Honeywell's FMS guided visual (FGV) approaches—precision-like guidance for aircraft to runway ends without published instrument procedures—have been added to Starr Safety Partnership's network of service providers.&nbsp;
The FGV approaches, coded as “RNAV H” procedures in the FMS navigation database, provide lateral and vertical guidance via strategically placed transitions around the airport. Pilots can fly the procedures manually or couple them to an autopilot. No regulatory approvals are required.
“Whether you’re flying in an unfamiliar area, landing at night, or navigating challenging conditions, FGV approaches are about adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind,” said Carey Miller, senior technical sales manager at Honeywell Aerospace and a Gulfstream G600 pilot.
Honeywell has incorporated FGV approaches into its FMS database for approximately 100 airports. Recent additions include challenging operations at Marana, Arizona (KAVQ) Runway 30, where no published approach exists and night operations can be stressful; San Diego (KSAN), which overlays the Sweetwater Visual to Runway 27; and Madeira, Portugal (LPMA), which overlays the RNP Visual to Runway 05 at an airport known for strong winds and frequent go-arounds.
Other recent FGV additions include Basel-Mulhouse, France (LFSB) for Runway 25, coded to provide access when the main Runway 15/33 is closed, and Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska (KEEO) Runway 21, where terrain and a 270-degree circling maneuver from the northwest make night landings unauthorized without additional guidance.
Starr Aviation launched the Starr Safety Partnership in 2022 to provide additional safety resources for Starr-insured pilots and aircraft owners throughout aircraft ownership and operation.

New developments and products in avionics, specifically about aircraft electronics in the cockpit.
