CMA-6800 Display – The LCD Solution to Replace Aging CRT Displays

6.5” Display Head Assembly

The CMA-6800 is a certified, form-fit-function LCD replacement for legacy Honeywell ED-800 CRT displays, designed primarily for Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) applications as an Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI) and Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI). Multi-Function Display (MFD) capability is also available on select platforms.

Designed for minimal disruption, the CMA-6800 provides a modern, low-risk upgrade path for aging cockpit display systems, enabling operators to extend platform life while improving reliability, reducing maintenance, and eliminating CRT obsolescence risk.

Modern LCD Replacement for Legacy CRT Displays

The CMA-6800 replaces aging CRT-based ED-800 displays with a modern AMLCD solution using LED backlighting, while preserving existing cockpit functionality and operational behaviour.  The CMA-6800 is engineered to ensure transparent cockpit integration, requiring no aircrew re-training and minimal operational change.  The CMA-6800 is designed to meet stringent aviation certification requirements for retrofit and replacement programs and is certified to:

  • TSO-C113a – Airborne Multipurpose Electronic Displays

The CMA-6800 AMLCD display is designed to replicate existing functionality while introducing modern LCD technology to improve reliability and long-term sustainability.

  • Greatly reduced maintenance costs through high MTBF
  • Reduced weight and power consumption versus legacy CRT units
  • Transparent cockpit operation – zero aircrew re-training required
  • Eliminates obsolescence risk associated with CRT technology
  • Built-in provisions for future I/O and processor growth
  • Available in black or gray bezel configurations
