WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, OHIO (September 22, 2000) - An overview of new "Glass Cockpit" technologies on a C-141C Starlifter aircraft from the 89th Airlift Squadron (USAFR), Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. More than sixty aircraft in the current C-141 fleet will undergo major modification. Each will receive the All Weather Flight Control System (AWFCS) consisting of a digital autopilot, advanced avionics display, and Ground Collision Avoidance System (GCAS). Other major improvements include a Defensive Systems (DS), Fuel Quantity Indicating System, and GPS modifications. The display units seen in front of each pilot are the Display Avionics Maintenance Unit (two green screens on top), Display Units (two large color screens in front of steering yoke), Multi-Function Stand-by Indicator (MFSI, the small color screen, right of the two left DUs), Traffic Collision Avoidance System (below MFSI), and the Flight Management System (green screen on lower panel inboard and adjacent to each seat).
