Aviation Safety Technologies LLC (“AST” or the “Company) received its third patent on its revolutionary aircraft braking action reporting system. This technology is incorporated into ABARnet™, AST’s ABAR reporting network, which contributes to both safety and efficiency for airline and airport operations. The Company’s patents to date include the following:

• U.S. Patent 7797095 issued September 14, 2010 – “A method of calculating a true aircraft braking coefficient of the aircraft landing surface.”

• U.S. Patent No. 7957878 issued June 7, 2011 – “Computer Network for calculating and distributing a true coefficient for aircraft braking.”

• U.S. Patent No. 8050840 to be issued November 1, 2011 – “Method of calculating the amount of energy absorbed by aircraft brakes and tires.”

“We believe these patents are another validation of the value of the safety technology developed by Dr. Zoltan Rado over his long and productive career researching surface friction and related areas of study,” said Mike Dahl, Senior Managing Director.  “His collaboration with AST has resulted in turning very complex computational systems into practical and valuable applications.”

About ABARnet™

AST’s ABARnet™ braking measurement and reporting network utilizes approved data taken directly from landing aircraft. This approach is recognized by the FAA and Transport Canada as the most precise technology for measuring actual braking friction. Our technology complies with ASTM International Standard E3266, the official aircraft braking measurement standard.

Our ABARs are hull-agnostic so we can work with today's diverse fleets – Boeing, Airbus, and other manufacturers. And ABARnet is cloud-based for easy distribution and access by participants.

With over 23 million landings recorded, AST enables advanced analytics on runway friction for airlines and airports. Network participants can review past landings and access reports for any operating region, in any required format: FICONs, NOTAMs, RCAMs, and more. This information and flexibility not only help pilots make informed landing decisions but also support airports and the FAA in optimizing surface management strategies.

The result is safer, more efficient operations and more reliable flight schedules for passengers.
