Overview

Universal Flight Management Systems (FMS) offer the quickest, most efficient means of creating a flight plan and a pilot-friendly approach to altering plans. Information is at your fingertips, including real-time fuel management to eliminate unnecessary fuel stops, saving time and money. Fly complex procedures accurately with enroute navigation for holding patterns, approaches, heading to altitude, and more. Access extensive navigation databases with quick and efficient ways to enter data.

The UNS-1Fw is comprised of an FPCDU and a remotely mounted Navigation Computer Unit (NCU). Three FPCDU options are available:
  1. compact FPCDU with 4-inch color display
  2. standard FPCDU with 5-inch color display
  3. a Multi-Function CDU (MCDU) for airlines and special missions

The NCU is housed in a 2-MCU-sized LRU which includes the integral GPS/SBAS receiver.

The UNS-1Fw incorporates extensive I/O capabilities for advanced system integration and includes twice the number of ARINC ports available as the UNS-1Lw.
