Eurowing Equipping CRJ700s with Rockwell Collins' HGS Eurowing is equipping its new fleet of CRJ700s with Rockwell Collins' HGS (head-up guidance systems). Deliveries of the aircraft to Eurowing began last month. The HGS-4200 will give Eurowing's CRJ700s CAT III approach minima thereby reducing their approach decision height capability from 100 to 50 feet and their RVR (runway visual range) from 550 meters to 200 meters. Additionally, the LVTO (low visibility takeoff) capability of HGS reduces the minimum RVR required for takeoff from 125 meters to 75 meters. Equipping with HGS is the only CAT III solution for CRJs, according to Rockwell Collins. The HGS-4200 displays critical flight information in the pilot's forward field of view. Aircraft flight path and acceleration symbols and command guidance appear overlaying the outside scene allowing precision hand-flown approaches, enhancing situational awareness and improving aircraft energy management. Additional features include the display of runway remaining, unusual attitude recovery symbology and an angle of attack indicator. 10-30-2007. |
