Advanced Avionics Upgrade (AAU) for in-service Global aircraft now available
Bombardier recently introduced the Advanced Avionics Upgrade (AAU) for the Bombardier Vision flight deck, a new avionics software and hardware enhancement with the latest technology to enhance situational awareness and offer advanced visualization features.
Powered by Collins Aerospace, the AAU is available for in-service Global 5000, Global 6000, Global 5500 and Global 6500 aircraft equipped with the Bombardier Vision flight deck. The new AAU allows for the installation of Bombardier’s revolutionary Combined Vision System (CVS), which integrates the best features of the Synthetic Vision System (SVS) and the Enhanced Vision System (EVS) in a single view to reduce crew workload and achieve unmatched situational awareness with the clearest view in tough weather conditions. In addition to the CVS, operators can add optional enhancements to their new avionics package, such as ADS-B in/Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) and Airport Moving map/SVS Taxi mode. A state-of-the-art weather radar will also be available, enabling the Vertical Weather and Predictive Windshear featured options.
Important safety and performance-enhancing capabilities with the AAU include Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) with improved message logic; an Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS) that sets the industry standard for system integration, quantity and quality of information; updated weather enhancements with XM/SXM Graphical Weather/DataLink Graphical Weather; further improvements to the Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) that provides updates to the head-up display (HUD); primary flight display (PFD) logic; Synthetic Vision System (SVS) for enhanced operational performance and more.
Installation of the AAU on in-service Global aircraft is now available across Bombardier’s expanded service centre network, which includes all locations in the United States, Europe and Asia, and features new, state-of-the-art buildings in Singapore, Miami Opa Locka, Melbourne and London Biggin Hill.
