Meeting Aviation Mandates
In the next 20 years, 7.2 billion airline passengers are expected to fill the skies. To keep this growing population of travelers—and the pilots and crew that serve them—safe, aviation safety authorities are mandating a series of upgrades to aircraft of all kinds.
These mandates focus on maximizing airspace use and increasing safety through improved location information and communications. And while meeting these mandates may seem like a burden, it can also be seen as an opportunity. Upgrades can provide you with valuable new functionality that can make your flights more efficient and potentially enhance your bottom line. Honeywell can help you make those upgrades cost-effectively and on deadline.
Safer Airspace for Everyone
While aviation mandates require effort and investment to attend to, everyone benefits in the end with more efficient, safer flights for the industry and operators alike. Advancements such as Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Future Air Navigation System (FANS), Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and others promise improvements to communications, fuel efficiency, safety and availability of airspace. The key when facing mandates, then, is to make the upgrades quickly to both avoid downtime and begin capturing the potential benefits as soon as possible.
“Our research and customer talks suggest that a large percentage of operators are not ready to meet designated mandate deadlines. Waiting until late 2019 will result in equipment shortages and scheduling problems.” - Robert Wolfersteig, Program Manager, Honeywell Aerospace
