Honeywell’s SmartRunway and SmartLanding system secures EASA certification

Honeywell’s SmartRunway and SmartLanding system has secured industry approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for use on the Boeing 737 Next Generation airliner, which is the first aircraft approved to operate this technology in the continent. Primary benefits for airlines deploying the system is that it is easy to install through flight-deck modifications and upgrade the Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System. This upgrade enables airlines to seek funding from Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR), which enables operators to receive grants toward the cost of implementing the system on their fleets.
