Textron Aviation said its integrated terrain awareness and warning system (iTAWS) is now standard equipment on Collins Pro Line Fusion-equipped Beechcraft King Air 350i/ER turboprops. The new iTAWS works side by side with the Fusion’s synthetic vision system adding aural and visual warnings that appear on primary flight and multi-function cockpit displays. The integration effort also eliminated one more individual electronics box, as well as the associated wiring harnesses that held the earlier standalone TAWS systems.
