Landmark Installs Honeywell Primus Epic Avionics on Gulfstream III

Landmark Aviation says it has retrofitted a Honeywell Primus Epic integrated avionics system on a Gulfstream III that includes Honeywell's Mark VII class-A TAWS (terrain awareness & warning system) and RAAS (runway awareness & advisory system).

Gary Bosemer, Landmark's avionics marketing director, said, "The Primus Epic system was integrated into the Gulfstream III while retaining the legacy FMS (flight management system) and Proline II navigation and communication equipment."

The retrofit, which was completed at Landmark's Springfield, Illinois facility, allows a Gulfstream III's flight data to be displayed on three large flat-panel liquid crystal displays that consolidate primary flight information, weather, TCAS, and TAWS functions. The pilot can control a number of functions with drop-down menus, and its interactive navigation system allows simultaneous displays of traffic, terrain and previewing of pre-selected approaches.  Other features include a flexible architecture and system design that provides weight, wire and power savings, as well as fewer LRUs (line replaceable units).

Besides Springfield, Landmark Aviation operates major MRO centers at Augusta, Georgia, Los Angeles, Little Rock, and Houston.  In addition, the company operates six MRO shops at FBO (fixed base operator) facilities in the U.S.  02-15-2007.
