L2 Consulting Receives STC for B-767 Honeywell RAAS Installation
The FAA granted L-2 Consulting Services an STC
(supplemental type certificate) for the installation
of the Honeywell's RAAS (runway awareness and
advisory system) on all B-767 models.
According to L-2's president, Mark Lebovitz,
L-2 Consulting is currently the only company to
hold an STC (ST10466SC) for a RAAS installation on
B-767s, and is making its usage rights immediately
available to owners and operators of all 200, 300,
300F, and 400ER models.
RAAS is a software upgrade hosted in the
Honeywell's EGPWS (enhanced ground proximity warning
system) that uses GPS and an airport runway database
to provide aural advisories to pilots regarding
various runway situations, including potential
incursions, to increase their situational awareness.
