  • Hawker Beechcraft Announces Pro Line Fusion retrofit

Hawker Beechcraft chairman and CEO Bill Boisture

Hawker Beechcraft Global Customer Support (HBC) announced at NBAA 2011 in Las Vegas today that, together with Rockwell Collins, it has launched an aftermarket program to upgrade Pro Line Fusion displays to all fielded Pro Line 21-equipped Hawker and Beechcraft aircraft. The upgrade features large format, landscape, touch-control displays that come standard with the Synthetic Vision and visual flight management system, with a target price under $300,000 installed. HBC will initially offer upgrades to the King Air fleet followed by Hawkers and Premiers. Certification is expected before the end of 2013.

Christi Tannahill, Hawker Beechcraft, V-P, global customer support said, “In today’s world, touch screen technology is changing how we interact with our handheld devices. Making it available to our existing fleet of aircraft further enhances the value of those aircraft and the environment they operate in.”

The new Pro Line Fusion touch-control displays are globally networked with Rockwell’s’ Ascend Flight Information Solutions, meaning that users can update their onboard maintenance databases wirelessly.

Using a recaptcha to prove you're not a script

Spam is a scourge for all websites, so webmasters have to take measures to ensure that thier sites are protected. One of the best ways of protecting a site is to create a task on the signup/commenting forms, that only a human can do with reasonable accuracy. CAPTCHAs ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") as shown below ask you to read some distorted text, which the average computer finds very hard to do.

You can use the control buttons in the captcha to help you as follows.

Refresh Button - If you're having trouble working out the words to enter, you can request a new set of words, without having to submit your form by pressing the refresh button.

Audio Button - Alternatively if you have trouble with your vision, you can use the audio CAPTCHA, pressing the audio button will playback a set of words for you to type in.

The words you enter need not have the same uppercase/lowercase as the images shown, the system ignores case, likewise it only uses the characters a-z and 0-9, so you dont have to enter any odd characters, accents etc.

 
Please prove you're a real person and not a computer program up to no good.
