Avionics needs for business aircraft operators today converge on airspace, air traffic control, and safety, according to Marc Ayala, senior director of business and regional avionics sales at Collins Aerospace (Booth V72). He points to technologies such as controller pilot datalink communication (CPDLC), required navigational performance (RNP), and automated position reporting.

“Operators need avionics that provide safety features such as collision avoidance systems, terrain awareness and warning systems, weather radar, and automated emergency descent systems. Operating in increasingly complex environments requires crews to adapt, and they are looking for more tools to automate tasks. Avionics should optimize operators’ flight paths, reduce fuel consumption, and increase their aircraft’s overall efficiency,” he said.
