Falcon CMS upgrade orchestrated by Alto and Clemens
The project introduced Alto’s Cadence CMS and a new Alto cabin audio system, delivering a modern, intuitive cabin experience designed to improve overall system simplicity and reliability.

Alto Aviation has successfully completed a comprehensive cabin management system (CMS) retrofit for a Falcon 900EX EASy, in partnership with Clemens Aviation, through the installation of Alto’s Cadence CMS and a new Alto cabin audio system.

As part of the upgrade, Wichita, Kansas-based Clemens installed a combination of Alto Cadence touchscreen and membrane-style controllers, replacing the aircraft’s previous CMS and IFE with a fully integrated solution. The installation included multiple customised Cadence touchscreen controllers with fit-compatible bezels, providing a seamless integration with the existing cabin interior.

The new cabin technology provides passengers with a more contemporary and flexible in-flight entertainment experience. HDMI connectivity and Bluetooth audio allow passengers to enjoy content from their own personal devices, while the redesigned cabin interface delivers intuitive control throughout the aircraft. The result is a clean, modern cabin environment designed to meet today’s passenger expectations.

The project also highlights the value of close collaboration between the two companies. “The partnership between Alto Aviation, a Heads Up Technologies company, and Clemens Aviation exemplifies the collaborative approach required to successfully execute complex cabin modernisation projects,” says Brandon Klisit, Alto Aviation senior technical sales manager. “By working together throughout every phase of the programme, we delivered an innovative cabin solution that provides long-term value for the operator and an elevated experience for passengers.”

“We greatly appreciate the dedication, responsiveness and attention to detail demonstrated by the entire Alto team throughout this project. Their willingness to collaborate, solve challenges and ensure every detail was executed correctly made them an outstanding partner,” adds Alex Clemens.
