Honeywell's New Runway Awareness and Advisory System Selected by Alaska Airlines.

FARNBOROUGH, United Kingdom -- Alaska to Be First Air Transport User of System that Helps Pilots Avoid Runway Incursions and Other On-Ground Safety Issues

Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today announced that Alaska Airlines will be the first air transport operator to equip its fleet with Honeywell's Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS), a new safety system aimed at reducing runway incursions and other airport surface safety risks.

"Honeywell's new RAAS provides an additional safety margin to help reduce runway incursions, one of the main Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board initiatives," said Kevin Finan, Alaska's Vice President for Flight Operations.

"Alaska Airlines has always been an innovator in air safety and is again making a strong safety commitment to its passengers by being the first carrier to deploy RAAS," said Brian Pulk, Vice President-General Manager, Honeywell Airlines and Airline Programs.

Alaska operates a fleet of 108 Boeing 737 and MD80 aircraft.

To enhance flight crew situational awareness, RAAS uses a Global Positioning System and an internal runway database to monitor the airplane's location on or near the airport and provide aural advisories. The callouts address such things as:

--the aircraft approaching a runway in-air or on-ground,

--the aircraft aligned on a runway for take-off or taxi,

--a runway that is too short for a safe takeoff or landing,

--an inadvertent take-off attempt from a taxiway,

--the airplane sitting on a runway for an extended time period, and

--runway distance remaining call-outs during rejected take-off or while landing long.

RAAS is a software product currently hosted on Honeywell's Mark V and Mark VII Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning Systems (EGPWS).

An EGPWS monitors the airplane's location, providing a map-type display of the surrounding terrain and sounding an audible alert if the airplane approaches too close to terrain.

The EGPWS's main function is to reduce controlled flight into terrain, when a properly functioning airplane is inadvertently flown into the ground or water, usually in poor visibility conditions.
