Honeywell:
Runway Awareness and Alerting System (RAAS) has been added to the Airbus catalog as a product available for all Airbus aircraft.
RAAS is a software enhancement to Honeywell’s Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) that uses the EGPWS computer and runway data base to provide pilots with audible warnings if they are taxiing onto an active runway unintentionally.
Basically a scaled down version of SmartRunway/SmartLanding...additional features usually found in these are provided by ROPS+.
NAVBLUE:
ROPS+ continuously monitors the aircraft’s position with respect to the remaining runway length and calculates whether the aircraft can safely come to a stop. ROPS+ alerts are designed to effectively guide and assist the crew in the go-around decision-making process or, when on ground, the timely application of deceleration means.
ROPS+ key features:
- Automatically detects the landing runway and updates in case of late change of runway
- Continuously monitors the aircraft speed and height during the landing phase
- Updates the calculation of stopping distance 8 times per second based on real-time conditions
- In-Air – generates alerts to warn the flight crew of overrun risk and aid in go-around decision
- On-Ground – if overrun risk exists, generates alerts to solicit flight crew to use all available deceleration means
