Upgrade Program
AstroNova’s flight deck printer upgrade program provides increased reliability and significant cost savings for any aircraft operator through utilizing the most advanced airborne printer technology on the market.
The AstroNova® Cockpit Printer Upgrade Program provides:
- Drop-in replacement for the existing printer
- Trade-in value for the existing flight deck printer
- Required paperwork (Supplemental Type Certification, Service Letter or Service Bulletin) for installation of the replacement printer
Built to withstand the rigors of the flight deck, our airborne printers are remarkably lightweight, lowering fuel costs, your highest variable expense.
Upgrade programs are available for both half-width and full-width flight deck printers for B737NG, A320CEO and most popular commercial aircraft.
