Xiamen Airlines has ordered the MultiScan threat detection system and GLU-925 multimode receiver (MMR) from Rockwell Collins for its fleet of 25 Boeing 737NG aircraft.
The MultiScan threat detection system is a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system, which provides optimal clutter-free weather displays to reduce pilot workload, and enhance safety and passenger comfort by minimising unexpected turbulence encounters.
The first multimode receiver certified for precision landing, the advanced GLU-925 MMR uses global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) or instrument landing systems.
The GLU-925 is the primary navigation sensor for all phases of flight, and meets the stringent required navigation performance (RNP) requirement of 0.1nm.
Xiamen has also ordered ADF-900 automatic detection finder, DME-900 distance measuring equipment, VOR-900 VHF omnidirectional radio and HFS-900D high-speed data radio from Rockwell.
Rockwell will begin delivery of its products to Xiamen in July 2011.
