Charts and weather graphics on tap for Primus Epic CDS/R

In a bid to gain a larger share of the market for retrofit cockpit systems, Honeywell is adding electronic charts and uplink weather functions to its Primus Epic CDS/R avionics system.

During a recent demonstration flight in a Cessna Citation V, Honeywell officials showed off the electronic Jeppesen navigation charts that can be called up on the system’s MFD. Pilots use a small cursor-control joystick to select the color charts and other features, all of which are integrated with the flight management system (FMS). TSO approval for the system is expected next year.
