Shandong Selects Rockwell Collins's HUD, Other Avionics for B-737-800s Shandong Airlines selected a suite of Rockwell Collins avionics for its 18 new B-737-800s that includes a HGS (head-up guidance system), hazard detection radar, and audio/video IFE (in-flight entertainment). Rockwell Collins's Model 4000 HGS will allow Shandong's pilots to operate to low-visibility minima at some Chinese airports that were previously unavailable, and will provide the airline with a platform for new technologies, such as enhanced vision and surface guidance. Shandong's B-737s will have Rockwell's MultiScan WXR-2100 radar which goes beyond simply reflecting atmospheric moisture content to analyze returns to better determine their actual hazard potential. And its fully automatic, hands-free operation can detect weather out to 320 miles. Shandong's B-737 passengers will have access to Rockwell's PAVES IFE that features 10.4-inch retractable overhead liquid crystal displays, and 22 channels of digital in-seat audio programming. Other Rockwell products chosen by Shandong include the GLU-920 MMR (multi mode receiver) service, ADF-900 automatic direction finder, VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional radio, DFA-901 direction finding antenna, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, HFS-900 and HFS-900D/ CPL-920D high frequency communication system and antenna coupling unit, LRA-900 low-range radio altimeter, VHF-920 very high frequency transceiver, TPR-901 mode-S transponder, and ACAS 900 airborne collision avoidance system. 07-07-2007. |
