Honeywell has been selected by Brazil’s air traffic control commission, the Comissao de Implantacao do Sistema de Controle do Espaco Aereo (CISCEA), to deliver and install its SmartPath™ Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS) at Galeao-Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport in Rio de Janeiro.
The SmartPath Precision Landing System, a technology that can increase airport capacity, decrease air traffic noise, and reduce weather-related delays, is the first and only GBAS to receive the Federal Aviation Administration’s System Design Approval. One SmartPath system installed at a typical airport can yield annual maintenance savings of up to $400,000.
