Honeywell Demonstrates Satellite Precision Landing System Honeywell recently demonstrated its satellite-based precision landing system to senior representatives from airlines and ANSPS (air navigation service providers) at Germany's Bremen Airport. A B-737-800 operated by the German airline TUIfly used a prototype Honeywell GBAS (ground-based augmentation system) for the demonstration flight that was organized by Airservices Australia and Honeywell, with the assistance of Germany's ANSP (air navigation service provider) DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung and Boeing. DFS operates the Bremen system, and will be Honeywell's SLS-4000 GBAS launch customer following its FAA certification, which is expected later this year. Airservices also operates a GBAS prototype at Sydney, and is working with Honeywell to develop the system. Honeywell says the GPS-signal augmentation provided by GBAS can improve the accuracy of the onboard navigation systems enough to allow precision landings even in "very poor visibility." 03-20-2008. |
