L-3 Avionics Systems
products have been helping pilots fly safely for more than 45
years. The company has transitioned from supplying niche avionics
instruments to providing completely integrated cockpit solutions.
The company's SmartDeck® Integrated Flight Controls and Display
System is a premium, next-generation glass panel suite that
features a revolutionary user interface designed to make flying
safer, easier and more enjoyable.
In addition to customizing SmartDeck for upcoming aircraft
programs, L-3 Avionics provides a wide array of avionics
technologies, such as the GH-3000 electronic and J.E.T.®
standby instruments, SkyWatch® collision avoidance system and
Stormscope® lightning detection system.
Founded in 1962, the Grand Rapids, Michigan based company began
as a producer of standby attitude indicators, a role on which the
company has built and expanded to include a wide array of advanced
systems. Today, products such as the GH series of Electronic
Standby Instrument Systems can be found on many of the industry's
best-selling aircraft, while safety technologies, such as the
SkyWatch collision avoidance system and the Stormscope lightning
detection system are familiar safety aides on aircraft
worldwide.
The SmartDeck glass panel system combines next-generation glass
cockpit avionics with important situational awareness tools to help
make every flight a safe one. It was created with a
"three-clicks-or-less" design philosophy that makes flying easier
and puts important flight information in a readily accessible
location.
Because the system was built upon human factors research, it's
user friendly and is billed by L-3 as the easiest system to fly.
Whether you're following an approach on SmartDeck's Jeppview
electronic charts, monitoring a rough running engine on the RPM
trend indicator or amending a flight plan on the Center Console
Unit - our standard third digital display - SmartDeck gives you the
information you need, when you need it. The system's intuitiveness
builds pilot confidence and drives safety.
Committed customer support and a global repair network ensure
our customers are taken care of no matter where they are. Our focus
on support and long-term product quality are what make L-3 a leader
in avionics technology.
