Pilots test first-of-its-kind cockpit alert system that detects possible collisions on runways
Fox News
Honeywell Aerospace engineers developed a 'surface alert system' that uses ADS-B Out technology to track aircraft trajectories that are on a collision course during takeoffs and landings.
"It sounds like such a small amount of time, but things happen so rapidly, and 15 to 30 seconds is actually a very, very large margin when you're moving at the speeds that we're moving in an aircraft like this," Honeywell Test Pilot Doug Rybczynski said.
The aural call-out includes an automated voice that says, "traffic on runway."
