It also reduces operating costs for airport operators, airlines and air navigation service providers. In addition, because of the ability to have multiple precision approach paths with customizable glidepaths and accurate and repeatable flight tracks, it can reduce noise for residents along the approaches to SFO airport. It can reduce flight times by optimizing the distance required to execute the approach and thus reduces the amount of fuel and emissions required to fly. SmartPath transmits digital data to the aircraft to aid in precision navigation and create more direct flight paths to and from airports. This technology will help SFO better manage its air traffic for decades to come, and those using and living near SFO will see immediate benefits when GBAS goes online late this year." airport infrastructure evolve with advanced, digital solutions that will fundamentally change how we address growth with environmentally efficient, reliable solutions," said Brian Davis, vice president, sales, Honeywell Aerospace. "GBAS is the only precision landing technology mature enough to provide a viable replacement for legacy navigation aids while supporting all-weather and irregular operations. "Honeywell SmartPath addresses a major technology gap in modernizing our national airspace: Ensuring that our navigational systems in the U.S.

airport to install the technology, with another nine major airports around the world already enjoying its benefits. SFO joins Newark's Liberty Airport and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport as the third U.S.
Honeywell SmartPath is the only globally certified solution for Ground-Based Augmentation Systems, or GBAS, that when adopted by airports can significantly reduce arrival delays and those annoying "circle around the airport" notifications passengers often get when airplane landings stack up.
