Universal Avionics Systems Corp.
UNIVERSAL AVIONICS SYSTEMS CORP. received

FAA technical standard order authorization for the
company's new Flight Management System/MultiMissions Management System software version SCN
1002.0/1102.0. With the introduction of this software,
helicopter operators can now take advantage of
localizer performance level of service approaches and a
transition to hover search pattern.
The LP approach marks the fourth LOS supported by
Universal Avionics Satellite-Based Augmentation SystemFMS. The best approach LOS (lowest minimum decision
height) is automatically selected by the FMS, or the pilot
may manually select an available approach LOS after
FMS approach arming/before the final approach fix is

sequenced. This added capability allows operation of LP
approaches for 655 charted procedures serving 495 U.S.
airports, with more being added each month by the FAA.
In addition, the company announced that ground
testing for Heli-One's Sikorsky S-76B helicopter
upgrade program featuring a Universal Avionics flight
deck is now complete, with flight testing imminent.
The aircraft is operated by a VVIP operator in Asia.
The upgraded, modern glass cockpit includes the
installation of three EFI-890H Advanced Flight Displays
with Vision-1 Synthetic Vision System and a UNS1Fw Satellite-Based Augmentation System-Flight
Management System.
