Major air carrier selects Honeywell data-loading solution

One of the world's largest air carriers is the first to select Honeywell's Aircraft Data Gateway solution to quicken the transfer of data to and from an aircraft — regardless of the aircraft's location. The carrier selected Honeywell's solution to save time from the traditional data transfer methods, which use multiple data-loading or interface units. Now one affordable, lightweight device opens up a world of capabilities for the connected aircraft. Designed specifically for airlines, Aircraft Data Gateway-300 (ADG-300) is a single, compact unit that replaces multiple data-loading or interface units. Honeywell's solution will help the customer manage real-time aircraft loading status, and eliminate the need to produce and distribute software and database media disks. The ADG-300 will reduce the customer's data-loading times by up to 50%, thereby improving fleet operations and aircraft availability. The ADG-300 merges with electronic flight bags and pilot tablets, so flight crews can easily install the solution. By creating a way to wirelessly transfer data to and from an aircraft at any time, Honeywell's solution allows pilots and ground personnel to access in an instant the aircraft's performance data and operational status. In addition to the simplification and ease in collecting and managing data, Aircraft Data Gateway enables Connected Aircraft services such as Honeywell's GoDirect™ Connected Loading, GoDirect Connected Maintenance, GoDirect Weather and more to help the carrier further improve operational efficiency.
