General Aviation Electronic Pilot Reports ARNAV Systems, Inc., Puyallup, WA: General Aviation Electronic Pilot Reports ARNAV Systems, Inc., Puyallup, WA Innovation
Graphical display of Weather Information (not data) in the Cockpit made possible through low cost, datalink for ground to cockpit transmission for General Aviation; provides “e-mail” messaging from the cockpit.
Accomplishments
Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) navigation, graphical display on cockpit management systems, and wireless datalink communications technology, has formed the hardware basis for the Weather in the Cockpit System Commercialization
Sales of DataLink & Display Products exceeded $1 million in 1997, expected orders in excess of $30 million over next 5 years
Equipment used in 100 aircraft for Operation Helistar during 1996 Olympic Games, the largest ever “Free Flight” demonstration
Equipment credited by the FAA in saving 50+ lives during 1995-96 in Emergency Medical use in Chattanooga, TN
Government/Science Applications -Weather Display on its Moving map for situational awareness
Two-way datalink communications& Cockpit Display of Traffic
Partnerships created with major weather research vendor - NCAR to improve hazardous weather prediction & depict it intuitively for future GA cockpit. The technology creates a reduction in pilot work load and
improve safety Points of Contact:
