Type-Designed For Part 25 Business Jets, Air Transport Category Aircraft
Hilton Software LLC has announced support for DAC International’s new GDC64. The GDC64 is a type-designed approved product, certified for use on Part 25 business jets and air transport category aircraft. It is approved for connection to any of the aircraft’s +28 volt power busses and with four ARINC 429 input ports, the GDC64 can provide a wealth of information to WingX Pro7 including navigation, aircraft and air data information. In addition to the Bombardier Learjet 60 model, DAC International recently received European approval for the GDC64 on the Bombardier Dash-8.
“Over the last few months we have worked closely with Hilton Software and are thrilled to announce WingX Pro7’s full compatibility with our certified GDC64” said Francisco Hernandez General Manager of DAC International. “This new integration will enable pilots and operators direct access to an incredible amount of aircraft configuration and flight data and to have critical information displayed within WingX Pro7’s advanced moving map.”
Dr. Hilton Goldstein, founder of Hilton Software LLC added “WingX Pro7 is well-known to be the iPad aviation app with the most comprehensive hardware support. Most recently we added support for approved hardware including FreeFlight Systems’ XPLORER, NavWorx’s ADS600-B ADS-B In/Out transceiver, and the Aero 454 that integrates with Garmin’s G1000, G900, GNS750, GNS650, 530, 430, and the KLN89B, KLN90, and KLN94. Consistent with our push into the Airline and Military markets, and as a result of our close collaboration with DAC International, WingX Pro7 can now access and integrate the tremendous amount of data on the industry-standard ARINC 429 bus.”
The ARCINC 429 Digital Information Transfer System (DITS) is in widespread use on Boeing, Airbus, and Regional Jets and is the data transfer system for various equipment types including avionics, flight management systems, inertial reference systems, air data computers, radar altimeters, and GPS receivers.
WingX Pro7 with GDC64 support will be available in the App Store later this year.
