More Coming Next Month
Cessna Aircraft Company has released Class A Terrain Awareness
and Warning System (TAWS) Service Bulletins for a broad spectrum of
the Citation fleet (525 Citation CJ Mark V and Mark VIII; 550
Citation Bravo Mark VII and VIII; 560 Citation Ultra Mark VIII; 550
Citation II Mark VIII; and 650 Citation VII). Service Bulletins for
Sandel Class A and Class B solutions will be available in
October.
The Cessna TAWS Service Bulletins provide the flight crew with
aural and visual alerts to unintended approach to terrain. By
incorporating airspeed attitude, crew response time, current flight
stage and many other factors, it provides additional crew
situational awareness. Ground Proximity Warning Systems (GPWS) are
being replaced with this new enhanced technology, which provides
all the functionality of the GPWS, with the addition of Premature
Descent Alerts (PDA) and Forward Looking Terrain Avoidance
(FLTA).
The FAA has issued its final report on the TAWS mandate, which
goes into effect March 29, 2005. The final rule differentiates two
classes of TAWS equipment:
- Class A systems, which apply to all Part 121 and 135 operations
with aircraft configured with at least 10 passenger seats.
- Class B systems, which apply to all Part 91 operators, for
aircraft having six or more passenger seats, and Part 135 operators
with six to nine passenger seats.
Cessna Service Bulletins are unmatched in the Aerospace
industry, with expert Citation Engineering support, installation
documentation, regulatory certification, and unsurpassed
post-installation support. The extensive experience and knowledge
base of Cessna's Worldwide Service Center Network ensures that TAWS
integrates seamlessly with your current Citation architecture,
enabling your aircraft to return to service quicker. The Cessna
TAWS Service Bulletins are available through Citation Parts
Distribution, the largest supplier of Citation OEM certified parts
in the world.
