Announcing – The Bendix/King AV8OR(TM) Series

    Three New Systems in AV8OR(TM) Series Announced - AV8OR(TM) Handheld

  Multi-Function Display, and AV8OR(TM) Horizon 3D and AV8OR(TM) Vision 3D

             Cockpit Information Systems with Synthetic Vision



    OSHKOSH, Wis., July 29 /EMWNews/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON),

a leader in aircraft navigation and safety systems, used the occasion of

EAA's 2008 AirVenture Oshkosh to announce the launch of its new Bendix/King

AV8OR(TM) Series -- portable avionics for general aviation pilots.



    



    "The new Bendix/King AV8OR(TM) Series includes a variety of powerful,

portable GPS navigation solutions, including the new MSRP $749 AV8OR(TM)

Handheld Multi-Function Display and two synthetic-vision equipped portable

cockpit information systems -- the AV8OR(TM) Horizon 3D and AV8OR(TM)

Vision 3D," said Dan Barks, Director, General Aviation Aftermarket

Avionics.



    "These new systems bring pilots enhanced situational awareness in the

cockpit and flexibility offered by a portable system. Each of these new

AV8OR(TM) Series systems," Barks said, "were designed and developed as a

result of customer input from pilots, dealers and others in the general

aviation industry."



    The AV8OR(TM) Horizon 3D and AV8OR(TM) Vision 3D include synthetic

vision graphical rendering of the environment providing the pilot with a

realistic view of the aircraft position and situation outside of the

cockpit, by providing the pilot with real-time satellite weather

information, topographic terrain and aeronautical navigation information.

The systems are an asset to both VFR and IFR pilots that seek enhanced

situational awareness with the flexibility offered by a portable system.



    The AV8OR(TM) Horizon 3D includes a modern Samsung tablet PC with high

resolution touch-screen display. The AV8OR(TM) Vision 3D features a

ruggedized, ultra-high brightness touch-screen display and remote-mounted

computer module. Both systems include air data sensor, attitude heading and

reference system and GPS. Both interface with optional traffic sensors and

datalink weather receivers, and both display approach plates for enhanced

safety and convenience.



    The AV8OR(TM) Handheld system also provides advanced GPS navigation

tools for automotive usage.



    "The AV8OR(TM) Handheld is ideal for any pilot that requires GPS

navigation in the air or in the car, real-time weather, and navigator

graphical moving map, with built-in entertainment system," Barks said. "In

addition to pilot-specific features, the AV8OR Handheld includes an

all-in-one multimedia player with the ability to view or play music,

movies, pictures and electronic books. The AV8OR(TM) Handheld is much more

than an aviation GPS unit -- it's a handheld Multi-Function Display that

pilots will want to keep with them from the car to plane, and even at their

destination, for entertainment."



    The AV8OR(TM) Handheld's high resolution 4.3-inch diagonal

touch-screen, easy to use interface and innovative features such as 'Smart

Profile' set a new standard in navigation at a suggested price almost every

pilot can afford, Barks added. Smart Profile view is a unique vertical

profile view of the flight path relative to terrain, airspace and

obstacles. The AV8OR Handheld graphical interface makes in-flight

navigation simple, with an on-screen keyboard, "Touch-and-See"

identification of map objects, and "Touch-and-Drag" map panning.



    The AV8OR Handheld is designed with an external interface to WxWorx XM

Satellite Weather receiver available separately, and enables graphical

NEXRAD, METARs, Storm Cell Tracks, AIRMETs/SIGMETs, Text METARs/TAFs, and

more. The built-in multimedia system allows pilots to create library of

music, movies, photos and electronic books on the included 4GB SD Card. The

unit also includes a Bluetooth(R) interface for wireless weather, an

interface to an alternate GPS receiver and even an interface to cellular

phones.



    The AV8OR(TM) Handheld is available through select Honeywell

Bendix/King dealers at a manufacturer suggested retail price of $749. In

addition, through an exclusive deal between Honeywell and WxWorx, customers

who purchase any of the three AV8OR models will receive a coupon good for

$250 off select WxWorx receivers.
