New LCD Displays

• •The new displays bring the LCD technology into the Legacy 600 cockpit, providing several advantages when compared
  to previous generation Cathode Ray Tube (CRT):
  • •Reduced weight, greater MTBF and better contrast when sunlight illuminates the cockpit;
  • •Provide the basic architecture and capabilities required by new features such as charts, maps and weather uplink, which present additional information for increased safety and situational awareness.

Charts and Maps Capability*

• •Jeppesen airport maps and charts with SIDs, STARs, NOTAMs and Noise procedures may now be presented on the MFD.
• •Linked with FMS flight plan to provide easy “chart” linking and “airport” linking
• •Dual architecture provides the required redundancy to support paperless operation.
• *Service subscription is required and should be obtained separately.

Coupled VNAV

• •VNAV (Vertical Navigation) provides the aircraft with the ability to fly vertical profiles calculated by the FMS based on pre-programmed flight plans.
• •Flight profile will reflect speed and altitude restrictions specified in the flight plan, always observing airplane operating limits.
• •VNAV comes as an additional vertical mode, providing guidance commands for the Autopilot or Flight Director.

LPV WAAS

• •WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) is an air navigation aid developed by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to augment Global Positioning System (GPS) by improving its accuracy, integrity and availability.
• •LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance) approaches use WAAS signal to enable ILS like approaches in airports without ILS infrastructure. These approaches will allow minimums as low as 200ft AGL before a missed approach must be executed, increasing safety and the chances of accomplishing a mission in poor weather conditions.
• •About 1,515 LPV WAAS procedures were already published by March 2009.
• •Besides, FAA plans on adding 300 additional approaches every year.

RNP 0.3

• •RNP (Required Navigation Performance) is a key component of the FAA’s next-generation performance-based navigation system. It utilizes global positioning and inertial reference system navigation, allowing aircraft to fly predetermined paths loaded in their flight management computers.
• •Benefits:
  • •Better access to terrain challenged airports and to special use airspace
  • •Enables parallel runway, converging and adjacent airport operations
  • •Improved access to business airports in proximity to high traffic airports
  • •Lower Minima resulting in fewer weather-related delays, and diversions
  • •Reduced flight time due to optimized routing
  • •Smaller environmental footprint due to reduced noise and fuel use
  • •Enables early, guided turns on missed approach
  • •More reliable, repeatable flight paths
• RNP requires aircraft properly equipped, RNP approaches and operational approval.

CPDLC FANS 1/A

• •CPDLC (Controller Pilot Datalink Communication) is a method by which air traffic controllers can communicate with pilots over a datalink system, supplementing regular voice communication channel.
• •The application provides air-ground data communication for ATC services through the use of a set of clearance/information/request message elements which correspond to voice phraseology commonly employed by Air Traffic Control procedures.
• •CPDLC helps reducing congestion in VHF voice communication and is one of the key technologies to be introduced into the ATC process to meet growing air traffic.
• •Mandates:
  • •Eurocontrol: 2011 forward fit and 2014 for retrofit;
  • •FAA schedule: FAA National Deployment is on hold.

RAAS – Honeywell SmartRunway and Smart Landing

• •Honeywell's RAAS (Runway Awareness and Advisory System) provides improved situational awareness to help lower the probability of runway unintended incursions by providing timely aural advisories to the flight crew during taxi, takeoff, final approach, landing and rollout.
• •Using GPS data, RAAS issues aural advisories based on aircraft position when compared to airport locations stored in the EGPWS Runway Database.
• •RAAS benefits:

Moving Map with XM Uplink Weather (US only)*

• •Uplink Wx displayed on geopolitical background
• •FMS flight plan map
• •Navigation aids (VORs, airways, intersections, airports)
• •XM receiver provides streaming data for Wx displays
  • •NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar), Winds, Clear Air Turbulence (CAT), Echo Tops, Storm Cell IDs, Satellite mosaic, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, TFRs, Conus coverage map
  • •Multiple concurrent display formats
  • •Replay of NEXRAD with Winds, CAT, Satellite mosaic
• *Weather datalink service subscription is required and should be obtained separately.

Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)

• •EFB Class 2, state-of-the-art system
• •Paperless environment
• •32Gb internal memory
• •Charts and airport moving map
• •Optimized performance calculation
• •Touch screen capable
