Includes MultiScan Hazard Detection, Multi-Mode Receiver
Hainan Airlines has selected
Rockwell Collins to provide a comprehensive package of
communication, navigation and surveillance avionics for 13 new
Airbus A320 aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in
2010.
"A strong relationship with Hainan Airlines, teamwork across our
enterprise and Rockwell Collins track record in providing proven
avionics solutions all contributed to this win," said Jeff
Standerski, vice president and general manager of Air Transport for
Rockwell Collins. "Hainan Airlines' commitment to providing
passengers with the highest level of safety and service will be
further enhanced with the communication, navigation and
surveillance avionics we're providing for their new aircrafts."
Rockwell Collins' MultiScan Hazard Detection System is among the
avionics selected by Hainan Airlines. The MultiScan system is the
first and only radar that analyzes and determines actual weather
hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content.
The MultiScan system is derived from extensive operational
experience to create a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar
system that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and
passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters,
and provides optimal clutter-free weather displays.
Other equipment chosen by Hainan Airlines includes the GLU-920
Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), an integrated unit that provides the
aircraft's primary position, velocity and time reference, and
enables precision landing capability.
Rockwell Collins' ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900
Distance Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Frequency Data Radio,
CPL-920D Coupling Unit, VHF-920 Very High Frequency Transceiver,
and VOR-900 VHF Omnidirectional Range receiver also have been
selected.
