Collins’ Pro Line Fusion advanced avionics system became factory standard equipment for the King Air 90, 200 and 300 series in 2015. Textron Aviation announced this upgrade in late 2014, with deliveries beginning in early 2015. The 250 model was the first to integrate Fusion as part of Textron’s factory-issued modernization initiatives. The 350 system became standard later that same year.
The Pro Line Fusion suite features intuitive touchscreen displays and advanced communication, navigation and surveillance tools, integrating synthetic vision, enhanced navigation and simplified flight planning for greater pilot control and efficiency.
The Pro Line 21 system provides a fully integrated, reliable digital cockpit with high-resolution displays and
streamlined communication, navigation and surveillance capabilities designed for enhanced situational awareness and workload reduction.
“Thousands of King Airs were installed with Pro Line 21 avionics during the turn of the century and through the mid-2010s, with the system still the most widely used avionics suite for King Air aircraft,” Voight said. “Fusion installations have also steadily increased with new production King Air models offering Fusion avionics as standard equipment beginning midway through the last decade, amounting to around 600 installed aircraft. Additionally, Collins has offered King Air operators various system upgrades to existing Pro Line 21 and Pro Line Fusion systems throughout the years, maintaining Collins’ position on the initial install base.”
Collins said this modernization initiative, which also encompasses several Hawker aircraft, is supported by a customer service program that includes a dealer network and install base. Collins is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and is a division of RTX. Learn more at collinsaerospace. com. KA
