People, Products and Milestones TrueNorth Avionics tRUenoRtH AV i o n i c S TrueNorth Avionics’ TrueNorth Stylus announced it is now an EASA Part-145 approved organization, complementing its Transport Canada and FAArecognized status as an approved manufacturer for aeronautical products and an approved maintenance organization. This approval will enable TrueNorth to provide even better support to its growing base of customers and dealers in the European Union. • In other news… TrueNorth Avionics announced the introduction of business aviation’s first multilingual handset, the TrueNorth Stylus, which also incorporates TrueNorth’s intuitive, one-button inter- face; HD voice quality for near broadcast-quality voice communications; wired and wireless configuration options; and personalization options that include custom materials to match the décor of any cabin or aircraft interior. Designed to match the footprint of TrueNorth’s previous-generation handsets, the Stylus is the first sleek, modern interpretation of an airborne handset design, and can be programmed to operate in any language, including those with dedicated character sets such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Russian.

This latest configuration of Pro Line Fusion includes the industry’s first touch-control primary flight displays, integrated heads-up synthetic vision and autonomous backup flight control modes. Additional features include MultiScan weather threat detection and full integration with Ascend flight information solutions. “Previously, advanced functionality such as synthetic vision on heads-up displays and automated weather radar were only available for larger aircraft,” said GReG iRMen, vice president and general manager, business and regional systems for Rockwell Collins. “Pro Line Fusion now brings these capabilities and more to the entire range of business aircraft − from turboprops to intercontinental business jets.” Pro Line Fusion was certified in June on the Bombardier Global 6000 longrange business aircraft. The system has been selected for 11 announced aircraft platforms across the business aviation, commercial air transport and military market segments. The proven scalability of the Pro Line Fusion software, combined with advanced hardware features, such as embedded display processing and highly integrated sensors and radios, are key elements of making the system small enough for turboprops and light jets, while bringing more functionality and value to aircraft manufacturers and operators. The system will be available for new aircraft applications as well as a display retrofit for turboprops and light jets equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Certification is expected by the end of 2013.
