Nextant Gains STC for Pro Line Fusion Avionics in Challenger 604s
Key Takeaways:
- Nextant Aerospace has received FAA approval for a supplemental type certificate (STC) for an upgraded software package for Challenger 604s equipped with Pro Line Fusion avionics.
- The upgrade resolves an issue where the original Fusion software lacked key flight management system (FMS) features like predicted performance, calculated thrust, and V-speeds, which previously required manual calculation.
- The new software restores these FMS capabilities and introduces additional functionalities, including FMS vertical situation display, European ATN B1 CPDLC, and RNP AR .3 approach functionality, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
- Available at no cost to current operators, the upgrade is currently undergoing validation with EASA, Transport Canada, and other international civil aviation authorities.
