Hainan Airlines selects Rockwell Collins MultiScan and sensors for A330s02-Feb-2010 | |
Tags :China, Hainan Airlines Hainan Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide its MultiScan™ Hazard Detection system and sensors for 13 of its Airbus A330 aircraft. The announcement was made at the 2010 Singapore Airshow. Deliveries will take place beginning in 2010. "Rockwell Collins' award-winning MultiScan Hazard Detection system supports Hainan's efforts to maintain the highest standards of flight operations," said Thud Chee (TC) Chan, vice president and managing director, Asia-Pacific for Rockwell Collins. "MultiScan's ability to automatically detect and analyze weather hazards during all phases of flight will allow Hainan pilots to fly the most efficient routes to get passengers to their destinations on time." The MultiScan system is the first and only radar that analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content, to provide flight crews more accurate weather returns. The MultiScan system is derived from extensive operational experience and provides a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather displays. In addition to MultiScan, Hainan Airlines also selected the following sensors from Rockwell Collins: ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900 Distance Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Speed Data Radio, CPL-920D Coupling Unit, VOR-900 Marker Beacon Receiver, and VHF-2100 Very High Frequency Transceiver.
