In particular, instead of flight, navigation and sighting complex K-II-76 established “Kupol-III-76M-VD” shown on two multifunction liquid crystal display. Use PS-90A-76 is allowed to increase the capacity of the machine to 2 t, the height of the airfield up to 3000 m above sea level and a range of almost 1,000 km.
The first aircraft variant of the Il-76TD-90VD modernised in 2005 by request of airline “Volga — Dnepr” and two years after seven-year hiatus, resumed flights abroad.
