British Airways accepts

first SupraPan180  update

Q4 Services has successfully upgraded the display systems installed on the British Airways 747-400 and converted the existing Wide Projectors to the new SupraPan standard and simultaneously increased the Field of view from 150 to 180

Combining the SupraPan projector update,  150 to 180 Field of View expansion simultaneously with the mirror program allowed BA to minimize costly downtime and alleviate potential training backlog.

This update for the first time allows the standard WIDE projectors to meet and exceed the latest JAR level D and MPL certification standards for 180 degree field of View  while maintaining commonality with existing projector systems and Image Generators.

Ralph Baker  said :
 

I wanted to thank Q4 for an excellent job last week on our B747#4 simulator.

The conversion to the SuperPan tubes maintaining the 180 degrees and the re skin of the mirror has been completed in a professional manner and I am happy to report that the sim has passed its flight test and is now in service on schedule.


Thanks again

Regards

Ralph
