  • Avionics LRU integration

AS9100D manufacturing and FAA Part 145 repair support for OEM line-fit, retrofit, and fleet modernization programs.

Overview

Polytronix manufactures AS9100D-certified cockpit displays, panel assemblies, standby instruments, cabin management interfaces, electro-mechanical cockpit LRUs, retrofit STC interconnect harnesses, cabin management and lighting control PCBAs, and complete box-build avionics units for business jets, turboprops, and general aviation aircraft. Designed to enhance flight safety, efficiency, and passenger comfort, our business and general aviation solutions support OEM line-fit programs, Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) retrofit upgrades, panel refresh programs, and operator-driven flight deck modernization.

We replace legacy cathode-ray-tube (CRT) displays with high-resolution liquid crystal displays (LCDs), refresh aging analog instrumentation with digital flight displays, and integrate connected avionics suites, situational awareness, precision navigation, datalinks, ADS-B, traffic and weather radar, advanced sensors, and enhanced vision into new aircraft and legacy airframes.

We deliver sunlight-readable ruggedized LCDs, optically bonded cockpit displays, backlit instrument panels and bezels per MIL-DTL-7788 and QPL-7788 form factor, multi-function display modules, standby instrument displays, electronic standby indicator (ESI) assemblies, cabin management system (CMS) interfaces, and complete electro-mechanical panel assemblies. Display modules are environmentally aligned to MIL-DTL-7788 profiles and DO-160 test procedures to support the temperature, humidity, vibration, and altitude cycles characteristic of business jet and general aviation operations.

Internal wiring is built under IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2/3 with MIL-DTL-38999 and rectangular ARINC connectors, coaxial and RF assemblies for navigation, communications, and ADS-B, supporting both new-installation programs and STC retrofit kits. Polytronix delivers build-to-spec, design-collaborative, and reverse-engineered retrofit solutions under serialized configuration control with full FAA documentation, AS9100D quality, and ITAR-controlled production where applicable.

Business Aviation Capabilities

Relevant Applications

Business jet cockpit displays

Primary flight displays, multi-function displays, standby instruments, and engine indication displays for business jets and turboprop platforms, supplied as new-build, line-fit, and STC retrofit configurations with full FAA documentation.

General aviation panel upgrades

Glass cockpit retrofit kits, panel refresh installations, and avionics integration upgrades for general aviation aircraft, including replacement of analog instrumentation with digital LCD displays and integrated avionics suites.

Standby flight instruments

Standalone electronic standby flight instruments integrate attitude, airspeed, altitude, and heading on a single ruggedized LCD module with optical bonding and MIL-DTL-7788-aligned ruggedization for sustained backup operation.

Cabin management displays

Passenger cabin control panels, in-flight entertainment displays, lighting and environmental control interfaces, and crew rest panels integrated as build-to-print assemblies for cabin OEM and completion-center programs.

Retrofit display solutions

Plug-and-play LCD retrofit kits replace legacy CRT displays and analog instrumentation, supporting Service Bulletin and STC-driven cockpit modernization across business jet, turboprop, and general aviation fleets.

ADS-B, navigators, and connected avionics
