L-3 Avionics Systems, the former Goodrich subsidiary that produces the well known Stormscope and Skywatch lines of cockpit safety systems, last month introduced a new class-B terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS) that the company said will have a list price of $12,500.
The Landmark TAWS 8100 hits the market just in time for next spring’s requirement for most turbine-powered airplanes to start carrying approved terrain alerting avionics. The TAWS 8100 includes a graphics adapter that allows the unit to be used with a variety of EFIS and radar displays and an external GPS receiver. L-3 Avionics Systems plans to unveil the new product later this month at the NBAA Convention in Las Vegas.
