Honeywell successfully flew its new integrated Anthem flight deck for the first time using the company’s Pilatus PC-12 testbed, the company announced May 12. While the integrated flight deck has accumulated more than 120 hours’ of flight time during testing over the last year, this was the first time that a flight was entirely managed by the Anthem system, according to the company. 

The milestone flight took place over Phoenix and lasted for about one hour. Honeywell test pilot Ed Manning flew the PC-12 testbed with copilot Bill Lee, with support from flight engineers Paul Carter and Will Quinn.
