Singapore Airlines, the flag carrier of Singapore with its hub at Singapore Changi Airport has selected Rockwell Collins’ Dispatch℠ 100 avionics support and asset and maintenance management program for its Airbus A350 fleet. Based on the agreement, Rockwell Collins will provide Singapore Airlines with definite spares availability, technical support, repairs and performance monitoring on Rockwell Collins’ comprehensive suite of avionics systems.
This is the first Dispatch deal secured by Rockwell Collins for the A350 platform, which features a broad collection of the company’s avionics as standard, including:
• The Information Management On-board solution―a new airborne hosting platform for flight operations, aircraft maintenance and airline applications
• The communication system, which combines five separate packages into one, ensures management of the aircraft’s voice and data communications between pilots, flight crew, controllers and the airline
• The Multi-Mode Receiver provides Instrument Landing System, GPS Landing System and Space Based Augmentation System capabilities, as well as the aircraft’s position, velocity and time reference
• The Digital Low Range Altimeter (DLRA), the first digital radio altimeter for commercial aircraft, provides precise height measurements above terrain during aircraft approach, landing and climb-out phases of flight.
