Existing technologies or processes to measure runway surface friction and aircraft landing performance are outdated, highly subjective or inconsistent. Aviation Safety Technologies’ Safeland software program measures, in real time, the true aircraft runway braking coefficient and other landing parameters based on the data collected by the aircraft flight data management systems. A real-time braking coefficient calculation and landing performance data has significant value to airlines, air cargo companies, airport operations and air traffic controllers
- Reduced risk of an accident on a contaminated runway
- Reduced cost of inadvertent runway closures, restricted traffic flows or flight delays
- Improved cargo loading and aircraft weight management decisions
- Better information to inbound flight crews on inputs for aircraft landing sequence software programs
- Real time information on tire and brake performance which can optimize maintenance and replacement decisions
- Better runway maintenance decisions using frequent and precise measurement of true aircraft braking friction
