Bendix/King also introduces new KMA 30 audio aircraft control system allowing for wireless communications in the cockpit

OSHKOSH, Wis., July 22, 2012 — (PRNewswire) — �Equipping pilots with sophisticated tools to simplify flight operations, Bendix/King, a division of Honeywell (NYSE: HON), today revealed myWingMan, a flight planning and in-flight navigation support application. myWingMan is an intuitive application that provides full enroute navigation on a moving map display, real-time weather information, and synthetic vision for improved flight navigation and safety. In addition, Bendix/King has unveiled a new KMA 30 Bluetooth®-enabled audio panel that enables simplified and always connected wireless communications in the cockpit.

Designed specifically for general aviation pilots, myWingMan features:

• An advanced synthetic vision system, which increases situational awareness by providing pilots with a real-time view of the location of the aircraft with relation to surrounding terrain and a compelling 3-D virtual view outside the cockpit, unencumbered by clouds, fog or darkness.
• Preflight planning, including a unique Smart Routing function, which automatically plots the best and most fuel efficient flight route and altitude.
• Sophisticated weather capabilities including airborne XM satellite weather that enables pilots to improve decision-making around inclement weather.
• Seamless interaction with certified aircraft systems, including the ability to synchronize flight plans and other data from myWingMan into the selected panel avionics such as the Bendix/King KSN 770 using the Aspen Connected Panel™ system.
• A clean user interface with both two- and three-way split-screen views of available charts and data so pilots can view multiple windows of information at one time and swap views by a simple drag-and-drop gesture.

KMA 30 Audio Panel Streamlines Communications in the Cockpit

The KMA 30 is a six-place (intercom for use in two-six seat aircraft) audio panel that improves pilots' flexibility and control of all radio and audio systems. It includes the following features:

• Flexible radio and music distribution is easily controlled during flight and enables the pilot to adjust how radio communications, cell phone audio and entertainment are distributed throughout the cockpit and to the passengers.
• Secondary radio monitoring options include Isolate mode, which ensures that communications on the primary radio are always heard; the secondary entertainment radio is automatically muted when frequency transmissions overlap.
• Pilot-controlled Bluetooth integration with cell phones and portable entertainment devices eliminates the need for audio wires in the cockpit.
• Recording and playback of recent radio transmissions through the approach control ensure that critical communications are received and understood, improving pilot and passenger safety.

Pricing and Availability

The myWingMan application will be offered as a free 60-day trial application in the near future. Following the trial period, myWingMan will be available via an annual subscription of $99 for VFR chart capabilities and $149 for IFR chart capabilities.

The new KMA 30 audio panel will be available starting July 23, 2012, for $2,300 (U.S.) MSRP from authorized Bendix/King dealers. To learn more, visit Bendix/King at booths 313, 314 and 2162 at the EAA AirVenture air show, July 23–29, at the Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis.
