Dassault Aviation plans to introduce Honeywell’s fourth-generation EASy IV flight deck across its Falcon 2000 EASy family, including the production 2000LXS business jet.

Dassault Aviation has announced it will introduce Honeywell’s fourth-generation EASy IV flight deck system across its Falcon 2000 EASy-series business jets, including the production Falcon 2000LXS. The upgrade will also be available as a retrofit for all Falcon 2000 EASy-series aircraft, extending the latest cockpit technology to Dassault’s best-selling business jet family.

In addition to faster processing power and crisper displays, EASy IV introduces several new capabilities, including:

2D and 3D airport maps
Enhanced Jeppesen chart functionality
A next-generation flight management system with Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approach capability

Dassault Aviation says adding the capabilities of EASy IV to its FalconEye combined vision system will enhance situational awareness and improve operational capability during low-visibility approaches. The award-winning FalconEye system incorporates a head-up display (HUD), synthetic vision, and enhanced vision technologies into a single interface.

The fourth-generation EASy IV flight deck offers faster processing power, crisper displays, 2D and 3D airport moving maps, new Jeppesen chart features, and more.

“Dassault has consistently upgraded the 2000 series to improve performance, capability, comfort, and connectivity,” says Dassault Aviation Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “This latest step keeps the flight deck at the leading edge and will keep the 2000 series a strong market competitor in the years ahead. It modernizes the existing fleet and enhances aircraft value.”

Common Avionics

Honeywell says the upgrade will establish a common avionics platform across the entire Dassault Falcon lineup, adding that for existing Falcon 2000 EASy operators, “the upgrade provides a pathway to modernize aircraft already in service while addressing avionics obsolescence and introducing new capabilities that align with the latest operational requirements.” The upgrade targets one of Dassault's most successful aircraft families.

Dassault has produced more than 700 Falcon 2000-series aircraft since the platform entered service in 1995. The 2000LXS, launched in 2012 as a replacement for the 2000LX, offers a 4,000-nautical-mile (7,408-kilometer) flight range, a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.86, and a maximum certified altitude of 47,000 feet (14,326 meters). Its large-body cabin is 7.8 ft (2.37 m) wide and features 18 large windows, advanced soundproofing, and the FalconConnect system for high-speed internet and voice calls.

Dassault Aviation’s current lineup also includes the all-new, ultra-long-range Falcon 10X (7,500 nm; 13,890 km), the ultra-long-range Falcon 8X (6,450 nm; 11,945 km), and the extra-wide-body Falcon 6X (5,500 nm; 10,186 km).
