FAA Grants PMA for Flight View Camera and Satellite Radio Amplifier

Flight Display Systems has received FAA Parts Manufacturing Approval (PMA) for two popular cabin entertainment products: the Flight View Camera (spec sheet) and the Satellite Radio Amplifier (spec sheet). Both of these products are in stock and available today.

The Flight View Camera (part number FD600CAM, List price $1,250) is mounted on the cockpit glare shield and allows passengers to see taxi, takeoff and landing from a pilot’s perspective. Rich, full-color video is displayed on the cabin monitors.

The Flight View Camera from Flight Display Systems is our favorite part of flying. My passengers love it!" said Richard Grad, a Flight Display Systems customer and owner of a CitationJet.

The Satellite Radio Amplifier (part number DAPS360, List price $1,875) allows multiple passengers to have a personal XM or Sirius satellite radio receiver at their seat. Installation of the amplifier is simplified since existing XM Weather antennas can now be used for cabin entertainment purposes without costly modifications to the airframe.

Our Lear 35 charter customer is very happy with his Flight Display System. The owner has now installed the full cabin entertainment package on three of his aircraft, including the XM Satellite Radio amplifier.” said Chad Goddard, Avionics Manager of Cumberland Avionics LLC.
