321 Falcon Aircraft Operating With EASy Flight Deck
Dassault Falcon recently delivered
the 100th Falcon 900EX EASy aircraft into service. As of
September 30, 2009, the 4,500 nm Falcon 900EX EASy fleet had
performed over 80,000 takeoffs and landings and accrued 157,000
flight hours. Powered by three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines,
the Falcon 900EX EASy is a category leader in both airport
performance and fuel efficiency.
The 900EX EASy was certificated in December 2003 and features
the award winning EASy flight deck. Today, there are 321
Falcon aircraft in operation with the EASy flight deck,
“Efficiency has long been an important focus for us,”
said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon.
“We believe the EASy flight deck offers the most efficient
and safe way to manage cockpit resources. The Falcon aircraft
operating with the EASy flight deck are a strong testament to the
intrinsic advantages of our program.”

The latest iteration of the EASy flight deck – EASy II
– will include new options that further enhance crew
situational awareness and aircraft operational safety. These
features include a synthetic vision system, the Runway Awareness
and Advisory System (RAAS), an optional Automatic Descent Mode, XM
Graphical Weather, Required Navigation Performance – Special
Aircraft Aircrew Authorization Required (RNPSAAAR) >0.1, and
WAAS LPV.
EASy II Display
The EASy flight deck was originally developed around
Honeywell’s Primus Epic system in the mid-1990s in an effort
to create a fully integrated cockpit management system and to
foster improved situational awareness. Its “T”-shaped
configuration of four 14.1-inch LCD screens has many benefits for
the crew. Tactical information needed to fly the aircraft is
displayed in front of each pilot on their own primary display unit.
Strategic information, such as navigational functions and
checklists, are shared on the two vertically-stacked centrally
located multifunction display units, to ensure the flight crew
works in tandem and facilitating safety as each sees the
other’s inputs.
