Bombardier is now offering an advanced avionics upgrade (AAU) for the Vision flight deck installed on in-service Global 5000/5500s and 6000/6500s, bringing those jets to the same configuration as factory-new Global 5500s and 6500s. The software upgrade, which is available from Bombardier service centers, was first applied to a Global 6000.
The AAU software “allows for installation” of Bombardier’s combined vision system (CVS) in Collins Aerospace-based Vision flight decks of in-service Globals. CVS integrates synthetic and enhanced vision system imagery in a single view. Other features with the AAU include improved message logic for the engine indicating and crew alert system; integrated flight information system; SiriusXM Weather enhancements; and electronic flight instrument system improvements for the head-up display, primary flight display, and synthetic vision system.
