Starr Safety Network Adds Honeywell FGV Approaches
Tool provides guidance for 100 airport runway ends
Honeywell FGV approaches join Starr Safety partnership

Honeywell's FMS guided visual (FGV) approaches—precision-like guidance for aircraft to runway ends without published instrument procedures—have been added to Starr Safety Partnership's network of service providers. 

The FGV approaches, coded as “RNAV H” procedures in the FMS navigation database, provide lateral and vertical guidance via strategically placed transitions around the airport. Pilots can fly the procedures manually or couple them to an autopilot. No regulatory approvals are required.
