The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is implementing a new airfield surveillance system to reduce the risk of close calls between aircraft on the runway. The system will improve air traffic controllers' situational awareness and will be implemented at several airports by 2025.
The Federal Aviation Administration is rolling out new airfield surveillance systems to minimize the risk of close calls between aircraft on the runway. Austin-Bergstrom, Indianapolis, Nashville and Dallas Love will be the first airports to receive the surface awareness initiative system, which "will reduce the risk of runway incursions by improving air traffic controllers ’ situational awareness," the FAA said on Monday.
Shortly after the close calls, Nolen said that while air travel is coming back, the "long layoff, coupled with the increased technical nature of our systems, might have caused some professionals to lose some of that muscle memory."
