Installation Slated For Airline's Growing B-777 Fleet
Ethiopian Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide the full suite of avionics equipment for its new and growing fleet of Boeing 777s, which currently includes 10 aircraft. The selection includes Rockwell Collins’ MultiScan Threat Detection System, GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS II) and SATCOM.
Rockwell Collins’ MultiScan Threat Detection System is a fully automatic airborne weather radar system that combines the latest weather science with advanced engineering concepts to identify and analyze thunderstorm cells, and display weather threats. The end result is fewer flight diversions, which leads to lower fuel burn, and greater passenger comfort due to minimizing unexpected turbulent encounters.
Rockwell Collins’ GLU-925 MMR enables airlines and operators to take advantage of evolving Required Navigation Performance (RNP)/Area Navigation (RNAV) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) capabilities. The GLU-925 fulfills the requirements for aircraft navigation position source, Category III Instrument Landing System (ILS), Category I Global Positioning Landing System (GLS), accessing RNP/RNAV airspace (down to RNP Authorization Required 0.1), and meets the GPS position and availability requirements for ADS-B Out mandates.
The TTR-2100 TCAS II system assists pilots by providing airborne situational awareness of surrounding traffic and with the inclusion of ADS-B In applications, airlines will experience greater situational awareness to visually identify nearby traffic, thus improving safety.
For SATCOM, Ethiopian Airlines selected Rockwell Collins’ SAT-2200 and -2100 systems, which allows airline crews to maintain communications during all phases of flight without pilot intervention. The systems are compliant with the latest industry standard for Inmarsat SATCOM capability for classic Aeronautical operation.
