Webinar Overview

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 19th September 2024) to see the latest advances in real-time runway safety solutions, with a first look at the new Surface Alert System (SURF-A), due to be released in 2025 from industry leaders Honeywell. As you will see SURF-A is a runway safety software solution specifically designed for cockpits and which seamlessly integrates with cockpit displays. Using video demos of the solution, the Honeywell team will show you how the software establishes the current location and movement of all ADS-B equipped traffic within the runway engagement zone, during taxi, takeoff, final approach, landing, and rollout. You will also see how it uses advanced algorithms to identify anything that could cause an incursion within the next 30 seconds.  The pilots are then alerted in real-time with both audio and visual alerts (on the EGPWS display: Traffic on Final, Traffic Behind, Traffic on Runway, Traffic Intersecting Runway), allowing them crucial time to avoid any accidents.  As you will see SURF-A has been compared to adding an ‘extra set of eyes’ in the cockpit, which is particularly important as air traffic expands, airports become more congested, and the number of runway safety incidents increases; industry estimates show that every day an incursion happens somewhere in the world.

The Webinar begins with a look at the challenges facing airlines and pilots with runway incursions. Pilots are the last line of defense to prevent collisions and avoid close calls on busy runways, yet current solutions alert the control tower to potential problems but don’t alert pilots directly, which can delay response time.  As you will see SURF-A enhances situational awareness and gives flight crew the right information, at the right time and in the right place to enhance runway safety.  Next the Honeywell presenters showcase the technology behind SURF-A including GPS data, ADS-B, and advanced analytics to pinpoint the exact location of traffic hazards on or near the runway.  You’ll also learn how SURF-A fits into Honeywell’s other popular expanding portfolio of runway safety products, such as SmartRunway for wrong surface alerts and enhanced situation awareness, and SmartLanding to prevent hard or long landings. Finally, using real-world examples of runway incursions at airports such as JFK, along with video demos from the cockpit, you will see how SURF-A takes runway safety to new heights.

The Webinar is divided into 4 key sections:

  • The Growing Challenges facing Airlines / Pilots with Runway Incursions
    Flying is recognized as one of the safest travel methods but, despite enhanced safety, there has been a significant increase in runway safety incidents and accidents since 2022. Pilots are the last line of defense to In avoiding near misses and prevent collisions on busy runways, pilots are the last line of defense yet, while current solutions alert the control tower to potential problems, they don’t alert pilots directly, and that can delay response time.  You will see how SURF-A enhances situational awareness by giving flight crew the right information, at the right time and in the right place to enhance runway safety.

  • Honeywell SURF-A Technology and Latest Testing Results
    Next you will learn how the solution works, utilizing GPS data, ADS-B to pinpoint the exact location of traffic hazards on or near the runway during taxi, takeoff, final approach, landing, and rollout, and how it uses advanced algorithms to identify anything that could cause an incursion within the next 30 seconds.  The pilots are will then be alerted in real-time with both audio and visual alerts (on EGPWS display: Traffic on Final, Traffic Behind, Traffic on Runway, Traffic Intersecting Runway), allowing critical time for them to avoid any threats.  The Honeywell team will also provide updates regarding the latest solution testing, and when SURF-A will be available on the market.

  • Honeywell SURF-A Video Demos and Real-World Runway Incursions
    Next, using videos of demos from the cockpit, you will see SURF-A in action, showing both audio and visual alerts on the EGPWS display: Traffic on Final, Traffic Behind, Traffic on Runway, Traffic Intersecting Runway.  You will see how the alerts only occur if the solution’s advanced algorithms identify anything that could cause an incursion within the next 30 seconds in order that the pilots can take appropriate action to avoid an accident. If everything is going well, the pilots won’t see or hear the system. The Honeywell team will also look at recent runway incursions at airports such as AUS (Austin), and JFK, and how SURF-A would have intervened in these scenarios.

  • Honeywell’s Portfolio of Runway Safety Products: SmartRunway & SmartLanding
    Finally you will see an overview of Honeywell’s popular and growing portfolio of runway safety products and how SURF-A fits into that portfolio. These solutions include SmartRunway and SmartLanding, which are currently installed on about 5,000 commercial aircraft – around 20% of the world’s fleet.  The presenters will show you how these solutions integrate seamlessly with the EGPWS cockpit displays to assist Pilots in avoiding runway incursions, over-runs and wrong-surface landings, and take-offs. You will also see how SmartRunway and SmartLanding use aircraft position data and an accurate runway database to determine whether an aircraft is in the correct energy state and position for landing. On takeoff, it also checks that the runway surface is long enough for the type of aircraft. As you will see SURF-A takes those capabilities up a notch by accessing data directly from the ADS-B equipment installed on aircraft and ground vehicles.

About the Aircraft IT Webinar Series:

Every 2 weeks the Aircraft IT website hosts a different live Webinar, each Webinar hosted by a different IT Vendor. These sessions represent the perfect opportunity to learn about a software solution in a more informal manner and to quickly gain an in-depth knowledge of all the major systems on the market, all from the comfort of your own office or home with no sales pressure.

The IT vendor provides a live software demonstration/masterclass of their solution and explains how it can benefit airlines, MROs, Operators, OEMs, Leasing Companies. Once logged on, online delegates can ask questions via the interactive sections of the Webinar or simply sit back and watch and listen to the demonstration. There are two sessions during the day, each differently times to accommodate all time zones.

Each Webinar session is recorded, and an On-Demand version is then posted back to the Aircraft IT website a few days after the live session to allow you to view the content again with your colleagues. The library of On-Demand Webinar recordings provides an invaluable reference source of Flight Operations software demonstrations from the World’s leading Flight Operations IT Vendors.
