Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel,once famously observed that digitaldata density doubles every 18
months, with the result being less expen-sive, faster and more capable computers. Anaviation variant of the so-called Moore’sLaw is trickling down to the cockpits of thenewest light aircraft. As their size and costsdecline, the capabilities of integrated cir-cuits accelerate, creating more exciting pos-sibilities for avionics, especially glass cockpitdisplays and safety technology.
Seeing the trend, the aviation trainingcommunity is responding. Embry-RiddleAeronautical University, for one, is addingglass cockpits with ADS-B avionics to itsnewest Cessna 172s . Similar ly, theUniversity of North Dakota is purchasingseven Piper PA-28s equipped with Avidyne’sFlightMax Entegra integrated flight deck,along with Avidyne-supplied training sta-tions, for use at its John D. Odegard Schoolof Aerospace Sciences. Meanwhile, Avidynereports that Piper is adding glass cockpit ca-pabilities to several of its smaller general
aviation models, and Canada’s SymphonyAircraft will have the first two-seat singleequipped with an integrated glass instru-ment panel. And earlier, Meggitt/S-TECannounced its S-TEC System 55 autopilotswould be available as a factory-installed op-tion in Symphony’s new Avidyne Glass IFRconfiguration Symphony 160.
How does this impact business aviation?Graduates of these leading flight schoolswill be familiar with the integrated glasscockpit environments found in the newestbusiness and commercial aircraft, thus fa-cilitating their transition. Glass cockpits, nolonger a gee-whiz option, are now becom-ing commonplace.
The move to upgrade to ADS-B capabil-ity at this time makes sense in light of theFAA’s stated intention to initiate its ADS-Band SWIM (system-wide information man-agement) projects in its 2007 fiscal year,which begins Oct. 1. ADS-B and SWIMare two of the core capabilities of the FAA’sNext Generation Air TransportationSystem (NGATS). ADS-B will be an im-portant NGATS element because it out-performs radar in accuracy, detectioncapability, update rate and coverage — allat a lower cost, say FAA representatives. Theagency plans to install as many as 400 ADS-B ground stations across the United Statesand to decommission 200 or more radars.
Meanwhile, WAAS — the FAA’s long-overdue wide area augmentation system de-veloped to significantly increase locationaccuracy and reliability of precision ap-proach GPS positioning systems — finallyseems to be materializing. UniversalAvionics recently completed its first WAASflight test of its new “W” series flight man-agement system by conducting approachesat the Farmington, N.M., airport, which hastwo WAAS instrument approaches, and atTucson International Airport.

to become available throughout the year.Incorporated into Universal’s UNS-1Ew,1Fw and 1Lw FMSes, the new SCN 1000software takes advantage of the capabilitiesof WAAS for en route, terminal and instru-ment approach procedures.
In another example of trickle-down tech,Honeywell’s Bendix/King EGPWS (en-hanced ground proximity warning system)will be standard equipment on all CirrusSR20 and SR22 models. Using technologyderived from Honeywell’s air transport EG-PWS, the KGP 560 uses GPS positioninginformation and compares it to an internaldatabase of terrain and obstacles to providea moving map display of potential hazards,along with visual and audio alerts, shouldthe aircraft approach too close. EGPWS isHoneywell’s term for a terrain awarenessand warning system (TAWS).
Other recent avionics developmentsworth noting include:
äAvidyne is offering a new line of activesurveillance traffic systems for helicopters.The TAS600 series include Heads UpAudible Position Alerting and other featuresbeginning at $9,900. The company, whichacquired Ryan International in 2005, utilizesactive surveillance technology from Ryan’s
popular 9900BX system. The three newTAS600 series systems have a range of fea-tures that allow helicopter owners to selectthe price-performance level that best fitstheir aircraft and mission. The systems arecertified for installation on most helicoptersand are available as an option on newEurocopter EC135, EC145 and EC155 mod-els as well as the Agusta A119. The series,ranging in price up to $20,990, provides in-truder squawk codes and N-numbers ofMode S-equipped aircraft and show stan-dard TCAS symbology on display systemsfrom 15 different manufacturers includingAvidyne, Garmin, Honeywell, Collins,
Chelton, Sandel and others.äCMC Electronics and Jeppesen have
teamed up to integrate various componentsfrom each company to produce upgradedClass 2 electronic flight bags (EFB).Jeppesen will provide its software, data andapplications, including digital terminal chartand content administration tools, along withits airport moving map, and its soon-to-be-released en route moving map. CMC,maker of the Class 2 PilotView EFB sys-tem, will supply its installation-relatedSTCs and post-sale support services andwill serve as the system integrator. CMC’sEFB has been certified on the GlobalExpress and Pilatus PC-12, and will soon becertified on the Falcon 10 and 50, theGulfstream IV, and all Boeing 737 models,including the BBJ.
äMeanwhile, the FAA has approvedJeppesen’s terminal chart viewer, which wasspecifically designed for portable and semi-integrated Class 1 and 2 EFBs. Because ofthe FAA’s OK, Jeppesen claims it is the firstand only provider of digital aeronauticalcharts to have received operational approvalfor all three EFB classes. Jeppesen, alongwith its parent company, Boeing, already re-ceived operational approval for its Class 3
Cirrus SR20 and SR22 models will haveBendix/King EGPWS standard.
EFB chart viewing software, which offersthe same basic functionality as these Class1 and 2 systems. To qualify for the FAA ap-proval, Jeppesen’s terminal chart applicationneeded to satisfy a number of criteria, in-cluding human factors considerations andits ability to functionally replace papercharts. Even though the Jeppesen applica-tions are operationally approved, U.S. aircarriers must still gain specific approvalfrom their principal operations inspectorsand complete a six-month evaluation usingelectronic charts.
äWhen was the last time you shot anNDB approach? Although we still includeAutomatic Direction Finders in our listingsbecause they still show up on many opera-tors’ MELs, they soon may become mu-seum pieces. The FAA will cancel morethan 200 NDB-based flight procedures onJuly 7 and another group of more than 200on Sept. 7. This action follows a proposalin the U.S. Federal Register on March 3,2005, to eliminate what have become re-dundant instrument approaches. That no-tice included a listing of 480 NDBs slatedfor possible cancellation. The NationalFlight Procedures Office considered morethan 680 comments during the commentperiod. Since the agency is moving to satel-lite navigation, it wants to concentrate re-sources on the development, f l ightinspection and life-span maintenance ofnew WAAS-capable RNAV procedures. Tomeet the FAA’s criteria for NDB cancella-tion, the target NDB and an RNAV proce-dure must serve the same runway end.

äIn news from a technology you mayhave thought was already extinct: ARINCsays that its high-frequency data link(HFDL) is becoming more popular bothbecause of its high availability over muchof the globe, and its relatively low cost. Thecompany said there are more than 500 air-craft now using its GLOBALink/HF, in-cluding 125 that have signed up in the lastnine months alone. Michelle Kyle, who
manages ARINC’s HF business, says,“Many carriers are using HFDL instead ofsatellite, or as a backup.” Partly, it’s becauseof HFDL’s “seamless” coverage, especiallyat high polar latitudes where satcom cover-age becomes unavailable, and also over re-mote regions where ground-based VHFstations don’t exist. Airbus and Boeing havecertified most of their models for HFDL,and airlines often order new aircraft with
HFDL as standard, Kyle said. And becauseof the lower cost of HFDL avionics com-pared to satcom, it is considered cost effec-tive and reliable for digital data linkmessages. This is particularly true for cargocarriers and passenger carriers that are notplanning for passenger communications.ARINC launched its HFDL service in1998. Because HF signals can travel morethan halfway around the world, only 14HFDL stations are needed to provide re-dundant coverage for North Atlantic routesand supplemental coverage elsewhere, thecompany says. But to improve the network’sfunctionality even more, ARINC is in-stalling new electronics and software at all14 stations during 2006.
äIn related news, Airservices Australiahas begun operating an enhanced HF radiosystem that replaces the nation’s 30-year-oldnetwork. The new system should provide aclearer signal, with a greater range than theold network, and with less atmospheric in-terference, the service provider says. Thereare still a substantial number of aircraft op-erators in Australia’s vast interior that relysolely on HF for communications. In addi-tion, about 70 percent of aircraft inboundand outbound from Australia use HF radio.And a new HF air-ground radio system hasbeen commissioned by the Irish AviationAuthority and Iceland CAA to upgradetheir integrated North Atlantic service.
äARINC Direct is offering VHF digitalMode 2 data link service for Bombardier’snew Challenger 300 and other aircraftequipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line21 data link equipment. The VDL servicewas deployed in May 2005 to coincide withthe first Challenger 300 customer delivery.In Rockwell’s integrated Pro Line 21 CNS(communications, navigation and surveil-lance) system, its digital VHF-4000 data ra-dio is paired with its RIU-4000 radiointerface unit or CMU-4000 communica-tions management unit to provide VDLMode 2 data link capability, which Rockwellexpects will grow in popularity as morebusiness jet users, as well as airlines, adoptthe technology.
äRockwell Collins says it has receivedthe first C166 TSO approval for ADS-Bfunctionality on Mode-S transponders. Theapproval enables the use of ADS-B to pro-vide enhanced traffic situational awarenesson the airport surface and/or advancedflight procedures, including visual acquisi-tion for see and avoid, sequencing andmerging, crossing and passing maneuvers,and oceanic in-trail operations. Accordingto Rockwell Collins, its TDR-94/94D (-108versions) are the first transponders to befully compliant with the RTCA DO-260Astandard, which ensures the integrity andaccuracy of data necessary to fully support

the future surveillance applications that arebeing proposed for operations en route, interminal areas, in non-radar areas and onairport surfaces. Besides the FAA TSO, theTDR 94/94D transponders are approvedby the European Aviation Safety Agency(EASA) and standards to support both ele-mentary and enhanced surveillance, whichmeans the transponder can reply to ground-based SSR (secondary surveillance radar)interrogations that give air traffic controllersenhanced surveillance information. TheTDR-94/94D continues to support TCASII functions as well , Rockwell says.Operators with existing Pro Line radio in-stallations can update the TDR-94/94Dtransponders through appropriate servicebulletins.
This year we’ve added, a new category,Enhanced Vision Systems, to the avionicslistings. We invite you to take a look at whatwe believe will become another mainstreamtechnology in coming years. Although en-hanced and synthetic vision systems forcivilian use have been in serious develop-ment for more than a decade, it’s only in thepast few years that their true capabilities andutility have materialized. And like every-thing else we depend upon for flying safelythrough the weather and dark of night, thecost will doubtless continue to come down,making the technology available for an everwider segment of business aviation.
Indeed, Kollsman and Sandel recently an-nounced they are jointly developing EVSand SVS for use on smaller business aviationaircraft such as the new very light jets.Initially, the joint effort will focus on inte-grating Sandel’s advanced displays withKollsman’s ultra-compact HUD, called aMicroHUD. A follow-on program will addKollsman’s new heads-down FLIR capabil-ity, named GAViS, which would give the pi-lot improved visibility in darkness. In bothcases, the goal is to reduce the size and costof these advanced display technologies, mak-ing them affordable to a broader group ofbusiness and general aviation operators.Kollsman wants to get the price of its HUDdown to half the industry-standard $100,000,and to do the same for the infrared imager.The company sees certification of the GAViSoccurring by midyear and late this year forthe new HUD. In addition, Kollsman isflight-testing a combined enhanced and syn-thetic vision system, called ESViS, whichoverlays the sensor image on terrain com-puter-generated from an onboard database,being developed by Jeppesen. ESViS also in-cludes a Sandel TAWS. Its certification is ex-pected in early 2008.
All of which means we’ll keep watchingthis and other important avionics devel-opments and report on them as they happen. B&CA
