Hi
According to this source the first RAF TRISTAR is starting the avionics upgrade by Marshall Aerospace.
http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...s-upgrade.html
This will include according to the Marshall site:
"The Navigation system consists of a triple Flight Management System (FMS), Triple Inertial Reference Systems, Dual Nav 4000 VOR/ILS/ADF, DME 4000 and the GPS provides the source information for the Lateral Navigation modes.
The Flight Deck Display System (FDS) uses five 6x8 inch Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays (AMLCD). The Engine Instruments and Engine Pressure Ratio Indicator are displayed on the centrally mounted display.
An AMLCD Integrated Standby Instrument System provides attitude, altitude, speed and heading information.
Dual VHF 4000 radios provide communications and ACARS Datalink capability. Dual RTU 4200 radio tuning systems control the navigation and communications systems in parallel with the FMS.
Finally, with the recently installed IFF, TCAS and EGPWS, the system complies with CNS/ATM regulations and provides RNP1 capability."
My question is, will it be possible for a civilian or private Tristar to get this same upgrade?.
