Honeywell's new Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) will
be offered as optional equipment on most Cessna Citation business
jets with a Honeywell Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)
installation. The new safety system is designed to reduce occurrences
of runway incursions and other airport catastrophes. The Citation
will be the first business jet to offer it.
RAAS advises aircrew of the aircraft's location on runways and
taxiways, in part by employing an audible alerting system. RAAS
is the newest flight deck technology in Honeywell's EGPWS, which
heightens pilot awareness of the aircraft's position relative to
nearby terrain. Visit Honeywell at Booth 5343 and Static Display
17.
