Washington Dulles and Denver International join AST
03.30.17
Two more major airports have joined our network to enhance runway condition reporting and improve snow and ice removal efforts.
12.28.17: AST signs agreement with Denver International Airport to provide mobile sensor technology for detection, measurement and communication of airport surface contaminates. AST’s SafeLand technologies determine contaminant type, depth, coverage and using sensor temperature measurements. AST calculates appropriate Runway Condition Index to assist airport issuance of FICON reports. DIA is utilizing AST technologies to assist their landside roadway snow/ice removal activities.
11.16.17: AST signs agreement with Washington Dulles airport to provide mobile sensor technology for detection, measurement and communication of airport surface contaminates. AST’s SafeLand technologies determine contaminant type, depth, coverage and using sensor temperature measurements. AST calculates appropriate Runway Condition Index to assist airport issuance of FICON reports.
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.
