Upgrade your runway safety with Surface Alert
Runway incursions pose significant risks to passengers, crew, and aircraft. To combat these threats and enhance runway safety, Honeywell Aerospace developed Surface Alert (SURF-A) – a groundbreaking technology that directly alerts pilots to potential runway conflicts.
SURF-A gives pilots the precious time they need to recognize hazards and take corrective action.
Cockpit alerts speed pilot response time
How it works: Honeywell Aerospace Surface Alert system
Automated Cockpit Alerts
Immediate aural and visual notifications to pilots when their aircraft is on a trajectory to collide.
Pilot Interface
Clear and intuitive interface ensures that pilots can quickly hear, understand and respond to alerts.
Proven Technology
Numerous flights on Honeywell's Boeing 757 aircraft demonstrate SURF-A’s effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
LEADERSHIP STATEMENT
Even one runway incursion, excursion or wrong-surface incident is one too many. SURF-A adds an ‘extra set of eyes’ in the cockpit to prevent runway accidents.
