SPAES upgrades a cockpit from analog to digital with PT Indonesia Defence Services
SPAES carried out a glass cockpit project for their customer PT Indonesia Defence Services. Analog gauges were removed and several Garmin systems were installed, allowing the crew to execute a wider range of missions and significantly improving situational awareness.
An existing Supplement Type Certificate for the Garmin G500 system was used as a basis to create several Minor Changes for the installation of Garmin GTN 650/750, GTX 335R, GMA 350, GRA 55 RAD-ALT, GTS 800, GSR56H and for L3 ESI-500.
The installation of the systems was done by PT Indonesia Defence Services in their own maintenance organisation. The preparation of the documentation and the supervision was successfully completed from Germany. Commissioning and troubleshooting of the systems were carried out on site in Jakarta. In the end, the certification was issued and the documentation was delivered.
On top, 10 technicians and 20 pilots of PT Indonesia Defence Services were trained by SPAES in order to strengthen the understanding of the newly installed Garmin systems.
In a similar manner, six additional helicopters of the customer will be upgraded and transformed from analog to digital.
SPAES is the right partner for all kinds of modifications in and around the cockpit.
