Source: fly-corporate.com
 Rockwell Collins has successfully completed flight testing of a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) solution for Hawker 800XP aircraft equipped with Pro Line 21. The Supplemental Type Certificate is available now to 800XP operators.
"We continue to make enhancements to our Pro Line 21 system, including upgrades to address future airspace requirements and increase airport accessibility," said Greg Irmen, vice president and general manager of Business and Regional Systems for Rockwell Collins. "In addition to providing more approach options, WAAS/LPV helps Hawker 800XP aircraft crews reduce costs by lowering decision height minima."
Certification will allow operators of Hawker 800XP aircraft with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics to take advantage of the more than 1500 LPV approaches available today with minimum decision heights as low as 200 feet. Upgrades will be available through Rockwell Collins' network of certified dealers and Hawker Beechcraft Services.
Rockwell Collins plans to complete approximately 15 certified WAAS/LPV solutions over the next year on a variety of Pro Line 4 and Pro Line 21 aircraft manufactured by Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, and Hawker Beechcraft.
