pilot training, and technical manual
updates. The Cockpit/IP for the B-767 is an example of the
Company's approach to easily installed cockpit upgrades for a
variety of aircraft. It reduces the number of Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs) from 16 to 3 and saves over 200 pounds. Reduced power
consumption not only saves on operation costs but also improves
system reliability. Familiar, flexible formats reduce conversion
training. Changing requirements are accommodated by flexible
graphic display formats that are readily certifiable by the FAA.
"The teaming between ISSC and ABX Air follows the successful
collaboration between the companies on DC-9 Aircraft RVSM Retrofit
certifications and installations," according to Roman Ptakowski.
"We view this as an opportunity to update and retrofit ABX's fleet
of B-767's and to pursue the more than 1700 B-757 and B-767
aircraft with similar Flat Panel Display System upgrades as a
natural extension of both companies capabilities." Headquartered in
