Honeywell Survey: Operators Still Behind on Mandates
Honeywell surveyed AIN readers to find out how operators are preparing to meet new technical mandates.

Significant numbers of business aircraft operators have made little or no progress in complying with key avionics mandates, according to new research commissioned by Honeywell Aerospace with data gathered from AIN readers. The survey identified the mandates for ADS-B out, Fans/PM-CPDLC datalink capability and Fans-1/A (North Atlantic region) as the most pressing concerns. It also asked operators to indicate the level of readiness for eight different mandates, including Tcas 7.1, cockpit voice recorder/datalink recording, underwater locating device, flight data recorder and Single European Sky datalink service/Link 2000.
