Honeywell Technology Designed to Prevent MH370-like Incident

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Airplane is considered as the safest mode of transportation which facilitates its passengers with the opportunity to travel to great distances in a rapid speed.

Such notion however, has for several times being challenged by the unwanted phenomenon of many airplane's crashes across the globe.

Furthermore, as the time progresses the reason behind airplane's crash or accident also develops from just mere technical problem and bad weather to hijacking situation, pilot's error and missile threat.

Aircraft accidents and incidents which have made it to the international spotlight include Turkish Airline Flight 981 caused by explosive decompression, Air Florida Flight 90 plunged into ice cold Potomac river because of pilot error, Swiss Air Flight 111 crashed down as a result of uncontrolled widespread of fire inside the aircraft, Saudi Arabian Airlines Flight 763 and Kazakhstan Airlines Flight 1907 due to fatal mid-air collision, Malaysian Airline Flight 17 exploded due to missile attack, American Airlines Flight 77, 11 and United Airlines flight 175, 93 were subjects to the most catastrophic terrorist hijacking situation in the American soil.

The worldwide airline and aviation industry is even more worried as soon as the news revealing the fact that Malaysian Airlines flight MH370's location remains unknown even after months of intensive search mission following its disappearance.

With all of the worrying, both minor and major accidents possibilities, it is necessitated for aviation industry to evaluate and review all of the mistakes and negligence in the past as to provide further assurance in the future.

Vice President of Asia-Pacific Airlines, Brian Davis informs how Honeywell Aerospace Corporation is the key to appease all airlines- related worries.

The company provides advanced aviation technology that could significantly reduce the possibility of accidents through its computerized monitoring system and specific instruments that were unknown and not yet developed in the past.

"Honeywell offers advanced technology which can assure safety efficiency, environmental compliance, negative type of environmental impact reduction," Brian told Liputan6.com on a teleconference, Tuesday (9/6/2015).

In attempting to get an aircraft to arrive safely at the airport, Honeywell Aerospace corporation yielded a number of technologically-advanced system which include the deployment of satellite base arrival route into the airport and application of its Smart Pad technology.

These technologies allow for the plane to be monitored, guided, and controlled during landing condition with little interaction with the Air Traffic Controller (ATC).

So, these technologies would ultimately lessen the burden of the ATC staff as it automatically directs and guides the plane in altitude and speed to follow the routes that are already set so that the airplanes would automatically move in predictable ways and routes everyday.

"If we get that automation in the sky into the airplane, that would be the same as having a very congested highway like a trip from the airport in Jakarta but its being smoothed out by the fact that all of the cars are driven at automated speed and you know exactly when these cars are going to arrive," he explained.

Honeywell Aerospace corporation has unquestionably made a brilliant breakthrough by introducing its advanced technologies deemed imperative to assure the safety of airplane's passengers and minimize the possibility of both accidents and incidents through its automated controlling, guiding and monitoring system.

According to Brian Davis, the missing of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 is an opportunity and positive reminder for Honeywell Aerospace Corporation to develop technology to prevent the unfortunate incident to ever occur again in the future.

Brian however, refused to make further remarks on the case and decided to only provide information from technological standpoint.

He claimed that his company has taken further step beyond other aviation companies in creating a software functioning as ground proximity and warning enhancement to assure a safe, predicted and smart landing. Landing he said, is the most crucial part of all flights.

He also went to share how the implementation of sophisticated software and tools including the black box or the flight data recorder inside it designed by Honeywell Aerospace corporation could help prevent or provide early danger detection on a case like Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

"We produce the most advanced technology, flight data recorder allows investigators to know what happens during the entire flight. We may not have CCTV but we have technology hat assures all information is preserved as safely as possible and once again, our scientist and engineer are able to apply that technology into the satellite," he concluded.
