Collins Aerospace Tab

The “Collins Aerospace” Tab permits the user to set up access between FOS, Flight Manager, and ARINCDirect. 

Please note: To determine the type of data that can be transferred between the two aspects of the ARINCDirect software suite, each of the options selected is dependent on the subscription level of FOS and Flight Manager.

The additional window will allow the user to select from a list of flight plans for this leg that have been assigned recall numbers.
