Duncan Installs Server On Falcon 900B

Lincoln, Neb.-based Duncan Aviation has equipped a Dassault Falcon 900B with Honeywell’s advanced file graphics server (AFGS). Part of its Glass Box Project, the Falcon 900B received a 4-display major panel upgrade that will allow various features, including electronic charts, uplinked weather and mass data storage. By the end of the year, Duncan plans to obtain certification for the retrofit program on 14 business jets. So far, the company has installed the AFGS update on a Gulfstream III, Hawker 800A and Hawker 1000, in addition to the Falcon 900B.
