Visual and audio alerts about unstable approaches, a connected weather radar and more advanced avionics will be part of a fleet of more than 150 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft coming to United Airlines. Now, Honeywell has confirmed that the fleet will include a package of its cockpit avionics featured in the Boeing 737 MAX catalogue.
Included in the order for United are Honeywell’s IntuVue RDR-4000 weather radar system, SmartRunway/SmartLanding software package and an integrated multi-mode receiver.
A 2016 report from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on unstable approaches noted that approximately 65% of all recorded accidents occurred in the approach and landing phases of flight, and unstable approaches were identified as a factor in 14% of those approach and landing accidents.
