flydubai selects Rockwell Collins to provide avionics for Boeing fleet

Low-cost airline flydubai has selected Rockwell Collins, a US-based provider of communications and aviation electronics, to provide avionics and a data link communication system for its fleet of 54 Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft.

The solution reportedly includes Head-Up Guidance System, MultiScan hazard detection system and sensors, as well as Hermes 2100 Ground Data Link system.

Rockwell Collins has said that its HGS-4000 system features manual guidance to touchdown allowing for Category III approach and landing down to 600ft/200M runway visual range (RVR), low-visibility takeoff as low as 300ft/75M RVR and lower-than-standard Category I approach minima as low as 1,600ft/400M RVR.

The MultiScan system is the radar that analyzes and determines actual weather hazards. The MultiScan system is reportedly derived to create a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather displays.

The Hermes 2100 Ground Data Link system reportedly enables process efficiencies by bringing together air and ground processes and information management within the airline. Coupled with its compelling user interfaces, Hermes 2100 provides the tools required for effective and timely collaborative decision making.

flydubai has also selected comprehensive suite Rockwell Collins sensors, including ADF-900 automatic direction finder, DFA-901 direction finding antenna, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, HFS-900D high frequency data radio, CPL-920D coupling unit, GLU925 multi-mode receiver, PAU-700 passenger address unit, VHF-2100 high speed multi-mode data radio, and VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional range receiver.
