Siddharth Sen, director - marketing & business development, Honeywell Aerospace, India, speaks about how they are providing pilots with early warnings for upcoming adverse weather conditions and ensuring passenger safety
What are the key features of IntuVue RDR-4000 3D Weather Radar?
The need for technology that provides pilots with a clearer view of weather conditions has become increasingly important. With Honeywell’s IntuVue RDR-4000 3D weather radar, pilots can face extreme weather conditions using its 3D display to see an accurate and intuitive view of weather hazards from zero to 60,000 feet across a 320nm detection range. Honeywell’s weather radar has a number of key features such as, the high resolution ground mapping feature, ensuring pilots have better awareness of the environment, especially in difficult visual settings. In addition to this, the weather radar has a cost effective design and is 30 per cent lighter than existing systems, saving airlines US$ 10,000 per aircraft, per year in fuel.
How does it help a pilot navigate through inclement weather ?
With IntuVue’s complete display view and weather analysis tools, pilots have better weather situational awareness and a better understanding of weather hazards to quickly calculate the best route to take. IntuVue is also the first radar to offer predictive warnings for hail, lightning and wind shear, five to 10 minutes before they occur. This results in improved routing around hazards, ensuring flights are not delayed due to extreme weather conditions.
How does IntuVue RDR-4000 3D weather radar and the GoDirect suite of services ensure passenger safety ?
