ScioTeq proudly marks a major milestone as the 7000th unit of our highly successful Flight Display Unit (FDU) product line rolls off the production line. The FDU is a key instrument in the cockpit providing critical flight information to the pilot such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and heading. It also acts as a navigational display and indicates engine performance and data, including warnings for any faults or malfunctions. In general, it improves the pilot’s situational awareness, reduces pilot workload, and enhances safety. Since receiving its initial C113 ETSO/TSO certification in August 2007 for a (DAL A) PFD – video display, the ScioTeq FDU quickly became a benchmark in business aviation, prominently featured in the Honeywell APEX cockpit.

With its exceptional SWaP-C profile (1.8” deep, 3.5 lbs., 16W) and industry-leading optical performance, the FDU has been a favorite among integrators and pilots alike. ScioTeq’s (should it state their or our) commitment to “design-for-reliability” is evidenced through its FDU with a stellar field-MTBF, calculated on an accumulated flight hour number of over 20,000,000 across the installed base. 

Our industry leading reliability testing and quality assurance program, including the use of the HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening) process, ensures all products perform outstandingly in the field. Robust industry quality manufacturing standards, rigorous reliability testing, and comprehensive quality assurance programs such as ScioTeq’s, are what set world-class manufacturers and their products apart from mediocre ones.

This milestone celebrates the remarkable journey of a product that has set the standard in commercial aviation, reinforcing ScioTeq’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge avionics solutions.
