The mix of veteran and new staff – expected to reach 140 to 150 within a year – operate under the new organizational structure Honeywell created for a division long plagued by a seeming disconnect from the rest of the conglomerate, including the part focused on avionics for turbine-powered aircraft. Thanks to the new freedom offered by the restructuring, “Soon, we’ll have an all-new product line,” company executives proclaimed in materials first circulated at the 2012 Aircraft Electronics Association International Convention & Trade Show and, days later, at Sun ‘n Fun 2012.

its launch in 1997, revolutionized light-plane panelmounted avionics. The key development: combining into one box conventional VHF comm and nav hardware, an IFR-approved GPS and a large color display that served as a multifunction display for navigation moving-map functions, as well as for weather and traffic data from external sources. The GNS 530, which came along in 1998, sporting a larger, higher-resolution screen to support all the same functions found in the GNS 430. The GNS 530W and GNS 430W, which through upgrade or new box enhanced the GPS with wide-area augmentation system capability and, thus, a new level of utility through WAAS-supported precision instrument approach capability.
