Primus Epic retrofit brings latest tech to older panels
Honeywell is on the verge of gaining FAA certification approval for retrofit versions of its Primus Epic integrated avionics suite.

Honeywell is on the verge of gaining FAA certification approval for retrofit versions of its Primus Epic integrated avionics suite. Targeting older medium and heavy business jets, Primus Epic CDS/R (control display system/retrofit) has been developed to transform steam-gauge-driven dinosaurs into state-of-the-art hot rods capable of meeting airspace operating requirements for the next decade or more.

Certifications in the Gulfstream II and III, Citation V and Lockheed L-382 civil Hercules are expected by the middle of the month, with additional airplanes, such as the Challenger 604 with a four-display layout, to follow in the near future.
