MD-80 Series
EFIS was optional on the 83 when it came out in '83. It's a heavyweight '82 with -219 engines vs -217.
The different designations define engines, length, etc., and not flight deck. The MD-88 was the exception, built for Delta, and later sold to others as well.
That Honeywell EFIS is now ancient, and was never inexpensive to maintain. Has anyone certified a retrofit?
