Malaysia Airlines has agreed a partnership with Thales to install avionics equipment on board 20 of its Airbus A330neo aircraft.
Thales’ signature avionics equipment, the Flight Management System (FMS) and ACSS’ Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (T3CAS) are part of the agreement.
According to Thales, its FMS includes powerful hardware and the latest certified Airbus Release 1A software which has reactivity and unique features for flight crew, such as a secondary flight plan, realistic navigation trajectory computations, and FMS Landing System capabilities (FLS).
Thales says its ACSS’ T3CAS is the first ADS-B Out DO-260B compliant transponder on the market and combines communication and surveillance into a single small, lightweight system for advanced safety, enhancing the pilot’s situational awareness using precise, real-time in-flight data of surrounding aircraft.
