Runway Analysis Delivers Reliable Information to Help Improve Flight
Safety
EBACE, GENEVA, May 4, 2010 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that
it is introducing Runway Analysis to its suite of pilot service
offerings.
“Honeywell’s Runway Analysis provides aircraft performance data that maximizes
efficiencies and delivers reliable information that helps improve flight
safety,” said Candace Eckert, vice president of Services, Honeywell Aerospace.
“By utilizing this service from our Global Data
Center (GDC), operators will have access to more than 16,400 runway ends
and more than 5,700 airports worldwide.”
Runway Analysis facilitates the determination of the maximum allowable takeoff
and landing weights based on critical engine failure for specific
airport/runway conditions and various airplane configurations.
This service also provides detailed information on how much fuel to load –
preventing additional costs to offload fuel if weight limits are reached – as
well as which runways can be used and what obstacle clearances can be
met.
This new pre-flight service is an integrated part of the GDC’s flight planning
system and supports a full range of aircraft platforms. Operators can begin
using this service today at www.mygdc.com.
Additional Runway Analysis benefits include pre-flight data that helps reduce
costs, minimized fuel costs, greater Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
compliance and reduced manual flight data input.
