...Choose­the­Icube-S­concept

To meet these demands, you need an avionics suite that is intuitive,interactive, integrated (Icube) and Safe (S). This is the innovativeIcube-S concept- the unique strength behind the TopDeck® avionicssuite fromThales.

IntuitiveThe key to enhancing safety is to optimise the crew’s cognitiveworkload, particularly during complex tasks such as re-routing,and when handling emergencies. In addition to its MMI, wherepilot tasks are directly controlled through display objects,TopDeck® features an intuitive central cursor control device (iCCD)- the first of its kind on a helicopter. This iCCD puts all functions atthe pilot’s fingertips. With TopDeck® on board, the pilot’s attentionis fully focused on accomplishing the mission. Workload isreduced, reaction time shortened and safety increased.

InteractiveWhereas most avionics suites involve the complex task ofactivating multiple, dedicated rocker switches, pushbuttons andpotentiometers, TopDeck® features a breakthrough interactive Man-Machine Interface (MMI). Using point-and-click, drag-and-drop and scrolling functionsdirectly on the display, the pilot has easy access to:• interactive Flight Management System (iFMS), with flight plan

creation and revisions on the Digital Map (DMap)• interactive Radio Management System (iRMS), including direct

access to airport radio frequencies on the Digital Map• crew alerting system• XM Weather* services**• normal and emergency checklists• a broad range of virtual control panels for equipment setting.

IntegratedThe time when every function came with new hardware is long gone. To maximise helicopter use while guaranteeingsafety and efficiency, Thales has developed a comprehensiveavionics suite that offers an unrivalled level of integration,combining all functions within a unique, modular and versatilearchitecture while significantly reducing ownership cost.

TopDeck® comprises:• Primary Flight and Navigation Displays (PFD/ND)• Flight/Mission Management and Digital Map (FM/DMap)• Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (H-TAWS)• Helicopter Synthetic Vision System (H-SVS)• Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)• Radiocommunications and navigation• Vehicle and engine management• Centralized maintenance• Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)

SafePilot gets full advantage from having all the latest functionalitiesdisplayed in a consistent and harmonised way and can thereforeconcentrate on ensuring a successful mission. As a result,TopDeck® provides the crew and passengers with an unparallellevel of safety.
