Lynx Aviation Selects Rockwell Collins Head-up Guidance for Q400s

Lynx Aviation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontier Holdings, will install Rockwell Collins' HGS (head-up guidance system) on its fleet of Bombardier Q400s.  The first aircraft should have the equipment installed by the end of July.

Lynx will use Rockwell Collins' HGS-4100 (see more technical specification information), which presents flight symbology on a glass combiner in the pilot's forward field of view.  The system will expand the operational capability of the Q400, including category-III approaches down to 600 feet RVR (runway visual range), and takeoffs in visibilities as low as 300 feet RVR at Category III airports.  It can also enable lower-than-standard category-I approach minima down to 1600 feet RVR.  05-26-2007.
