Weather can’t hide from the IntuVue RDR-7000 radar system

Weather-related delays, cancellations and damages are costly to aircraft operators annually. However, with the proper solutions, all these risks can be avoided.

Enabling better decision-making before bad weather strikes

The Honeywell IntuVue RDR-7000 Weather Radar System is the newest iteration of our solution for the weather challenges that aviators around the world are facing.

In a nutshell, this weather radar system gives business aviation and helicopter pilots meteorological insights. This translates to timely information that leads to safer, faster and more informed decisions before flying into bad weather and challenging environments.

Hailstorms, weather incidents and wind shears can generate effects that range from postponed flights to major flight safety threats and aircraft damages. Simply put, with the RDR-7000 we are providing a solution that is meant to help pilots prevent these incidents while creating a more pleasant flight experience.

RDR-7000: reliability, durability and accuracy in a modern package

We took the industry leading IntuVue weather radar technology in a lightweight, more powerful and easily retrofitted single line replacement unit to fit more business aircraft platforms. The RDR-7000 brings quality of life improvements for everyone on board such as:

• A more complete, real time view of the weather, which means the radar automatically and continuously scans the airspace up to 60,000ft, out to 320NM and +/- 60 degrees in azimuth
• Automated weather detection that displays significant weather without requiring manual tilt adjustment
• Reduced maintenance costs that translate to 80% improved mean time between unscheduled removal (MTBUR)
• Turbulence avoidance which comes with integrated weather detection functions like precise turbulence location and Hazardous weather alerting

We say the RDR-7000 Weather Radar System is an industry-leading solution for a simple reason: it brings a lot of features to the table that increases flight safety by reducing the workload on the aircrew and equipping aircrafts with best-in-class prevention tools.

Designed for safety

For more than 100 years, our focus was creating innovative solutions for all types of aircraft with the ultimate purpose of creating safer, more optimized experiences for all parties involved. The RDR-7000 is another strong example of our commitment.
