First to engineer a combined GPS/IRS navigation solutions as an INS replacement for B747 fleet using the Honeywell GPS, which increased the navigation performance.
- Our engineering team wrote & developed the operating system specifications
- They defined, developed and produced ARINC 561 adapter racks for this project.
- Canard was responsible for the first installation and STC
- This same engineering concept is currently being engineered for a B747 fleet utilizing equipment from CMC (CMA-900 FMS/GPS) and Honeywell's ADIRS
First in avionics history to replace an Inertial Navigation System (INS) with a triple GPS as a sole means of navigation.
First to certify GPS (Trimble TNL 8100) as a sole means of navigation on air transport aircraft.
Installed dual/triple GPS as sole means of navigation on more than 100 DC-10 including Continentals entire DC-10 fleet
Engineered and installed SATCOM Systems on A340, A310, B767, B757, B757, B747-100.
- Certified and provided kits for the first Honeywell SATCOM on B767
- Certified and provided kits for the first Honeywell SATCOM on A340
Engineered & Installed On-Board Networking Systems with/without Gatelink (maintenance and /or cockpit applications) for MD-11, A300, and A310 fleets
Due to the FAA mandate for the DFDR expanded parameters, Canard had acquired a number of STC's and manufactured approximately 500 kits over a (2) year period for DC-9, MD-80, B737, B747, B757 aircraft.
Engineered and installed EGPWS (enhanced ground proximity warning systems) on B767 (including 44 kits for ANA), B747 and DeHavilland Dash 8 aircraft.
Engineered and installed Windshear in B747, A310, A300 and B727's.
