Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC; Hall 1 Stand B60) announced key wins here at Farnborough for its CMA-9000 Flight Management System (FMS). Leading off, the FMS has been certified by EASA on the Airbus A300-600, having received a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) last month. The STC results from a contract signed last year with an undisclosed European cargo airline to upgrade the legacy FMSs on its fleet of 21 A300-600 jets.

The STC’d installation consists of dual CMA-9000 FMSs, and will allow “unrestricted operation of the A300-600 fleet for the foreseeable future,” said Michel Potvin, president, Esterline Avionics Systems. Deliveries of the units began early this year and will conclude by August. The upgraded fleet will comply with the forecasted FAA and ICAO standards for the Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system.
