FlightSafety International selects Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (July 10, 2007) - FlightSafety International will install Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics in a Dassault Falcon 50 Full Motion Simulator.
The simulator is scheduled to be operational by December 2007.
"Current and future Falcon 50 Pro Line 21 customers will have access to a full motion simulator that is more representative
of their aircraft," said Denny Helgeson, vice president and general manager of Rockwell Collins Business and Regional Systems.
"This announcement coincides with the 25th Falcon 50 to be retrofitted with Pro Line 21. Dassault Falcon 50 operators continue
to install Pro Line 21 because it brings value to the aircraft while improving situational awareness."
The Pro Line 21 avionics suite features four eight-inch by 10-inch active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) in a portrait
configuration. The system includes Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) radio suite,
digital autopilot with coupled VNAV, Dual Flight Management Systems with GPS WAAS receivers, air data sensors, integrated
maintenance diagnostics, weather radar and Dual Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS).
Rockwell Collins IFIS enables such advanced capabilities as electronic charts with the aircraft symbol overlayed to enhance
situational awareness on approach and while taxiing, graphical weather (XM satellite broadcast as well as interactive request/reply
from Universal Weather), and enhanced map overlays. The dual Integrated Flight Information System installation in the Falcon
50 retrofit supports the capability to operate without paper charts.
