The CNX80 will be the first navigator approved under the FAA’s
new TSO C-146a. Only C-146a devices can be approved for primary navigation
and are required to meet more stringent environmental qualifications,
satisfy higher software integrity levels with new leg types and transitions,
while insuring improved integrity and availability during precision approach
operations.
The FAA’s new Wide Area Augmentation System or WAAS dramatically
improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability of GPS. The CNX80
incorporates a new 15-channel WAAS receiver designed by UPS Aviation
Technologies specifically for airborne applications. GPS position is
computed 5 times per second with vertical and horizontal accuracy of
2-meters, improving safety while dramatically increasing cockpit capabilities.
Capabilities like primary navigation during the en route, terminal,
and approach phases of flight enabling the use of GPS for approach procedures
with vertical guidance into 100’s and eventually 1,000’s
of airports without an existing precision approach. And in the very near
future you will be able to use the CNX80 to fly new GLS approaches providing
the accuracy and safety of an ILS. WAAS is just the start of a long list
of CNX80 features and benefits. The navigator is loaded with the most
advanced features ever developed starting with Airway depiction and navigation.
Included in the comprehensive Jeppesen database are pre-stored navaids,
airspace, all DP’s and STAR’s, Instrument
Approach Procedures including ILS’s, holding patterns, procedure
turns, and missed approach procedures. Available at your fingertips this
information can be entered into any flight plan, but what makes the CNX80
different from other navigators is the unit’s ability to provide
guidance on these procedures and approaches from takeoff rotation to
landing flare.
Imagine filing a flight plan receiving your clearance and programming
the approved flight plan in the exact same manner. For example, if assigned
a clearance from Portland to Seattle via the River Six Departure, direct
BTG VOR-V495-SEA. The CNX80 lets the pilot quickly insert standard procedures
and airways exactly as assigned by ATC. Trips can be easily tailored
to use “mixed” flight plans with efficient direct-to routing
or airways with only a few button presses.
The CNX80 couples guidance information directly to autopilots accepting
roll-steering commands and flies the aircraft waypoint to waypoint, airway
to airway, automatically transitioning through holding patterns, procedure
turns, vectors to final, and on to the intended approach. The CNX80 anticipates
every new leg change, intercepts the new course with the accuracy and
precision of more expensive air transport systems. This new addition
to our product line utilizes the best of space and ground based navaids
to provide seamless navigation when transitioning between WAAS/GPS to
VOR/ILS. Built-in switching and annunciation simplifies installations
and improves reliability.
The CNX80 also includes our patented Nav/Comm features including Standby
frequency monitoring which lets pilots listen to transmissions like ATIS
and AWOS or the emergency channel without leaving the active frequency.
Our patented Nav receiver automatically decodes and displays the Morse
code station identifier for any tuned VOR/LOC/ILS. The pilot can use
one nav receiver to cross check position fixes, a handy feature during
approach operations.
The CNX80 is also the first integrated navigator designed for general
aviation with voice prompting and audio alerting. For instance, when
a count down timer expires or upon waypoint arrival, an audio ding is
generated through the intercom alerting the pilot. In addition, the CNX80
will also say “localizer alive” when the needles begin deflecting
during an ILS approach, and at 500 feet above the runway during an approach
the unit will announce “500.” The CNX80 will also advise
the pilot at the missed approach point by announcing “Missed Approach
Point.”
Multiple checklists can be customized and entered into the CNX80 and
referenced during flight and there are 2 general count up or down timers,
one programmable flight timer and one trip timer.
The CNX80 is by far the most advanced integrated avionics system available
for general aviation and is designed to work in concert with the popular
MX20 multi-function display. The MX20 creates a benchmark for situational
awareness in the cockpit and received the “Aviation Consumer Magazine” Product
of the Year award in 2001. Additional features and tighter integration
are available when the MX20 is paired with the CNX80.
Changing ranges on the CNX80 automatically controls ranges on the MX20.
Even more impressive is when an approach is selected on the CNX80; the
approach plate is automatically depicted on the MX20 with Chart View.
This combination greatly reduces pilot workload and is simply unbeatable
for situational awareness in all phases of flight.
A new split screen feature for the MX20 has also been added to allow
side-by-side displays of any two MX20 charting functions. Terrain mapping
on one side and VFR sectionals on the other , Weather Radar depictions
with an IFR en route chart, an Approach Chart with Custom Map, any combination
can be viewed side-by-side. In addition, a new vertical profile image
can be viewed at any time on the MX20. Pilots can view terrain peaks
and obstructions relative to the current flight level along the entire
route of flight. Conflicts are easily seen and avoided for the ultimate
in terrain awareness. The CNX80 and MX20 are powerful additions to any
panel.
