Head-up guidance

The Head-up Guidance System (HGS®) is an electronic and optical system that displays flight information in the pilot's forward field-of-view. The flight data is actually "projected" over the landscape in-view through the windshield, eliminating the need for the pilot to repeatedly transition between the head-down instruments and the forward view through the windshield.

The symbology featured on the Head-Up Display (HUD) is similar to the Primary Flight Display on the head-down instrument panel. Certified for use in all phases of flight, the HGS optimizes symbology for full-flight regime use - and includes the application of inertial flight path and flight path acceleration information.

The HGS system's integration and unique symbology allow for extremely precise aircraft control, while enhancing situational awareness and energy management.

At Rockwell Collins, we've built a reputation for providing the highest quality, best-value avionics and communications products for our customers. Our HGS embodies these qualities and is another example of how we're building trust every day.
