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.
