Honeywell Anthem replaces up to 25 separate certified avionics boxes with a single integrated computing platform, now shipping on new-build ATR 72 aircraft.
Two ADS-B-compliant aircraft can be invisible to each other due to America's dual-frequency mandate - understanding why matters most in mountain terrain.
FLYING Magazine's August 2025 picks span EFB integration, wearable health monitors, ANR headsets, and simulator tools - with critical context on using each safely.
Synthetic vision technology gives instrument pilots a continuous 3D terrain picture generated in real time from GPS and elevation data, dramatically reducing CFIT accidents in general aviation.
The FAA's 2014 policy change eliminated TSO certification requirements for advisory AOA displays, cutting installation costs from $6,000 to under $2,000 and finally bringing military-proven stall prevention technology within reach of every certificated aircraft.
Honeywell's Anthem is a clean-sheet avionics suite with native cloud connectivity targeting light jets and turboprops, where Garmin has dominated for over a decade.
GPS spoofing is silently falsifying aircraft positions across the Middle East, Baltic, and Caspian regions, exploiting a fundamental authentication gap in ADS-B that has no short-term fix.
WAAS delivers ILS-equivalent precision guidance to over 4,000 U.S. airports using satellite-based error correction - here's how it works and what it means for IFR pilots.
TIS-B relays radar targets to your ADS-B display with up to 15-second latency, and ground station coverage disappears below 3,000–10,000 feet depending on terrain.
Honeywell Anthem's partitioned architecture represents a fundamental shift in how certified avionics software is built and updated - and the HondaJet Elite Two is its proof of concept.
The 2017 FAA Part 23 rewrite made AoA indicators financially viable for GA aircraft, directly addressing one of aviation's most persistent fatal accident categories.
The Garmin GFC 500 brings digital autopilot technology and a one-button Level function to aging piston aircraft, directly targeting GA's leading cause of fatal accidents.
Garmin Smart Glide automates the first 60 seconds of an engine failure - glide math, airport selection, and radio setup - while leaving the landing to you.
