ATR -600 Series

The major design objective of new ATR avionics’ suite is to provide the crew with the most realistic picture of the in-flight situation and the most comprehensive displays of the aircraft systems, in addition to ensuring growth for future navigation needs and communication means by the end of the decade.

Simplified, integrated LCD advanced functions will enhance safety, reliability, handling for pilots, while contributing to maintenance cost savings and weight reduction.
