Rockwell Collins’ Pro Line Fusion flight deck lands on new Beechcraft King Air turboprops

Rockwell Collins reported that pilots flying new Beechcraft King Air 350i, 250 and C90GTx turboprops from Textron Aviation will experience intuitive, eyes-forward flying with its Pro Line Fusion flight deck. The system is expected to certify for all three new-production King Air models in the upcoming months, with aircraft deliveries to begin this summer starting with the King Air 250. Pro Line Fusion for the King Air features commercial aviation’s first touchscreen primary flight displays. The touchscreens bring pilots intuitive interactive maps, easy-to-use icons, and the ability to simply touch the items that they want to control. “Textron Aviation is enhancing its Beechcraft King Air line with an advanced, state-of-the-art avionics system that transforms pilot operations,” said Craig Olson, vice president and general manager, Business and Regional Systems for Rockwell Collins. “Now, whether flying a factory-new airplane or installing Pro Line Fusion as an upgrade in a fielded King Air, pilots will enjoy extensive situational awareness and a revolution in simplicity.”
