China Cargo Airlines selects Rockwell Collins' avionics for 10 Boeing 777s
Zhuhai, CHINA (November 03, 2008) - China Cargo Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide a comprehensive package of communication, navigation and surveillance
avionics for 10 Boeing 777 aircraft. Deliveries of these aircraft are scheduled to begin in December 2009 and continue through
2013.
"Our close relationship with all levels of leadership at China Cargo Airlines and our superior customer support capabilities
have provided the foundation for this win" said Jeff Standerski, vice president and general manager of Air Transport for Rockwell
Collins. "The avionics package selected includes our MultiScan™ weather radar, which continues to be a differentiator when
it comes to enabling safer, smoother and more efficient flights."
Rockwell Collins' award-winning WXR-2100 MultiScan Hazard Detection is the first and only radar that analyzes and determines
actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content. The MultiScan system is a fully automatic, hands-free airborne
radar system with more than five years of operational experience that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger
comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather.
Among the products selected is the Rockwell Collins GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR). The GLU-925 is the first MMR certified
for precision landing using either Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). The GLU-925
is the primary navigation sensor for all phases of flight, including the stringent Required Navigation Performance (RNP) requirement
of 0.1 n.m.
Other equipment chosen by China Cargo Airlines includes Rockwell Collins' ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900 Distance
Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Frequency Data Radio, VHF-2100 multi-mode, Very High Frequency (VHF), LRA-900 Low-range
Radio Altimeter, and VOR-900 VHF Omnidirectional Range receiver.
