For the last year, Cabin Management Solutions (CMS) has been extremely busy.

Duncan Aviation has completed an avionics and interior upgrade on a Falcon 900EX EASy at its Battle Creek, Michigan, facility. It delivered the aircraft with a modernized cabin, fresh paint, and an upgrade to Cabin Management Solutions’ (CMS) Empire 4K monitors.
“Partnering with Duncan Aviation on this Falcon 900EX upgrade is an exciting milestone,” said Troy Michaels, president and managing partner of CMS. “This aircraft holds special significance for us, as it was the first to feature our Explore controls in 2021. Upgrading it with our Empire system elevates the in-flight experience to match advanced home-theatre setups.”
The new owners prioritized audio performance and seamless video integration. According to Duncan senior avionics sales representative Mike Morgan, the goal was to deliver “more volume, more bass, and a sleeker look.” The team installed CMS’ modular Evolve system, including the Elevate HD sound system, Empire 4K UHD monitors, and an input panel supporting HDMI, USB-C, and Bluetooth.
Flush-mounted monitors were added to both cabins, capable of displaying either synchronized or independent content. Two new amplifiers significantly enhanced audio output. The Evolve moving map includes 3D topography and a custom rendering of the aircraft’s exterior livery.
Duncan Aviation also installed Gogo’s Plane Simple Ku-band satcom for broadband connectivity. The aircraft’s director of maintenance confirmed a smooth return flight and praised the team’s work, adding that the owners “love it."
