Multi-Hazard Awareness System

Brand: Honeywell Bendix/King

With more than 10,000 TCAS II/ACAS II installations on more than 325 aircraft types, Honeywell is the overwhelming choice in collision avoidance for airline and corporate pilots. Honeywell has combined the unmatched flexibility of its integrated hazard avoidance system with the reliability and capability of an active-interrogation traffic advisory system (TAS) to create the KMH 980 multi-hazard awareness system. This system pairs the KTA 970, which delivers TAS, with the KGP 860 enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) - making this a powerful duo for safety in the sky.
