The technical standard order (TSO) approval from the FAA allows the new FMS 6.1 software upgrade to be installed in aircraft with Honeywell’s FMZ-2000 flight management system.
The upgrade provides capability for wide area augmentation system-localiser performance with vertical guidance (WAAS-LPV) and FANS.
It also prepares aircraft for future FAA authorisation to fly required navigation performance (RNP), special aircraft and aircrew authorisation required (SAAAR) operations.
About 600 aircraft will be eligible for the upgrade including Falcon 900B, Hawker 800XP and Challenger 601 aircraft.
