(n) the operation of the Flight Management Computer System (FMCS), Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS), Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS), Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) and any other specialized equipment installed in the private operator’s aircraft;

Other key features include a fully marinized structure and engines for continuous corrosion resistant operations in a maritime environment; extensive use of composites to increase resistance to corrosion fatigue; state-of-the-art crash-worthiness features in the areas of structural design, load attenuation, passenger safety, payload retention, fire suppression, and emergency escape; triple redundant digital fly-by-wire flight controls and hydraulic systems; Rolls-Royce AE 1107C engines, which share the same engine core as found on the CC-130J; modern avionics with glass cockpit displays; a number of radar options to include weather, maritime s ...[+++]earch, or terrain-following and terrain avoidance; an ice protection system, which includes both anti-ice and de-ice capabilities certified into known moderate icing—and most of our testing of that system was actually performed in Shearwater; and an open passenger and cargo cabin with roller rails, winch, hoist, and a rear loading ramp to provide the SAR techs with the clearance required to safely perform all necessary ground and airborne tasks. The V-22 program is in full production.
