No Vacuum for Continuum Avionics
as Eighth Bizjet Added to Retrofit List
 |
| Fully integrated Pro Line 21 Continuum avionics
are certified on the Falcon 20. |
The Challenger 601, Falcon 20 and Falcon 50 bring to three the number
of bizjet models that can be retrofitted with a full Continuum glass
cockpit. "Replacing previous generation cockpits with what you
expect in brand new off-the-line aircraft has gone over very well,"
said Evans. The first Challenger 601 with full retrofit is Collins'
own executive aircraft.
"We did it for our CEO, showed it to a potential customer
and they wanted to buy it on the spot," said Wu. Standalone
elements of the Pro Line 21 avionics range are certified for retrofit
in the Citation III, Gulfstream II/IIb and III and Challenger 600
aircraft. Operators can choose integrated or individual products,
including LCD displays, data communications, and advanced flight
management and hazard warning capabilities.
