For 67 years, Aviation Week Network's annual
Laureate Awards have recognized extraordinary
innovations and achievements in the aviation industry
OLATHE,
Kan., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) today announced that its Runway Occupancy Awareness
(ROA) technology received a Laureate Award in the Business Aviation
category from Aviation Week Network. Utilizing the
Surface Indications and Alert (SURF-IA) technology and ADS-B
traffic monitoring, ROA is the first certified solution designed to
help pilots navigate complex airports and avoid potential runway
incursions caused by nearby airborne aircraft, aircraft on the
ground and ground vehicles. This year's Laureate Awards Ceremony
will take place on March 6,
2025, in Washington,
D.C.
"We are honored to be recognized by Aviation Week Network
with this prestigious Laureate Award for Runway Occupancy
Awareness. Garmin's commitment to innovation and safety is the
driving force to continually create revolutionary technologies like
ROA that can reduce the risk of runway incursions and help provide
confidence for pilots navigating busy and complex airports." –Carl
Wolf, Garmin Vice President Aviation
Sales, Marketing & Programs
ROA technology analyzes aircraft GPS and ADS-B traffic
information relevant to the airport's runways and taxiways to
assess and alert the crew of a possible runway incursion or
collision. ROA provides visual crew-alerting system (CAS) caution
and warning annunciations on the pilot's primary flight display
(PFD) and highlights the runway yellow or red, depending on the
level of threat, using Garmin's Synthetic Vision Technology
(SVT™). It also provides similar caution and
warning annunciations on the
SafeTaxi® map displayed simultaneously on the
multifunction window.
Both visual and aural alerts are provided to the flight crew
based on the potential hazard, ranging from no immediate collision
hazard to a warning level alert where a collision risk could occur
within 15 seconds. Indications and alerts to the flight crew
include: any traffic landing, taking off, stopped, or taxiing on
the aircraft's runway; traffic on approach to the aircraft's runway
or runway that crosses the aircraft's runway; as well as any
traffic on the runway at which the aircraft is holding.
The initial FAA certification was received by Textron Aviation
on the G1000® NXi-equipped Cessna Caravan, followed
by Garmin's certification for ROA in their
G5000® STC covering the Cessna Citation Excel, XLS,
XLS+ and XLS Gen2. ROA is initially available on select Garmin
Integrated Flight Decks ranging from G1000 NXi to G5000 equipped
aircraft serving the broad general and business aviation markets.
