Brings Latest In Avionics Functionality To Older Turbines
Citing its commitment to increase the effectiveness and safety
of older turbine aircraft, Cutter Aviation Technical Services
announced Monday its latest venture in avionics upgrade
technology.
On November 14, Cutter Aviation was issued Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) ST02173LA by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) for the modification and replacement of existing Rockwell
Collins dual Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) AHS-85E units
with the new AHS-3000A also manufactured by Rockwell Collins for
all Hawker Beechcraft Beechjet 400A aircraft. The primary function
of the AHS-3000A is to provide critical flight data and
measurements for pitch, roll and heading angles for use by the
primary flight display.
The AHS-3000A’s new solid-state sensor technology
combined with leading edge avionics design techniques allows a
seamless replacement of the aging AHS-85E units which are being
phased out at a rapid rate. The STC allows older model Beechjet
aircraft to attain avionics performance standards seen in new
production Hawker Beechcraft 400XP aircraft.
Capitalizing on decades of experience with the Beechcraft
product line, Cutter worked directly with Rockwell Collins in the
development and testing of the modification and documentation
necessary for the STC.
"Though it’s not as immediately noticeable as a new flight
display for the pilot, the enhanced quality of data and processing
efficiency of the AHS-3000A will truly be a significant improvement
in the operation of the 400A," said Bill Forbes, Director of
Business Development for Cutter Aviation. "A display is only as
good as the data is receives and the 3000A makes that better data
possible."
