For operators looking to access more airports, increase safety, reduce crew workload or meet the changing regulatory compliance and airspace requirements, the Honeywell FMZ-2000 flight management system (FMS) version 6.1 upgrade contains significant improvements to the FMS and other navigation systems.
Required for the 2020 Future Air Navigation System (FANS) 1/A Mandate on the following aircraft:
FMS 6.1 delivers future growth to FANS data link, which will provide direct communications between the aircraft and air traffic control during oceanic operations. It also will enable departure clearances over data link at more than 50 US airports. FANS data link replaces high-frequency voice position reporting with automated FMS reporting.
The Version 6.1 upgrade will help operators meet the challenges of today and prepare for future requirements, like operating in the Future Air Navigation (FANS) environment. The new software version gives flight crews the capabilities they want and need to improve flight safety and efficiency while reducing pilot workload during critical phases of flight.
With the software Version 6.1 upgrade enhancements are made that will trim flight time, reduce fuel burn and emissions, and provide features critical for meeting both current and upcoming airspace requirments.
