Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. announced today that it has developed its NextGen Cockpit/IP® II flight deck for business and general aviation aircraft. The Cockpit/IP II is an advanced next generation design that includes significant innovations in aircraft systems design to improve overall operations, direct operating costs, technology, comfort and performance. The system supports dual flight management systems, electronic-charts, satellite weather, synthetic vision, integrated TAWS and enhanced vision (FLIR) and has been developed from the experience gained on commercial air transport and OEM programs.
Innovative Solutions & Support's President Shahram Askarpour stated, "The Cockpit/IP II flight deck is one of the most advanced cockpits available on any aircraft. The microprocessors in the IS&S displays control all major aircraft systems including Electronic Flight Bag applications, Radios, Transponders and Radars. FMS precision navigation and Synthetic Vision give pilots unrivaled performance. The Cockpit/IP II has a 60% larger display area and more display pixels than latest generation aircraft and is fully compliant with NextGen requirements for RNP and ADS-B."
The Integrated Flight Management System features include:
• Coupled WAAS/LPV Approaches
• Full RNP compliance to DO-236B with better than 0.1 nm precision
• Required Time of Arrival (4D trajectory to each waypoint)
• Dual Flight Management System with Synthetic DME capability
• Dual IS&S Beta 3 GPS Receivers compliant with ADS-B out requirements
• Accuracy < 3m <1m differential
• ADAHRS
• Dual remote radio controls
