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.
