Aviation Safety Technologies (AST) - Landing Performance & Runway Surface Friction

AST's SafeLand software accurately reports aircraft runway surface characteristics, true braking friction, cornering friction and tire and brake wear. This technology has significant value to pilots, air carriers and airports.

The Problem

Braking

There are serious safety problems on today's runways caused by technologies that are outdated, subjective, and inconsistent. These technologies along with pilots' visual reports are used to estimate runway braking conditions. Unfortunately these are not enough, braking conditions are a complex, non-linear measure involving many variables and parameters that are not normally considered.

The Solution

SafeLand

SafeLand Software technology uses real time data to monitor and measure aircraft systems to perform 3 dimensional aircraft simulation from landing to ground movements. In this way AST's algorithm can deliver normalized braking reports as well as runway braking and cornering coefficients.
