Southeast Aerospace, Inc. (SEA), a leading provider of aerospace solutions, has announced that it has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for an amendment to Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) number ST04570CH. This amendment now enables the modernization of Honeywell SPZ 8000 equipped Hawker 800 series aircraft, specifically the Hawker 800A, 800B, and 800XP models. The latest approval will boost the services provided by the company and welcome more such innovations in the industry.
The STC offers a significant upgrade for aircraft with existing Collins APS-80 or Honeywell SPZ 8000 autopilots by allowing the installation of the Universal InSight Integrated Flight Deck. This cutting-edge flight deck includes advanced avionics features such as a sophisticated synthetic vision system, comprehensive electronic charts, and integrated radio control capabilities. This modernization reduces the number of external Line Replaceable Units (LRUs), which helps decrease avionics weight and wiring complexity.
