South Bend International Airport joins AST

South Bend, IN, USA | 01.14.19

South Bend Intl Airport is now using our contaminant sensors for improved snow and ice management, addressing challenges posed by inclement weather.

We're proud to announce that South Bend International Airport (SBN) has recently signed on to use AST’s SafeLand™ sensors to support their winter Snow and Ice Plan.

AST is looking forward to helping SBN to meet the snow and ice challenges associated with Lake Michigan’s lake-effect, as well as other airport surface challenges they face in 2019 and beyond!

About ABARnet™

AST’s ABARnet™ braking measurement and reporting network utilizes approved data taken directly from landing aircraft. This approach is recognized by the FAA and Transport Canada as the most precise technology for measuring actual braking friction. Our technology complies with ASTM International Standard E3266, the official aircraft braking measurement standard.

Our ABARs are hull-agnostic so we can work with today's diverse fleets – Boeing, Airbus, and other manufacturers. And ABARnet is cloud-based for easy distribution and access by participants.

With over 23 million landings recorded, AST enables advanced analytics on runway friction for airlines and airports. Network participants can review past landings and access reports for any operating region, in any required format: FICONs, NOTAMs, RCAMs, and more. This information and flexibility not only help pilots make informed landing decisions but also support airports and the FAA in optimizing surface management strategies.

The result is safer, more efficient operations and more reliable flight schedules for passengers.
