Business jet operators flying with Honeywell NZ-2000 flight management systems are responding to an FAA airworthiness bulletin describing a software glitch that could send airplanes to the wrong instrument arrival waypoint.

The FAA has issued special airworthiness information bulletins NM-10-12 and NM-10-13 to address an issue with software for NZ-2000 and FMZ-2000/IC-615/IC-800/IC-1080 Primus Epic flight management systems. Affected units are installed on a wide range of business jets manufactured by Cessna, Bombardier, Dassault Falcon, Gulfstream, Hawker Beechcraft and Embraer.
