Helicopters
FlightLogic makes it easy to fly the safest, most accurate approach possible in your helicopter.
With the Highway-In-The-Sky (HITS) technology, you can quickly create and fly a precision GPS approach with definable descent angle to any point, including rooftops, oil platforms, or to lat/lon coordinates received in flight.
On the Primary Flight Display, you see the Highway-In-The-Sky as a virtual tunnel of green boxes. You simply fly your helicopter through the green boxes, greatly simplifying many common helicopter procedures. For example, to comply with noise abatement regulations, simply define a custom GPS approach once and recall it as needed. Or plot a precise search-and-rescue grid in minutes and then fly it with astonishing accuracy.
Another exclusive FlightLogic feature—the hover vector—makes zero-zero landing incredibly easy, all but eliminating the danger of whiteout and brownout accidents. Plus, it’s ideal for surveillance and precision long-line work where exact stationkeeping is required.
In addition, the 3D Synthetic Vision of the FlightLogic EFIS dramatically increases safety.
You see conformal obstructions and terrain displayed on the Primary Flight Display in real time. The situational awareness this provides is astonishing. Even when weather or darkness prevents you from seeing what’s ahead of and around your helicopter...you are still able to “see” what’s ahead of and around your helicopter! To further elevate safety, FlightLogic features integrated Helicopter TAWS that delivers visual and audio alerts when towers, buildings, antennas and other obstructions pose a hazard to your helicopter. The predictive flight path feature even alerts you to danger in your future flight path, helping you avoid turning into trouble.
With its GPS/WAAS, advanced HUD symbology, NVG compatibility and total system integration, FlightLogic is arguably the most revolutionary achievement in avionics in 50 years for helicopters.
