HGS 4000 now standard on BBJ
Boeing announced that it will install the Rockwell Collins Flight Dynamics head-up guidance system, the HGS 4000, as standard equipment on all BBJs, including the BBJ2.

Boeing announced that it will install the Rockwell Collins Flight Dynamics head-up guidance system, the HGS 4000, as standard equipment on all BBJs, including the BBJ2.

A head up guidance system displays critical flight path data on a holographic glass combiner between the pilot and the windscreen. As well as flight information, it also shows an instrument approach and landing guidance information.

The HGS 4000 features improved low visibility take-off guidance, and new display features such as runway deceleration cueing and runway length remaining.

“The most advanced feature of the HGS 4000 will be its ability to display upgraded raster images,” said Mike Hewett, chief pilot at Boeing Business Jets. “This will allow the system to be integrated with future enhanced vision systems, synthetic vision systems and surface guidance system technology.”
