Collins Aerospace has announced enhancements to its avionics systems for Beechcraft and Hawker aircraft. The upgrades apply to the Pro Line 21 and Pro Line Fusion systems, used in Beechcraft King Air variants and several Hawker aircraft. These improvements include performance system changes and new safety features.
Nathan Voight, Vice President and General Manager of Business and Regional Avionics at Collins Aerospace, commented on the updates: "Collins' flight deck modernization program provides pilots with the intuitive and responsive flight deck performance needed to operate in ever-evolving and complex global airspaces. The Pro Line updates were designed with the end user in mind, focusing on advanced functionality to make flight simpler, safer, and more connected."
A significant update allows Beechcraft King Air 200 and 300 aircraft to transition from the Pro Line 21 system to the Pro Line Fusion flight deck. For those already using the Pro Line Fusion system, upgrades include touchscreen displays, communication tools, integrated synthetic vision, and simplified flight planning. These features aim to reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness.
