Air China Selects Rockwell Collins' Avionics for 49 Aircraft

Air China has selected Rockwell Collins's radar-based hazard detection system and other avionics for 25 B-737NGs and 24 A320 family aircraft it will begin receiving this fall.

Rockwell Collins says its fully automatic, hands-free MultiScan WXR-2100 is the first and only radar that analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content, out to 320 nautical miles.

Air China also selected Rockwell Collins' GLU-925 MMR (multi-mode receiver) that integrates the aircraft's satellite-based position and time, along with velocity for future precision landing functionality while maintaining ground-based instrument landing system capability.

In addition, the airline chose Rockwell Collins' VHF-2100 data radio, ADF-900 automatic direction finder, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, HFS-900D high frequency system with its CPL-920D coupling unit, and the VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional radio.  05-17-2007.
