Then go to this. Any connection?
Why do the Chinese authorities want to make this equipment compulsory?
China has to deal with several challenges such as increasing air traffic, the often unfavorable weather conditions and high rates of pollution. To remedy this, the authorities are rolling out a number of measures, including the compulsory use of HUDs.
All Chinese airlines will therefore need this equipment on board their aircraft. This affects not only Chinese airlines but also airlines from the Asia Pacific region who now enjoy privileged landing access in China. Once the HUDs become compulsory, these international airlines will need HUDs equipped on their aircraft or risk losing their privileged status, so the stakes are high!
What is the timeframe?
Deployment is made up of three stages. The first stage began in 2011/2012 and, as a resuly, each airline had to deploy the HUD on 10% of their fleet in operation in China regardless of aircraft type. We are now mid second stage, which runs from 2016 to 2020, by which time 50% of the airlines’ fleets operating in China will need to be equipped. This will entail a very strong increase in demand. Finally, by 2025, all civil aircraft operating in China will have to be equipped.
The execution order of the CAAC covers two axes. The first axis concerns HUD implementation on aircraft whilst the other concerns airports. The latter refers to the implementation of procedures enabling planes equipped with HUDs to benefit from specific minimum landing requirements, which is likely to result in increased traffic volumes as take offs and landings become more efficient.
