Lufthansa to Equip 175 to 400 Jetliners with AlliedSignal GPWS
AlliedSignal Aerospace will supply 175 Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning
Systems to Lufthansa as part of a 10-year contract. The order could grow
to 400 aircraft, as Lufthansa expands its fleet and if the carrier fits
all the aircraft of its subsidiary, feeder airlines with the system. E-GPWS
has a terrain database that enables the unit to provide graphic and audible
warnings of controlled flight into terrain, well before a conventional GPWS
reacts to radio and pressure altitude rate. The U.S. FAA has certified the
AlliedSignal E-GPWS for installation on all seven types of airliners operated
by American Airlines, the manufacturer reports. | ||||||
