LINCOLN, NEB. – Duncan Aviation and Bendix/King by Honeywell have signed an agreement that gives Duncan Aviation exclusive rights to sell and service Honeywell’s Portable Cockpit Information system, the AV8OR Horizon 3D.
A portable Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) with 3D Synthetic Vision and IFR approach plates, the AV8OR Horizon 3D provides the ultimate in situational awareness. During flight, it generates and displays dynamic, realistic 3D imagery, showing a cockpit-like view regardless of external conditions. With optional NEXRAD satellite weather and 3D traffic detection, the system has been developed by pilots, for pilots, as a cost-effective solution to improve flight safety.
“We are excited about the opportunity to introduce this leading edge cockpit technology to operators of general aviation aircraft,” says Chris Gress, Sales Manager of Duncan Aviation’s Components Solutions team. “This reasonably priced AV8OR Horizon with synthetic vision gives the smaller aircraft operator very similar information and the improved safety features found in the cockpit displays of aircraft coming off the OEM lines today.”
On the ground, the AV8OR system can be used as a Tablet PC, running Microsoft Windows-based aviation software that allows the user to plan a route, download weather forecasts, save flight plans, and more.
