AST Releases SafeLand™ Website

Today, Aviation Safety Technologies released AST SafeLand™, a newly-configured website allowing subscribers to use a common portal to access both airport contaminant data and TALPA-compliant landing friction reports.

Aircraft-based sensors: AST’s landing friction reports utilize data downloaded from aircraft in real time to measure and report friction for over 6,000 landings daily across the AST reporting network.
Vehicle-based sensors: AST’s contaminant reporting uses mobile vehicle-based sensors to provide continuous contaminant reporting of type, depth, and coverage across all surfaces of interest to airports.

When combined with the sensor’s temperature measurements, airports are provided with TALPA-compliant Runway Condition Coding index information to assist airports fulfill Field Condition Reporting requirements.
