Story from Honeywell<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Phoenix<\/span><\/span>, Arizona, December 9, 2024<\/span><\/span>, PRNewswire<\/strong> – Honeywell announced today that Avianca, Colombia’s <\/span>largest airline, has selected its portfolio of avionics technologies and mechanical systems for use in its new Airbus A320neo fleet. The adoption of Honeywell’s latest cockpit technologies will help Avianca improve operational efficiencies and maximize situational awareness for its pilots. It also supports Honeywell’s portfolio alignment to three powerful megatrends, including the future of aviation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Additionally, Honeywell will provide 131-9A auxiliary power units (APUs) for Avianca’s 138 new aircraft.\u00a0 Honeywell’s 131-9A APU generates electrical power for the aircraft while on the ground, which helps to ensure passenger comfort prior to starting the main engines.<\/p>\n

In addition to Honeywell’s 131-9A APU, Avianca also selected the following Honeywell avionics technologies for adoption across its Airbus A320neo fleet of aircraft:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Honeywell Pegasus II A320 Flight Management System (FMS)<\/b> provides the primary navigation, flight planning, and optimized route determination and enroute guidance for the aircraft and is typically comprised of the following interrelated functions: navigation, flight planning, trajectory prediction, performance computations, guidance and AOC\/ATC data link functions.<\/li>\n
  • IntuVue RDR-4000 3D Weather Radar System<\/b> is the first automatic, commercial radar to accurately depict weather in the flight path of an airplane. IntuVue automatically scans the sky at 17 tilt angles \u2013 the most in the industry \u2013 and delivers a 3-D view of the weather through an intuitive display pilots can quickly and easily reference. The system also improves strategic rerouting and tactical maneuvering that allow pilots to find the most efficient route for on-time arrival, improved fuel efficiency, and safety.<\/li>\n
  • Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS<\/b>), a system which helps mitigate the risk of a potential mid-air collision by addressing safety hazards and providing a clear course of action when a danger is detected. Honeywell’s SmartTraffic CAS 100 system not only implements necessary safety logic, but it also improves situational awareness and safety in high density airspace through a more intuitive and informative display of traffic.<\/li>\n
  • Integrated Multi-Mode Receiver<\/b> is one of the industry’s leading radio navigation aids and combines satellite-based and ground-based navigation systems into one receiver. This receiver helps pinpoint precise airplane locations for efficient landings, especially during difficult and new runway approaches.<\/li>\n
  • Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS<\/b>) reduces the risk of controlled flight into terrain by providing flight crews with timely, accurate information about terrain and obstacles in the area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
