 Hawker Beechcraft Services (HBS) has reached an agreement with Raytheon Airline Aviation Services (RAAS) to upgrade its Beechcraft 1900D demonstrator with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Integrated Display System (IDS). This marks the first customer for this upgrade through HBS.
Announced at the Beechcraft 1900 Operators Conference in Wichita last month, the HBS IDS upgrade is designed to significantly improve 1900D reliability and reduce operating cost by replacing legacy avionics equipment with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 video capable Adaptive Flight Displays, dual Attitude Heading Reference Systems, and an electronic Engine Indication System. In addition, the RAAS demonstrator will be upgraded with a Rockwell Collins Integrated Flight Information System, a model 850 Weather Radar, dual air data computers, dual APS-65 Autopilots, a Rockwell Collins TCAS II 4000 and dual Garmin model GNS-400 WAAS enabled Navigators.
