how to join
Join the growing ABARnet™ community
4 steps
Outfit your entire fleet overnight
Becoming an ABARnet™ participant is straightforward:
Contact us to join our cloud-based ABARnet™ reporting service.
Our file specifications are available as a free software download, allowing your performance engineer or Flight Management Computer (FMC) provider to write the reporting script and integrate it with your participating aircraft.
Once you've loaded the reporting script on your test aircraft, we'll confirm the landing reports are correct.
Train your teams to leverage ABARs in their daily operations, at a pace that is convenient and digestible.
Note: We're here to help simplify the path forward!
integration
Loading the reporting script
Our specs, your script
Your airline-approved avionics engineer converts our configuration file into a software script that seamlessly integrates with existing aircraft sensors.
No impact on aircraft systems
The script operates independently, without interfering whatsoever with the aircraft's existing sensors and systems to preserve system integrity.
Cloud-based delivery
Delivered entirely through the cloud, our ABARs require no additional hardware for airports or airlines, providing real-time access from anywhere.
COST
Fast and affordable
For airlines
Once your aircraft are onboarded, you will have direct access to all ABARs across the entire ABARnet network, so you’ll have broad visibility across multiple operating regions. Early adopters are eligible for fee discounts.
Note: subscription fees can be tier-based, tied to your fleet size, with modifications based on the number of aircraft reporting into the ABARnet™ network.
For airports
For some airports, there may be virtually no cost to you, since you could add a nominal extra fee per landing for all airlines who are participating in the ABARnet network. You could simply add AST's service fee to the landing fees you already charge the airlines.
