Honeywell RAAS Authorized for Gulfstream PlaneView

The FAA has certified Honeywell's RAAS (runway awareness and advisory system) for all large cabin Gulfstream PlaneView flight decks with Honeywell's Primus Epic architecture.

Honeywell expects RAAS, a safety system designed to improve situational awareness and to help reduce runway incursions, will be an option for Gulfstream G450s and G550s this year.

RAAS compares the aircraft's GPS location against a database of airport runways to provide aural advisories covering a variety of situations including:

• When entering a runway, and when on a runway.

• An optional identification of the landing runway when on final approach.

• The runway distance remaining following a rejected take-off or when landing long.

• An inadvertent take-off attempt from a taxiway.

• A take-off from a short runway or approach to land on a short runway.

• When the airplane sits on a runway for an extended period of time.
