F100 Info Req'd

[jojava]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out what "FMS" system is on the F100, particularily American Airlines F100's. Is it a Honeywell ?

Also, is there any software or good reading material on that or the F100 specifically ?

Any other relevent comments would be appreciated !

Take care guys !!

It´s a Honeywell system, and very good it is too, although not as good as the latest Smiths. I don´t know of any manuals on it, but one word of advice. Don´t use Bill Bulfer´s book concerning the Honeywell system on the big Boeings. He himself points out that they are different from those of the F100.

Sorry, it´s been a few years now, and I only flew a batch of British registered ones. I think you´ll find the hardware pretty consistent, although the software may have different updates. Good luck in your search. (Thinks: I know this is a non-British computer, but why has it put an "r" before the apostrophe every time on both my posts ??)

When I was with Gill Airways the F100 (all ex US a/c) had the Honeywell FMS. I also do not remember the model. However our ground school was with KLM uk on this Wicat FMS CBT trainer (http://www.wicat.com/flight/other/introfms.htm) If that helps.

I assume this is for the new JETSGO F100's. Has anybody been hired for this a/c yet and do you know what the training bond is?
