Universal Avionics Systems (Booth 723) recently received FAA TSO approval for its SCN 1001/1101 software for the company’s satellite-based augmentation system FMS/multi-mission management system (MMMS). The latest software release includes a number of new features and enhancements for better operational efficiency and to support special-mission operations.

Tucson, Ariz.-based Universal’s SBAS-FMS is available in three basic models (UNS-1Ew, UNS-1Fw and UNS-1Lw), plus the UNS-1Espw that is packaged into a reduced-depth module. The MMMS builds on the SBAS-FMS with additional interfaces and search pattern options for special missions.

Included in the SCN 1001/1101 software release are the FlexPerf trip performance function that provides advanced fuel-saving predictions, flight plan wind upload from the UniLink UL-800/801 communications management unit, maximum indicated airspeed display, improved selected crosstrack function and other enhancements. The software upgrade for the MMMS allows for the Airdrop module to be added, providing steering position offset for accurate delivery of air-dropped loads.
