First 767 Integrated IS&S EICAS and FPDS Upgrade Completed by GoAeroMx

GoAeroMx announced the successful installation of the Innovative Solutions and Support (IS&S) Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) add-on to the Flat Panel Display System (FPDS) on a Boeing 767-300 series aircraft.

This marks a continued flight deck modernization strategy for legacy Boeing 757 and 767 operators, offering enhanced engine performance monitoring, fault detection and crew alerting afforded by the EICAS system on a fifth common part number Display Unit (DU).

"This installation represents a significant step forward in our ongoing mission to bring modern aviation solutions to legacy aircraft in the fleet," said Neil Sparkman, vice president – Technical Operations at GoAeroMx.

Sparkman added, "With EICAS on the B767 and the B757, operators now have a fully integrated and modernized flight deck to take the aircraft to the end of life (EOL), while at the same time improving situational awareness and reducing crew workload."

The EICAS upgrade complements the existing FPDS architecture by replacing the two legacy EICAS displays with a standardized display unit used for monitoring and alerting functions.

The new configuration eliminates both of the CRT-based displays and adds a single LCD display. Operators benefit from real-time engine data and alert monitoring that delivers OEM-equivalent confidence and reliability.

The EICAS system update can be installed during or after the FPDS retrofit with minimal disruption to aircraft operations and reduced out-of-service time. In addition, the system has been approved for B-Level pilot training as part of the STC, minimizing the training burden for flight crews.

This upgrade offers a cost-effective and operationally efficient solution for operators seeking to eliminate obsolescence and extend the lifecycle and value of their Boeing 757 and 767 fleets.
