UPS Brings Epic Avionics to Airbus A300s
UPS revitalizing the cockpit avionics and
embedded computing architecture of its Airbus A300 aircraft
with a new flight management computer,
central maintenance system and
better processing power.

Under an agreement with Airbus and Honeywell,
UPS will add an advanced flight management system (FMS),
a new integrated standby instrument system,
a central maintenance system and
new liquid crystal displays in place of the A300’s current cathode ray tube (CRT) cockpit displays.

Airbus to serve as the prime integrator for the upgrade of 52 total UPS A300s.

UPS considered purchasing a brand new air freighter-configuration aircraft,
but did not see any new options available on the market.
While neither Airbus nor Boeing have introduced any new air freighter types in recent years,
Lockheed Martin recently rolled out its first new commercial freighter version of the C-130J Super Hercules,
the LM-100J, out of its factory in Marietta, Georgia.

One of the unique aspects of the A300 avionics upgrade is that it uses processor cards installed in a cabinet
rather than individual components for aircraft functions,
such as the FMS, ACARS and CMS.

New aircraft functionality can be added in a more flexible way over time with software loaded onto the processor cards.
With this avionics system being software upgradeable over time
as new features, functions and capabilities are developed across the Primus Epic family of avionics,
UPS can apply them to this fleet of aircraft to keep them up to date and modern.

The new avionics package is based on the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite
and will also add a new Honeywell RDR 4000 weather radar system to the A300s.

By adding the new avionics,
UPS will have a satellite-based augmentation system-capable GPS,
as well as the ability to fly LPV and RNP AR routes.

UPS expects to earn certification on the upgrade by 2019,
with modification for the entire A300 fleet to be complete by 2022.
In addition to integrating the overall engineering,
Airbus will supply a modification service bulletin and modification kit including all required parts.
