Alto Aviation has expanded its cabin management system offering with a Cadence cabin management system (CMS) retrofit solution specifically engineered for the Gulfstream G200 aircraft equipped with an obsolete Honeywell or Collins CMS.

This solution provides fit-compatible replacement switch panels at all locations except the VIP seat and the galley locations. The cutouts at these two locations will need to be trimmed out slightly to support the additional features required for these master switch panels.

To follow Alto's 'Keep it Simple' approach, headphone audio is removed to make space for optional USB type A or type C charging ports. A Bluetooth audio receiver is available to replace existing CD/DVD source equipment. An additional option is available to replace the existing NTSC aux panels with HDMI aux ports to interface with new HD bulkhead monitors.

"We are very pleased to serve our MRO customers by introducing this simple and effective upgrade solution designed to solve CMS obsolescence in the Gulfstream G200 aircraft. Cadence switch panels offer a practical CMS solution without any performance compromise and an unrivalled price point. Our authorised installers do a great job, and the installations are fast, with seamless results, easily bringing new cabin control life to this great aircraft," says Steve Lord, senior technical sales manager.
