Rockwell Collins offers Pro Line 21 IDS retrofit for King Air aircraft
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (August 14, 2006) - Rockwell Collins continues to collaborate with its Dealer Network and expand its Pro Line 21 Integrated Display System (IDS)
offering with a new Supplemental Type Certification (STC) on a King Air 200 and King Air 300. This installation and STC will
be performed by Superior Aircraft Maintenance in Medford, Ore. The completed STC will be owned by Rockwell Collins and will
be available to Rockwell Collins dealers.
Additionally, the company has introduced a new website that will allow operators to configure a retrofit solution to meet
their operational requirements.
"Our Pro Line 21 IDS upgrade provides the latest in avionics technology that greatly increases aircraft value with less expense
and downtime than a major retrofit," said Denny Helgeson, vice president and general manager, Business and Regional Systems
for Rockwell Collins. "This certification marks the continued expansion of the proven Pro Line 21 IDS solution."
The Pro Line 21 IDS King Air installation integrates with the aircraft's existing autopilot and sensors. The system includes
three 8-inch by 10-inch liquid crystal displays, a digital weather radar and Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) providing
electronic charts, approaches, airport diagrams and NOTAMS. An option to the IFIS package, included as part of the original
STC, is XM Datalink graphical weather, providing unmatched weather graphics.
Rockwell Collins' new Pro Line 21 IDS website (www.rockwellcollins.com/ids) allows operators to Build-A-Flight-Deck. Operators select the level of upgrade that interests them and configure an avionics
solution from a menu of Pro Line 21 capabilities. The site also identifies pending and completed supplemental type certifications
available for Pro Line 21 IDS.
