Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker customers receive factory-direct
support, maintenance and modifications by Textron Aviation, a
Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, through a global network of
service and part centers, mobile service units and 24/7 1CALL AOG
support.
“The new cockpit technology upgrade for Hawker 4000 business
jets reduces pilot workload and offers improved efficiency,” said
Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support. “Our team
is committed to supporting customers throughout their ownership
experience and we made this option available through our global
service network based on their feedback.”
The FANS 1/A+ and PM-CPDLC program features:
- Ease of operation by quickly and accurately loading complex
instructions into the aircraft flight management system with the
push of a button
- Support for future FAA Next Gen Data Com capabilities
- Trajectory-based operations
- Improved re-routing of aircraft around severe weather events
and traffic congestion
- Prioritized departure clearances that can save several minutes
of wait time before takeoff
PM-CPDLC is similar to SMS text messaging used on a personal
cell phone. The technology uses prescribed text messages to enable
pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC) to request and authorize
clearances and flight plan changes quickly and accurately.
Customers can complete the program installation at selected
domestic Textron Aviation service facilities.
