At NBAA 2005 – Flight Display Systems, the leader in retrofit in-flight entertainment equipment, today announced Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of single-engine turboprop aircraft, has selected Flight Display Systems’ entertainment products to be included as an option on all new PC-12 aircraft.
The two companies worked together to develop a low profile cabin display mount (FD70ARM-LP) featuring Flight Display Systems’ high-resolution 7″ cabin entertainment monitor (FD70CV). The non-invasive display mount is customized for the large Pilatus cabin, matching the interior contour of the airframe. Switching of up to three video sources is controlled on the monitor, allowing passengers to select between dual video inputs and a Flight Display Systems’ Moving Map display (FD200CPU-3).
