Columbia Aircraft Offer 9900BX TAS and Entegra Integrated Flight Deck as Options on Columbia 350 and 400Columbia Aircraft offers Avidyne’s 9900BX Traffic Advisory System (TAS) as a standard factory option on its Columbia models, which include the 350 and 400. The 9900BX TAS can display on either of Columbia's Integrated Flight Deck offerings, Avidyne’s Entegra system, or the Garmin G1000 system. In the Entegra-equipped aircraft, the 9900BX also can display traffic information on the dual GNS430s for additional safety and redundancy.
The Avidyne 9900BX TAS warns of a potential collision by calculating range, bearing, and altitude of intruder aircraft relative to the host aircraft. The system is designed with top and bottom patented directional antennas providing a complete and accurate protection shield over twenty miles. The patented antenna system assures optimal reception with minimal interference from the host aircraft’s own airframe. The 9900BX TAS is engineered with Avidyne's innovative “Heads-Up Audible Position Alert” that annunciates an alert when a traffic threat is detected: “Traffic! One O’clock high! Two miles!”.
Avidyne’s Entegra Integrated Flight Deck System, offered as a standard option by Columbia, complements the Columbia 350 & 400 aircraft’s design for performance, safety, utility, comfort & style, while dramatically increasing situational awareness and reducing pilot workload, while also saving weight and space. Entegra's integrated EMax™ engine instrumentation and fuel management capabilities improve aircraft engine management and fuel consumption. Entegra’s innovative “lean assist” function and “percent power” indicator reduce pilot workload and optimize aircraft performance. Entegra provides the state of the art in situational awareness, safety, and reliability. Aircraft OEM SystemsCirrusColumbiaDiamondEurocopterPiper
