The Avionics 2020 flight deck is ready for NextGen and Sesar’s advanced ATM requirements, according to Thales. For example, head of cockpit innovation Denis Bonnet pointed out that taxi route guidance is available.
Avionics 2020 also has capability for the airborne separation assurance system (ASAS), which enables an aircraft to stay behind the preceding one in a sequence, using a given time interval. “We are knowledgeable in air traffic management thanks to Thales’s ATM business,” Bonnet said.
