The Information Management On-board solution?a new airborne hosting
platform for flight operations, aircraft mainenance and airline
applications
-
The communication system, which consolidates five separate packages
into one, ensures management of the aircraft's voice and data
communications between pilots, flight crew, controllers and the airline
-
The Multi-Mode Receiver provides Instrument Landing System, GPS
Landing System and Space Based Augmentation System capabilities, as
well as the aircraft's position, velocity and time reference
-
The Digital Low Range Altimeter (DLRA), the first digital radio
altimeter for commercial aircraft, provides precise height
measurements above terrain during aircraft approach, landing and
climb-out phases of flight
Rockwell Collins is also providing the avionics data network, the
trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator and later, the rudder/brake
pedal assembly.
