Rockwell Collins HGS-4200 certified on Bombardier CRJ705, CRJ900

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (September 27, 2006) - Rockwell Collins' HGS-4200 Head-up Guidance System (HGS^®) has been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transport Canada (TC) for use on Bombardier CRJ705 and Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft.

Rockwell Collins worked with Bombardier and Air Canada Jazz to achieve this certification. Air Canada Jazz provided the flight test aircraft used to conduct certification flights, including 40 HGS approaches into several Canadian and U.S. airfields. Bombardier provided a CRJ900 simulator and related support for the certification effort. The certification program required 335 simulated HGS approaches to be flown in a wide variety of environmental conditions.

The HGS-4200 displays critical flight information in the pilot's forward field of view. Aircraft flight path and acceleration symbols and command guidance appear overlaying the outside scene allowing precision hand-flown approaches, enhancing situational awareness and improving aircraft energy management. Additional features include the display of runway remaining information, tailstrike avoidance and unusual attitude recovery symbology.
