HBS Completes Engineering On Beechcraft 1900D Upgrade

First Installation Underway, Second Set For July

Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) said Wednesday that engineering is complete for the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Integrated Display System (IDS) upgrade on Beechcraft 1900D aircraft. The company's first article installation is well underway at its Wichita service center, with a second installation scheduled to begin in July. First article completion and system certification is expected over the summer. With a number of 1900 operators expressing interest in IDS, HBS is establishing the infrastructure to support both domestic and international customers.
 
"The combination of safety, reliability and reduced operating costs provide Beechcraft 1900 operators with an excellent option to upgrade their cockpits and provide a path for future growth," said Christi Tannahill, HBC vice president, Global Customer Support.
 
The HBS upgrade achieves outstanding safety and reliability improvements by replacing legacy flight display, altimetry and attitude reference equipment with airline proven Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 video capable Adaptive Flight Displays, dual Attitude Heading Reference Systems, dual Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum, compliant Air Data Computers and a robust, electronic Engine Indication System.

The system's Pro Line 21 new equipment warranty will be paired with a two-year Rockwell Collins warranty known as Corporate Aircraft Service Program (CASP). At no additional cost, CASP supplements the system's new equipment warranty by covering all previously installed Rockwell Collins avionics equipment. Aircraft undergoing this HBS-installed upgrade will incur virtually zero avionics operating costs during the first two years after installation.
 
The Pro Line 21 IDS is capable of interfacing with existing and future technology and regulatory requirements. Common interface options include third party TCAS, TAWS and lightning detection systems, as well as Rockwell Collins APS-65 autopilot and WAAS/LPV compliant flight management systems such as Garmin's GNS 400W and Universal's UNS1-LW.
