TopDeck, the smart cockpit
Thales has designed its TopDeck® advanced avionics suite specifically for helicopters. TopDeck® draws on all the latest technologies mastered by Thales in the avionics world.
TopDeck® features an unprecedented level of integration and intuitive interactive capabilities through innovative cursor control devices.
Its advanced features such as synthetic vision or interactive flight management will change the way you fly.

· A comprehensive avionics suite
- Flight and navigation displays
- Integrated Avionics
- Integrated Maintenance
- Engine and Vehicle Control
- Automatic Flight Control
- Radio Communication and Navigation
- Flight/Mission Management and Digital Map

· Decreasing pilot workload
Whereas other avionics require the complex use of rocker switches, push buttons and potentiometers, TopDeck® features an intuitive, easy-to-use Man-Machine Interface.
The widespread interactivity function, using innovative cursor control devices and virtual control panels gives the pilot straightforward access to critical functions:
- Navigation (Flight plan creation and revisions onto the Digital Map)
