Boeing 757 and 767 pilots at United Parcel Service (UPS) will soon start using a flight-deck display that will likely be the envy of their airline and corporate cousins and one that is expected to become a future aviation standard.
The large, EFIS-like unit–dubbed cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI)–and located in the center panel just forward of the thrust-lever console, will be installed in all 103 UPS Boeings by year-end. The CDTI will simultaneously display the locations of all TCAS-equipped aircraft in the vicinity–in addition to any related traffic and resolution advisories (TAs and RAs), and the locations of all ADS-B-equipped aircraft, with each displayed target showing its relative track and altitude and whether it is climbing or descending. The display screen can also be uncluttered by selecting only targets within a certain range.
