Rockwell Collins’ Pro Line Fusion^® avionics upgrade for Pro Line II-equipped King Air B200 and B300 series aircraft has been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The upgrade previously was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2016.

JetSupport B.V., headquartered in Amsterdam, is the first European dealer to complete a Pro Line Fusion upgrade for the King Air B200, which completed its first flight on Sept. 4.
