The Collins Aerospace ALT-1000 and ALT-4000 provide the highly reliable and accurate height information you need for each landing approach. With exclusive digital processing techniques, full end-to-end monitoring and critical-level software verification, the ALT-4000 supports CategoryIIIa automatic landing systems when installed in a dual or triple configuration and Category II aircraft certifications using a single radio altimeter. Easily upgrade to an ALT-1000 or -4000 from a Collins ALT-55B or ALT-50A radio by installing the available direct plug-and-replace versions.
