Honeywell Prepares First Chinese Aural Cockpit Alerts
Next year, Chinese helicopter operators will start using the Mandarin Chinese version of its EGWPS system.

Honeywell Aerospace is preparing to introduce the world’s first aural cockpit alerts in Mandarin Chinese, following the FAA’s recent approval of the software upgrade for its Mk XXII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS). Subject to approval by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the modified system could enter service in helicopters at several Chinese operators in 2017.
