The bright and even light generated by the LEDs ensures that there are no dark areas within the aircraft. The LED lighting can be illuminated in various colour tones (warm/day/cool white). The cabin lighting can also be dimmed in steps with no dimming modules necessary, while, at the same time, the built-in constant current control devices eliminate the need for external control boxes. The easy-to-install cabin lighting emits very little heat and has low maintenance costs. The aesthetic design and performance of the lighting system is much improved in comparison with first-generation LED lighting and the lightweight design ensures that no unnecessary weight is added to the aircraft. Finally, the cabin lighting system consumes up to 30% less power than traditional fluorescent lighting systems.

Integration with the Cabin Management System, which is facilitated by the simple system architecture, allows for the utilisation of the sunset and sunrise modes.

RUAG MRO International successfully installs ICG eRouter on Global Express jet

Always connected Following the successful installation of the new onboard eRouter, RUAG MRO International has delivered the aircraft to the customer and the service is already in operation. The project has been a complete success, with registered bandwidths of above 800 kbps and data speeds of between 1.2 – 1.5 Mbps over dual channel Swift BB X-Stream with aggregation, managed by eRouter.

This will allow users to enjoy YouTube streaming in real time, for example, or send messages via the Aerochat app in flight.

Responding to customers’ needs Prior to the eRouter, customers frequently experienced low bandwidths or had zero in-flight Internet access. The benefit of RUAG’s new service is that the eRouter can be installed in virtually all aircraft. Furthermore, RUAG eRouter modification is approved by the EASA, FAA and TCCA for the first time on Bombardier Global Express aircraft platform, meaning that customers around the globe stand to benefit from the cost-effective offering.

Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) Approach Capability Land at more airports more often due to lower LPV minimums, which typically amount to between 200 and 300 ft.

LPV approaches already outnumber ILS approaches in the US, with the number of LPV approaches in Europe continuously increasing. Satellite-based vertical guidance to airports is not equipped with ILS, or it is out of service with ILS. The way in which the system works is similar to ILS approaches and there are no temperature restrictions. Enhanced satellite navigation is utilised during all phases of flight due to the use of Space Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signals (WAAS in the US, EGNOS in Europe). The LPV is not dependent on airport equipment.

Polishing and Finishing Services

Polishing and high-gloss shine ensure longer-lasting brilliancy and increased value preservation.

Choosing to pay careful attention to the condition of the surface of your aircraft is not just an aesthetic choice but it makes practical and economic sense, as well. Flying takes its toll on surface finishes and paintworks.

Different weather patterns, runway conditions, atmospheric abrasive elements and oil and fuel deposits can all leave their mark on your aircraft in the course of time. Residue and uneven surfaces can progressively worsen and may cause cleaning and corrosive issues. Our surface preparation and finish application services are available to enhance the protection and preservation of your investment. Matt surfaces are dramatically improved by expert polishing and residue resistant finishing. Select a light or deep polish and high-gloss coating on a regular basis and the paintwork will sustain its brilliancy and protect against corrosion.

The improved appearance incurs no added weight but does boost protection, durability and prolonged market value.
