The industry's best-selling integrated TAWS for corporate, regional and air transport markets, the Sandel ST3400 is an integrated panel-mount system that outperforms cumbersome remote-mount TAWS systems that weigh and cost far more. A 3-ATI-size system that features a TAWS database, processor and oversized, high-resolution color display in a single unit, the ST3400 meets TSO C151b for both Class A and Class B requirements. Also incorporating RMI functionality, the ST3400 serves as a drop-in replacement for conventional RMI units, displaying terrain maps, topographic maps, navigation waypoint maps and TCAS data.
In flight environments that demand an ever-increasing amount of attention, pilots need a higher level of situational awareness. The Honeywell Bendix/King KGP 860 enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) incorporates much of the same terrain database technology found in our air transport EGPWS, while specifically protecting light turbine and piston aircraft from the threat of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). Based on Honeywell’s proven CFIT alerting algorithms, our EGPWS provides advanced alerting while virtually eliminating nuisance warnings.
The MK-VI version of Honeywell's EGPWS has been optimized for regional aircraft and provides protection against controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). CFIT warnings include excessive rate of descent, terrain closure rate, excessive altitude loss after takeoff or missed approach procedure, insufficient terrain clearance, descent below glideslope, an excessive bank angle. It also provides callouts at 500 feet, 200 feet and minimums during approach. (Note: No windshear information is provided by the Mark VI.) Once in use, customers receive free database updates, as they become available.
The MK-VIII version of Honeywell's EGPWS has been optimized for aircraft serving various markets. Offering most of the features of the MK-V/MK-VII EGPWS, the MK-VIII helps to prevent accidents caused by Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT).
The system achieves this by using a number of aircraft inputs, applying proprietary alerting algorithms, and alerting the crew with aural messages, visual indications, and displays in the event the boundaries of the alerting envelope have been exceeded. Once in use, customers receive free database updates, as they become available.
