Air Berlin Selects Several Rockwell Collins Avionics Systems for New B-737NGs

Air Berlin has selected several avionics systems from Rockwell Collins for its 85 new B-737NGs that will begin arriving in April 2008, including the aircraft's hazard detection system, MMR (multi-mode receiver), and passenger address unit.

Rockwell Collins says its WXR-2100 MultiScan Hazard Detection System is the first and only weather radar on the market which analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content.  It operates automatically, without the need for pilots to adjust its tilt, for example, to provide optimal, clutter-free weather detection from the nose of the aircraft out to 320 nautical miles.  04-08-2007.
