Turkish Airlines selects Rockwell Collins avionics suite

“We’re pleased that Turkish Airlines continues to put their trust in us to deliver our efficiency-improving and safety-enhancing solutions across its new short- and long-haul fleet,” said Steve Timm, vice president and general manager, Air Transport Systems for Rockwell Collins

Turkish Airlines also entered into a long-term, customised price-per-repair service agreement with Rockwell Collins to support avionics on its new fleet. 

Rockwell Collins’ MultiScan Threat Detection System is a fully automatic airborne weather radar system that combines the latest weather science with advanced engineering concepts to identify and analyse thunderstorm cells, and display the weather threat. 

The end result is fewer flight diversions, which leads to lower fuel burn, and greater passenger comfort due to minimising unexpected turbulent encounters. 

The latest version of MultiScan features many new capabilities that enable the prediction and display of hail and lightning potential, thunderstorm-related bow-wave turbulence, and storm cell tracking. Rockwell Collins’ GLU-925 MMR enables airlines and operators to take advantage of evolving Required Navigation Performance (RNP)/Area Navigation (RNAV) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) capabilities. 

The GLU-925 fulfills the requirements for aircraft navigation position source, Category III Instrument Landing System (ILS), Category I Global Positioning Landing System (GLS), accessing RNP/RNAV airspace (down to RNP Authorization Required 0.1), and meets the GPS position and availability requirements for ADS-B Out mandates.
