Transport Canada to update Citation II fleet with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 IDS

ORLANDO (October 16, 2006) - Transport Canada, Aircraft Services Directorate will be updating its fleet of nine Citation II aircraft with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Integrated Display System (IDS). The installation will be completed by Mid-Canada Mod Center / Kitchener Aero Avionics of Toronto, Ontario. Supplemental type certification (STC) will be performed by March 2007.

"The Pro Line 21 IDS upgrade enhances pilot decision making by incorporating the industry-leading functionality and proven reliability of our avionics," said Denny Helgeson, vice president and general manager, Business and Regional Systems. "This integration also enables Transport Canada to benefit from a system that is designed to accommodate changes in future aviation requirements."

The Pro Line 21 IDS upgrade will feature three 8-inch by 10-inch liquid crystal displays, turbulence weather radar and Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS). Additionally, Transport Canada will be adding Rockwell Collins Flight Management System, the Pro Line 21 CNS radio suite, and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II.

Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 IDS maximizes the performance of today's flight decks in a flexible, cost-effective manner with inherent growth for future capabilities. It offers a powerful upgrade without the full expense normally associated with a comprehensive retrofit application because it can integrate next-generation displays and graphics with existing sensors, radios, flight management systems and autopilots.
