Rockwell Collins last week said it had received Technical Standard Order (TSO) approval from the FAA for its Pro Line 21 Integrated Display System (IDS), clearing the way for the systems to be installed on aircraft equipped with Rockwell Collins AP-105 and APS-65 autopilot systems. In addition to the AP-105 and APS-65 autopilots, Pro Line 21 IDS also interfaces with the APS-85, APS-80, and SPZ-500 autopilots. According to the company, the Pro Line 21 IDS offers operators an avionics upgrade path without the full expense normally associated with major retrofits.
