Rockwell Collins avionics selected for EgyptAir A330s
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (August 24, 2009) - EgyptAir has selected Rockwell Collins avionics for five A330 aircraft with an option for three additional aircraft. Deliveries
are scheduled from August 2010 through 2012.
The agreement includes Rockwell Collins Multiscan™ Hazard Detection System, TTR-2100 Traffic Avoidance System, as well as
a full communications, navigation and surveillance suite including the GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver.
"With their selection of the MultiScan™ Hazard Detection System, our newest Traffic Collision Avoidance system, and advanced
Multi Mode Receiver for precision navigation, EgyptAir is equipped with some of the most advanced avionics available to airlines
today," said Jeff Standerski, vice president and general manager of Air Transport Systems for Rockwell Collins. "These systems
will play an important role in delivering enhanced levels of situational awareness for EgyptAir flight crews, as well as increased
operational efficiency for the airline and its passengers."
The Rockwell Collins MultiScan™ Hazard Detection System analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric
moisture content. The MultiScan system is derived from extensive operational experience to create a fully automatic, hands-free
airborne radar system that reduces pilot workload, enhances safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence
encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather displays.
Rockwell Collins' new TTR-2100 Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is a traffic computer-capable TCAS derived from Rockwell
Collins' integrated surveillance product line, which offers technology that can adapt to the evolving air traffic management
requirements.
Other products include: ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900 Distance Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Speed Data
Radio, CPL-920D Coupling Unit, GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), LRA-900 Low-range Radio Altimeter, RAA-700 Radio Altimeter
Antenna, TPR-901 Transponder, GNA-925 Global Navigation Antenna, and VHF-2100 Very High Frequency Transceiver.
