PHOENIX, February 6, 2005 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that it has added the locations of approximately 5,000 Gulf of Mexico oil rigs and 4,000 land-based European structures to its latest terrain databases for helicopter Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS).

“The addition of the new data on these obstacles will add significantly to the safety of EGPWS-equipped helicopters flying in the Gulf of Mexico and Europe, and we encourage every operator to add the update as soon as possible,” said Dan Barks, Director of Customer Marketing for Honeywell Commercial Electronic Systems.

Honeywell’s EGPWS compares the aircraft’s location, which is constantly updated from a Global Positioning System, to a built-in database of terrain and obstacles and provides the flight crew with a moving map display. Also, if the aircraft approaches too close to an obstacle or terrain, the system displays a brightly colored warning icon and sounds an audio alert in the cockpit. The update is provided on a small data card.
