In a joint effort with Rockwell Collins, Signature TECHNICAir Winston-Salem announced this week they had achieved Federal Aviation Administration supplemental type certificate (STC) for Rockwell’s Pro Line II to Pro Line Fusion avionics upgrade for King Air 350 turboprops.
“We are excited to now offer the absolute latest technology in advanced NextGen-capable avionics. With King Air 350 owners facing dwindling repair capability for the legacy flight deck and mandated upgrades for ADS-B compliance, Fusion offers an exceptional value proposition,” said Randy Deal, Sales Director, Signature TECHNICAir. “Having completed the certification work with Rockwell Collins, we know this upgrade inside and out, and look forward helping our customers experience the leap in technology, capability and value first hand.”
The upgrade will update Pro Line II equipped systems to the same Fusion avionics suite that comes standard on new factory King Air 350s. Rockwell Collins notes the following features of the Pro Line Fusion:
– Three 14.1-inch widescreen LCDs with advanced graphics, configurable windows, and touchscreen for point-and-click navigation
– Market-leading high-resolution synthetic vision as a standard feature, including Rockwell Collins’ patented airport dome, and extended runway centerlines with mile markers to better orient the pilot from top of descent through final approach
– Touch-interactive maps with eyes-forward flight planning, high-resolution topography, real-time onboard weather radar overlays, obstacles, and special-use airspace and search patterns for expanded situational awareness and reduced workload
– Geo-referenced electronic navigation charts that display own-ship aircraft position for enhanced situational awareness during approaches
Easy and fast database updates using a standard USB drive port on the front of the displays
