For operators looking to access more airports, increase safety, reduce crew workload or meet the changing regulatory compliance and airspace requirements, the Honeywell FMZ-2000 flight management system (FMS) version 6.1 upgrade contains significant improvements to the FMS and other navigation systems.

For more than 20 years, our FMZ-2000 has been the FMS of choice for pilots and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This latest upgrade builds on that legacy of value and delivers superior performance to continually exceed the requirements of modern airspace.

Required for the 2020 Future Air Navigation System (FANS) 1/A Mandate on the following aircraft:

Embraer Legacy 600 / 650
Dassault Falcon 900A / B / C / EX (Non-¬EASy)
Embraer Legacy 600 / 650
Gulfstream IV / IV-SP / V

Attention FMZ-2000 Operators Using Pre-FMS 6.1 Software

Beginning in January 2021, an end-of-life program will be initiated for software versions prior to FMS 6.1.

The end-of-life actions will not interrupt Navigation Database subscription service, but operators should plan to upgrade to FMS 6.1, or later, software as soon as feasible.

Operators who don’t upgrade to FMS 6.1 will experience price increases for Navigation Database subscriptions.

For more information regarding this end-of-life program, reference Honeywell Service Information Letter (SIL) D201604000032 Revision 3, or later. This SIL can be downloaded from the Honeywell MyAerospace Portal Technical Publications site.

FMZ 2000 Upgrade

Making the Premier FMS Even Better

Honeywell pioneered the entry of flight management system technology in the early 1980s.
The FMS put advanced tools at the flight crew’s fingertips. With a few keystrokes, pilots can enter a flight plan and compute the fastest, most fuel-efficient flight profile.
We’re proud of the role we’ve played in pioneering and advancing the science of flight with products like our groundbreaking FMZ-2000 FMS.
