With the FAA TAWS deadline of March 29, 2005, looming, Sandel Avionics (Booth 9343) is expanding its production capacity to meet the increased demand for its popular ST3400 Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS).
Installed on more than 30 turbine aircraft models, the ST3400 has recently received STCs for use on the Challenger 600/601/604. Certifications are in progress for other turbine aircraft, including the Gulfstream I, II and III, Beechjet 400, Jetstream 31 and 32, Embraer 120, Airbus A300 and Boeing 727. Sandel TAWS also have been finding homes in larger air transport aircraft, including Centurion Cargo's fleet of DC-10s and Atlas Air Cargo's Boeing 747 fleet.
"The versatility of the ST3400 has made it the perfect fit for aircraft ranging in size from King Airs and Citations all the way up to the 747," said Gerry Block, president and CEO of Sandel.
The 3-ATI sized unit incorporates a TAWS computer and a full-color display and is TSO'd to C151b Class A and B requirements. The ST3400 serves as a drop-in replacement for conventional RMI units, displaying terrain maps, topographic maps, navigation waypoint maps and TCAS data. The base ST3400 has a list price of $34,500 in Class A configuration and $20,950 in Class B configuration.
