Adding value where it counts
Just as Pro Line Fusion saves you time and effort in flight, it also trims those elements in the upgrade itself. The system’s open, scalable architecture makes your upgrade as quick and cost effective as possible.Having problems with your communications radios? We didn’t think so. Why throw out solid equipment that works for you behind the scenes?
Because Pro Line Fusion is made by Collins Aerospace, the same company that made your current Pro Line II or Pro Line 21 avionics, it integrates with your aircraft’s major behind-the-scenes components. That means you can save cost and downtime by keeping your current autopilot and radios, and place your investment where you'll see the biggest return.
Its open architecture also positions your aircraft for easy, cost-effective upgrades – often as simple as a software download – so you can operate within the evolving environment of NextGen.
