As an integral component embedded within our Pro Line 21? and Pro Line 4? avionics systems, the Rockwell Collins FMS-6000 flight management system for midsize and heavy business jets combines task-streamlining automation with multi-sensor navigation capability. It synchronizes lateral and vertical flight plans and assists crews in making decisions about the most energy- or time-efficient trajectories for each flight.

The FMS-6000 automatically flies Performance Based Navigation procedures that reduce track distance, flight time and fuel consumption when compared with conventional routes. Examples include SBAS/WAAS Localizer Performance with Vertical (LPV) approaches.

FMS-6000 automation assists with calculation of vital performance parameters: Vspeeds, weights, runway requirements and on some aircraft, climb gradients. If you have Pro Line 21 with electronic charts, our patented Chartlink? feature cues the origin, destination and alternate charts while you program your FMS-6000.

Key Features & Benefits
*Information synchronization: The FMS-6000 can synchronize, via data link, the remote loading of flight plans, wind information and en route wind updates.
*Eyes-forward scanning: All map and key text information appears on the Pro Line 21 primary displays.
*Available option for 3D flight plan map (on some aircraft types): Enhances collaborative crew planning for arrivals and departures.
*Available option for Long Range Cruise speed computation (on some aircraft types)
*Full profile, multiple waypoint vertical navigation
*True multi-sensor FMS navigation: Offers crucial backup when navigation satellite reception is degraded or unavailable.
*Performance Based Navigation-ready: Compatibility with all ARINC 424-specified leg types gives you access to new routes that reduce track distance, flight time and fuel consumption.
*RNAV RNP approach capable
*SBAS/WAAS LPV approach-capable versions available
*Multi-automation: Accommodates real-time air traffic instructions by automating lateral offsets, course intercepts, holding patterns and holding pattern entries.
*Scratchpad data entry: Enables rapid data entry and retrieval in a format already familiar to airline and large business jet crews.
