IS&S Receives Flat Panel Display System Orders From Online Retailers’ Air Carrier Operation

Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S) (NASDAQ: ISSC) was contracted by a premier on-line retailer for upgrades to its expanding air carrier operation, and is now retrofitting this operator’s Boeing aircraft with their state-of-the-art Cockpit/IP® Primary Flight/Navigation Flat Panel Display System. Initial orders are for 11 ship sets of the system.

IS&S believes the growth trend toward older aircraft being reconfigured for cargo operations will continue, as these aircraft provide a cost-effective ease of entry for the legacy carriers and also for newer operators initiating or expanding their air cargo platforms. “The IS&S system provides greatly enhanced economy for these older aircraft, and also increases their residual values as well as delivering safety benefits to everyday operations. Several notable freight operators have opted into our Cockpit/IP® system upgrade for their Boeing fleets,” IS&S stated.

The IS&S flight deck upgrade replaces aging flight instruments on the Boeing 757/767, utilizing a common 10.4-inch LCD display architecture that IS&S developed and certified to increase operational performance, improve dispatch and on-time arrival, simplify maintenance, enhance situational awareness and improve safety for legacy aircraft. The IS&S retrofit decreases fuel consumption and aircraft weight, resulting in operational savings and reduced CO₂ emissions. The system also achieves 3 and 10 day MMEL approval.

Utilizing existing wiring, the installation can be completed in 24 hours while reducing the component count by 70% and removing approximately 180 pounds of legacy equipment, without the operator having to wait through heavy maintenance checks and extended aircraft downtime.

Included in the upgrade is the IS&S Integrated Standby Unit (ISU), which calculates, processes and displays altitude, attitude, airspeed, slip/skid, and navigation display information into a concise single instrument.
