The IHAS Connection

While the KMD 550 and KMD 850 are powerful safety

tools in their own right, as part of the Integrated

Hazard Avoidance System (IHAS), their performance

is greatly enhanced.

The KMD 550 is available as part of the IHAS 5000

(for non-radar-equipped aircraft), while the KMD 850

is offered as part of the IHAS 8000 (for radar-

equipped aircraft). The Bendix/King IHAS systems

provide innovative, fully integrated solutions to meet

your safety needs.

IHAS systems encompass each of the four major

airborne safety systems; positioning, weather

avoidance, traffic advisories and terrain awareness.

All components work together to give you a clear,

comprehensive snapshot of conditions impacting your

flight – on one easy-to-read multi-function display.

When it HAS to be clear, it HAS to be capable, andit HAS to be comprehensive … count on IHAS.

SI M P L I C I T Y I S KEYScrolling through menus can delay important

flight safety information. With the KMD 550 and

KMD 850, the screen changes with the push of a

button – instantly displaying a clear picture of

current conditions. Unique Power KeysTM function

as dedicated buttons and programmable ‘soft’ keys

add flexibility for configuration and set-up use. The

KMD 550 and KMD 850 also allow you to tailor

the view of each safety sensor for range, overlays,

etc., and remember your last setting so that you see

what you want to see, when you want to see it.

SU R V E Y YO U R SU R R O U N D I N G SYour flight path is guided

by an extensive aeronautical,

cartographic and topographical

database. The highly

functional design allows you to

view a dozen ranges, from one

nautical mile to 2,000 nautical

miles, as well as use the cursor to determine airport

information,elevation of towers and special use

airspace, to name a few. All this information is

updated through a high-speed,high-capacity, front-

loading data card for quick and

easy database updates.

Turn topography off to

better highlight the airspace,

airports and victor airways.

When paired with the

KLN 94 enhanced interface, the

KMD 550 and KMD 850 display

holding patterns, procedure

turns and DME arcs.

PR E PA R E F O R WE AT H E RThe KMD 550 and KMD 850 are ready forany weather situation.

The KMD 550 and KMD 850

interface with the Goodrich

Stormscope®(WX-500 and

WX-1000E) to provide lightning

awareness at ranges from 25 to

200 nautical miles. The versatile

displays show cells or strikes at 360º or forward-

looking 120º views. A special red icon appears if

lightning is spotted within 25 nautical miles.

The KMD 550 and KMD 850

allow you to take advantage of the

newest technology in the cockpit:

data link weather. NEXRAD

graphics,METARs,TAFs, and a host

of other weather products are

accessible in-flight through the

KDR 510 digital receiver. And weather is just the

beginning of the services available through

Bendix/King WingmanTM Services.

TR A F F I C AS S E S S M E N TTraffic can be displayed via a number of traffic

sensors, including the Bendix/King KTA 870 Traffic

Advisory System (TAS) and the Bendix/King

KMH 880 Multi-Hazard Awareness System (pairing

TAS and an Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning

System), displaying traffic at eight ranges, from two

to 40 nautical miles.The active interrogation, dual

directional antenna system

will track up to 60 targets

and display up to 30.The

bearing accuracy rivals that

of the Honeywell TCAS

systems from which it gets

its technology ––at a more

economical cost for General Aviation.Three levels

of symbology, aural alerting, automatic page

switching (from the screen you’re on to the traffic

page when the system determines a conflict) and

traffic overlays complete the picture for the best in

traffic awareness. For those who need TCAS I, the

KMD 550 and KMD 850 also interface with the

KTA 970 or the KMH 980 Multi-Hazard Awareness

System, in addition to other Honeywell TCAS I

and II systems.

The KMD 550 and

KMD 850 also display Traffic

Information Service (TIS),

which uses the KT 73 Mode S

Data Link Transponder to relay

traffic information through

data link communication with

the FAA’s secondary surveillance radars. Transponder-

equipped aircraft within 3,500 feet above and 3,000

feet below your aircraft will be displayed at ranges up

to seven nautical miles.TIS is the most economical

way to get a TCAS-like view of the traffic around

your aircraft.

MA S S I V E OB S E R VAT I O N POW E RBendix/King brings its

popular Enhanced Ground

Proximity Warning System

(EGPWS), designed for Air

Transport, to General Aviation

through the Bendix/King

KGP 560 and KGP 860 EGPWS, as well as the

KMH 880 and KMH 980 Multi-Hazard Awareness

Systems (where EGPWS is paired with the traffic

awareness of the KTA 870 or KTA 970).

The KMD 550 and KMD 850 make terrain

surveillance effortless. Color shading is clear, and the

displays allow for 360º or forward-looking 120º

views.Terrain alerts are demonstrated by solid

coloring and aural alerts. Your screen will

automatically switch to display terrain when the

system determines a terrain alert.

CO M P R E H E N S I V E CAPAB I L I T YIn addition to displaying

positioning, weather, traffic and

terrain, the KMD 550 and

KMD 850 can optimize your

view through overlays.

Use the auxiliary function

to configure the display to your

preferred settings, including

adjusting the range at which

map icons (such as VORs or

cities) can be seen and setting

the view to track-up or North-up.

The auxiliary page can also be used to display

video, such as the output of forward-looking

infrared (FLIR) cameras. The video input is

NTSC-compatible.

The Outlook is ClearAt the heart of the Integrated Hazard Avoidance System (IHAS), the

Bendix/King KMD 550 and KMD 850 set new standards in situational

awareness, ease of operation and safety for General Aviation. Featuring a

razor sharp, five-inch-diagonal active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD),

the KMD 550 and KMD 850 function both as a display and controller for the

latest in moving map technology, weather avoidance, traffic advisories and

terrain warning. In addition, these new systems feature a unique-in-the-

industry distributed processor architecture that allows you to add processing

power as you add functionality. That way, you buy only the capability that

fits your needs and you can upgrade at any time and in any order.

The KMD 850 is radar-

capable, offering interface

potential to the high-

performance Bendix/King

ART 2000 and ART 2100

digital weather radars.

The ART 2000 and ART 2100 feature Vertical Profile®,

which allows you to alternate between a horizontal

and a vertical view of the storm.
