It provides on-aircraft control of a wide variety of options and it is compatible with legacy monitors as well as newer widescreen monitors with digital inputs.
• The Airshow iPad® app is now available with a simple system upgrade from a Rockwell Collins authorized dealer to give existing Airshow 4000 or Venue customers the benefits of more than 30 years of moving map expertise on the iPad. At NBAA, Rockwell Collins will be announcing new applications of the Airshow app on other mobile devices.

Service and Support

• Rockwell Collins recently announced it has signed on its 1,500th business aircraft for its Corporate Aircraft Service Program (CASP). CASP assures corporate aircraft operators maximize aircraft dispatchability while reducing life cycle costs and minimizing downtime. CASP offers corporate aircraft operators maintenance for avionics and cabin entertainment equipment. Rentals, exchanges, component repairs, comprehensive reliability upgrades, equipment removal and refit coverage are included. Consolidated annual billing, which is based on a forecast of annual operating hours received at the start of the annual program, covers each aircraft for an entire year.
• Rockwell Collins' Pro Line Fusion Desktop Trainer provides customers with the confidence to safely operate in today's active air-traffic control environment and pre-plan an actual flight. The trainer works to simulate an aircraft system by integrating product code with custom simulations. This desktop reuse of actual software allows pilots to learn new equipment faster, more effectively, which saves time and money, and increases safety.
