The AAU software will see Bombardier’s Combined Vision System, which integrates features of the Synthetic Vision System, and the Enhanced Vision System in a single view to reduce crew workload and streamline situational awareness offering what the company calls “the clearest view through the toughest weather”.
The upgrade was powered by Collins Aerospace, whose senior director of sales, business and regional avionics, Marc Ayala, explained in a news release that the primary objective is to proactively provide information to the flight deck that improves safety and confidence in decision making.
Important safety and performance-enhancing capabilities with the AAU include:
- Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System with improved message logic
- an Integrated Flight Information System that sets the industry standard for system integration, quantity, and quality of information
- updated weather enhancements with XM/SXM Graphical Weather/DataLink Graphical Weather
- further improvements to the Electronic Flight Instrument System that provides updates to the head-up display, primary flight display logic and Synthetic Vision System for enhanced operational performance
Installation of the AAU on in-service Global aircraft is available across the complete Bombardier service centre network.
Bombardier provides business jet design, manufacturing and services.
