Truth you can land on
Runway intelligence built on aircraft braking action data
Decisions in aviation depend on trust. Yet for decades, runway condition "data" about available braking action has relied on subjective pilot reports and manual airfield inspections — snapshots, not certainty.
ABARnet™ replaces that uncertainty with Aircraft Braking Action Reports (ABARs) — precise, data-driven friction measurements captured from every landing aircraft. This is the scientific truth that tells airports, airlines, and pilots the actual available braking action across weather and contaminant scenarios (e.g., water and rubber buildup).
But ABARnet doesn't stop at the moment of landing. Friction Forecasts predict braking action up to three hours ahead, while hard-brake landings identify hidden hotspots where braking demand is surging on the runway.
Together, these insights give airports and airlines a complete view of current and projected runway performance — real, predictive, and actionable.
ABARnet currently records 7K+ new landing reports a day.
SMART & CLOUD-BASED
A network that learns with every landing
With over 24M braking action reports and counting, ABARnet grows more intelligent every day. Each landing refines its predictive models, sharpening runway insights and forecasts for airports worldwide. The more aircraft that land and feed data into the network, the smarter your insights become.

Future-proofed braking
action reports
Reporting the actual braking action of landing aircraft, in real-time, is a top priority for the FAA.
The solution: Aircraft Braking Action Reports (ABARs) from AST, the only ABAR provider for any type of aircraft regardless of manufacturer.
Don't worry about the FAA’s latest directive about braking reports—we’ve got you covered.
Complies with industry standards
ABARnet reports use standard industry terminology and are compliant with ASTM International braking action standards.
