ANAC validation builds on existing FAA, TCCA, and EASA STC approvals, further streamlining installation pathways for operators worldwide.

Tucson, Arizona – August 12, 2026 – Universal Avionics (Universal) announced today that Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its InSight^® integrated flight display system. This certification complements other STC approvals for InSight from the FAA, TCCA, and EASA.

With each new regional validation, Universal simplifies the upgrade process for airframe manufacturers and service centers supporting flight deck modernization worldwide. This specific Brazilian STC was issued for the Cessna Citation VII, introducing a new flight display system on the aircraft, complete with engine indication and complemented with Universal’s comprehensive flight management system (FMS).

As legacy CRT displays become increasingly expensive and difficult to maintain, the InSight display system offers aircraft operators a practical, cost-effective retrofit upgrade path:

Global Market Access: Regional STC validations make it easier for operators and MROs to schedule, install, and support retrofits around the world.
Cost-Efficient Modernization: Replaces obsolete displays and other equipment with modern systems, lowering high repair costs and shedding up to 200 lbs to increase useful payload.
Digital Airspace Ready: Integrates with onboard systems to support modern CPDLC datalink, LPV & RNP precision approaches, and wireless tablet integration for reduced crew workload.

"Expanding InSight’s regional approvals gives operators a straightforward, high-value way to modernize," said Dror Yahav, CEO of Universal Avionics. "InSight provides a proven digital flight deck solution that helps to resolve display obsolescence, enhances operational flexibility, and keeps valuable aircraft flying in modern airspace."

The InSight display system is available directly from Universal Avionics or through its global Authorized Dealer Network.
