LAS VEGAS, Nov. 15, 2015 — BendixKing, a division of Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON), and Blackhawk Modifications of Waco, Texas, will promote the AeroVue integrated flight deck for Beechcraft King Air 200 aircraft. Blackhawk is a well-known modification center for Pratt & Whitney engine upgrades and will offer a program in conjunction with BendixKing for an AeroVue integrated flight deck and engine upgrade to the Model 200 King Air.
“We believe AeroVue represents an unparalleled value in the space, as it brings many of the same technologies found in the Honeywell Primus Epic flight deck from Part 25 business jets to King Air operators,” said Justin Ryan, president, BendixKing. “We are excited to begin delivery of our product and our relationship with Blackhawk to expand the opportunities for both engine and avionics upgrades to these aircraft. AeroVue represents some of the best technology available today, and the addition of an engine upgrade brings enhanced capabilities to the King Air 200 operators.”
Blackhawk’s Performance Packages for the King Air 200 series harness the power of the Blackhawk organization, and its unparalleled experience and expertise, to deliver a complete and proven performance solution to King Air operators, as well as seamless installation and customer-focused service from a worldwide network.
BendixKing’s work on the AeroVue Supplemental Type Certificate for the Beechcraft King Air 200 is expected in Q1 2016, and certification work is now underway for the King Air B200 model. The Blackhawk engine modifications will be performed through the Blackhawk dealer organization.
Blackhawk and Honeywell will work together on King Air 200 aircraft demonstrations during Q1 2016, highlighting to existing customers the upgraded capability of the King Air 200.
