Air traffic demand increases over the coming years
capability & performance
The aviation sector must cater for the new systems requirements to support the growth. We are able to offer the latest technology standards in terms of avionics capability and performance.
The drivers for such enhancements may be safety, or simply the need for more efficient flight trajectories. Upgrades can reduce fuel burn and emissions, whilst maintaining the highest air safety standards.
Future Air Navigation System
FANS
FANS allows improved communication and surveillance capability with the aircraft, to avoid misunderstanding between ATC and the flight crew as well as improving information visibility.
FANS A+ Improves Data Link communication in Oceanic and Remote Airspace
FANS B+ Improves Data Link communication primarily in High density airspace.
Head Up Display
HUD
The Airbus Head-Up Display (HUD) is an advanced aviation technology designed to enhance pilot situational awareness and flight safety.
Installed in various Airbus aircraft models, the HUD projects crucial flight information directly onto a transparent screen positioned in the pilot's line of sight.
This allows pilots to access important data such as airspeed, altitude, heading, and flight path without looking down at the instrument panel, thereby maintaining their focus on the external environment.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
ADS-B Out DO260B
The ADS-B Out DO260B refers to a component of modern aviation communication and surveillance systems used in Airbus aircraft.
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) Out is a technology that enables aircraft to broadcast their position, velocity, and other pertinent information to air traffic control and other aircraft in the vicinity.
ADS-B OUT DO260B meets worldwide regional mandates.
Fuel Tank Inerting System
FTIS
The FAA were the first authority to propose a mandate for In-Service aircraft and this was subsequently followed by other local authorities. The Chinese authorities also now require full fleet compliance by 2024.
The system is fitted as standard on line-fit aircraft today.
The system conditions air from the engine bleed prior to passing it through an Inert Gas Generating System, before entry into the aircraft centre fuel tank.
Other upgrades
TCAS 7.1
TCAS 7.1 (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) improves reversal logic in case of RA (Resolution Advisory) displaying a new “Level Off” aural message instead of “Adjust Vertical speed”.
HAFEX
HAFEX (Halon Free Extinguishers) used as an extinguishing agent is forbidden as per: Montreal and Kyoto protocol and ICAO statement.From 2025, all portable fire extinguishers on in-service aircraft must be replaced by halon-free equipment.
You can replace all cockpit and cabin portable fire extinguishers by HAFEX bottles. HAFEX is the lightest alternative to existing halon extinguishers and weighs only 2.4kg per bottle (including 1.6kg of 2BTP agent and a bracket).
LF- ULB
"Low Frequency Underwater Location Beacon"
An Underwater Low Frequency Location Beacon transmitting on a frequency of 8.8 kHz instead of 37,5 kHz multiply by 4 the transmission range. (5 km for a conventional ULB, 22 km for a low frequencies).
