1 June 2019: Duncan Aviation's Battle Creek, Michigan facility has installed an ALTO Cadence Cabin Management System (CMS) and speaker system in a Challenger 604. The ALTO system was a perfect fit for this customer as they did not want to change the current switches with touchscreen cabin controls.
"Although the switches that were in the Challenger were no longer supported, the switches for the Cadence system fit in the Challenger's existing cutouts, which saved the customer time and money because we didn't have to perform a series of interior modifications," said Avionics Sales Representative, Justin Vena. "The ALTO Cadence is an affordable, scalable CMS for customers who like the retro look and tactile sensation of actual switches."
Besides the new ALTO Cadence CMS, the refurbished cabin also has two new Rosen bulkhead high-definition (HD) monitors and new Blu-Ray source equipment. Those CMS components all integrate with the current Satellite TV system, and the new ALTO switches will control the monitors, source equipment, and Satellite TV.
"I've heard nothing but good things from the customer about everything we did on the Challenger," said Justin Vena. "And I believe we were able to accomplish so much because of the cooperation between ALTO and Duncan Aviation."
