Rockwell Collins Teams with Cebu Pacific Air

Rockwell Collins will provide a full suite of communication, navigation and surveillance systems as baseline equipment for Cebu Pacific Air’s 15 new Airbus A320 aircraft and its five options. This award marks Rockwell Collins’ first from the air carrier. The Rockwell Collins MultiScan Hazard Detection System is among the avionics CEB selected. The MultiScan system is the first and only radar that analyzes and determines actual weather hazards, not simply atmospheric moisture content, to provide flight crews more accurate weather returns. The MultiScan system is derived from extensive operational experience to create a fully automatic, hands-free airborne radar system that reduces pilot workload and enhances safety and passenger comfort by minimizing unexpected turbulence encounters, and provides optimal clutter-free weather displays. The airlie also selected the following sensors from Rockwell Collins: ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, DME-900 Distance Measuring Equipment, HFS-900D High Frequency Data Radio, GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver, and the VHF-2100 High Speed Multi-Mode Data Radio
