An interesting article on page 10 of this weeks Flight International. "CMC secures 747 cockpit customers".

It appears Saudi, Corsair and Dragonair are quoted as customers for the Boeing 747 Classic cockpit upgrade it pioneered with KLM.

The upgrade (mentioned in earlier posts) extends the life of the Classics through the addition of communications, navigation and CNS/ATM. All the aircraft will use CMC's CMA-900 FMS, which features a colour liquid crystal multifunction display and a 12-channel GPS sensor to provide GPS-based navigation and oceanic/remote area operations capability.

All good news it appears for those moving from glass to analogue with reservations.
