In 2006, Honeywell stopped production of the RM-850 Radio Management Units (RMU). Then on 11/8/2010, Honeywell announced there may not be enough suitable replacement parts for these RMUs to be repaired.
A typical failure of the RMU is a bad CRT with missing or faded segments. This is an indication that a total screen failure is coming soon.
Honeywell is offering an incentive for operators to replace the current RM-850 RMU with new RM-855 units at approximately 50% of their regular price through the end of 2011. The units fit into the same panel space, but require a connector change.
The following aircraft will most likely have the RM-850 RMUs currently installed:
- Lear 45
- Jetstream 41
- Sikorsky S-76B
- Global 5000
- Falcon 2000
- Hawker 800A / XP
- Hawker 900XP
- Hawker 1000
- Citation 560 Ultra and Excel
- Citation 650
- Challenger 601
Duncan Aviation has flat-rated the exchange with the installation of the new connector at $22,700(grey)/$21,300(black) per side.
