Rebuild US Airports With The GBAS Act And Honeywell
Under the GBAS Act, we have a once-in-a-generation type opportunity to modernize our airports and create highly skilled aviation jobs.
To read the full bill, click here.
For Government Officials:
We need your help signing the GBAS Act to modernize our airports. Please contact Honeywell's VP of Government Relations, Joseph Fengler, to learn more.
For Airlines, Airports & Associations:
We need your help contacting your Federal House of Representatives and Senators. Click here to get the full list of government officials in your area.
GBAS Adoption in the U.S. in 2021
As passenger levels continue to grow, air traffic management systems are under increasing strain which places the aviation industry at a technology crossroads. Today, most airports rely on the traditional instrument landing system (ILS) to determine whether an aircraft is off-center or approaching the runway too high or too low. Since the 1960s, this has been the standard for approach and landing guidance at commercial airports.
Making the move to digital navigation data to manage airspace, instead of traditional antenna signals, is a necessary next step for the industry. It will lead to greater flexibility, increased airport capacity and reduced weather-related delays.
We believe it’s time to modernize our infrastructure and upgrade our airports with ground based augmentation systems (GBAS), a more modern approach that allows airports to achieve future scalability.
Rebuild America’s Airports
Create 2,000 Skilled Aviation Jobs
Safer, More Efficient Routes
Quieter Neighborhoods Around Airports
Efficient Routing Reduces Emissions
New Routing Enables Airport Modernization
More Safe Takeoffs and Landings
Create 2,000 Skilled Aviation Jobs
According to our research, installing new ground-based augmentation systems will create more than 2,000 highly skilled engineering jobs across the United States.
Safer, More Efficient Routes
Unlike ILS, which supports a single precision approach to one runway end, GBAS covers all runways of an airport simultaneously. This allows air traffic control to be more flexible with approaches, increasing airport capacity and enabling greater flexibility and safety during different operating conditions.
Quieter Neighborhoods Around Airports
GBAS offers more flexible approach options not offered by ILS. GBAS will enable reduction in noise caused by aircraft flying around neighborhoods surrounding busy airports like San Francisco International Airport while following noise abatement regulations.
Efficient Routing Reduces Emissions
With more efficient routing, airlines are able to reduce aircraft emissions caused by different approaches and helps them get closer to achieving their carbon neutrality goals.
New Routing Enables Airport Modernization
GBAS provides a cost-effective and easy-to-implement digital precision navigation solution to increase airport capacity, decrease air traffic noise and reduce weather-related delays
More Safe Takeoffs and Landings
According to the FAA, “GBAS will support complex procedures and terminal area paths that will compress the density of terminal operations without impacting safety, thus increasing capacity.”
We believe that GBAS is the air carrier precision landing system of the future and we would like to see all major airports equipped with it.
