L-3's SmartDeck Receives FAA Certification
(Grand Rapids, Mich., May 22, 2008) -- L-3 Communications Avionics Systems (L-3 Avionics) announced today that it has received Technical Standard Order (TSO) Authorization and Supplemental Type Certification (STC) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the SmartDeck(R) Integrated Flight Controls and Display System. The STC has been awarded for the Cirrus Design SR22 G2 model, and L-3 Avionics will offer the STC through authorized dealers for retrofit.
"SmartDeck's revolutionary user interface is designed to boost pilot confidence and create a safe, simple and easy-to-control cockpit environment," said Adrienne Stevens, president of L-3 Avionics Systems. "We're thrilled to deliver this state-of-the-art, next-generation avionics system to the market."
L-3 conducted extensive testing to create SmartDeck's simple user interface and designed the menu structure to support pilot functions in "three clicks or less." The result is a departure from the current glass cockpit model; pertinent flight information is more rapidly accessible and less confusing than with other systems.
"It makes flying safer, easier and more fun," said Stevens. "When pilots fly the system for the first time, we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback about the crisp graphics and overall ease of use. The best way for someone to compare SmartDeck to other systems is to fly it. It speaks for itself."
