Better insight for pilots on approach
“Now that ABAR reports are available and embraced by the FAA and other regulators, what is the industry waiting for?”
“When we’re on approach, we lack the ability to know when risk becomes high on degraded runways due to the lack of objective data about what the landing aircraft before us actually experienced. Sure, we get a PBAR (pilot’s intuitive observations of braking action), but when the risk becomes elevated to the point where accidents are much more likely to occur, these subjective observations are a poor substitute for knowledge. If runway conditions have the possibility to produce an excursion or worse, we need to know. And the source of the warning must be dependable and have false positives and false negatives engineered out. That’s what ABAR science does.”

Critical data
ABARs: Vital for precision in safety and efficiency
When landing on icy, slippery, or contaminated runways, precision is critical. ABARs from AST provide pilots with real-time, objective braking data to help prevent runway excursions and ensure safer landings. These reports supplement a pilot’s own assessment of braking conditions, offering valuable insight without replacing their judgment. Beyond safety, the data can be used to improve flight planning, runway scheduling, and surface maintenance—increasing runway uptime and reducing delays. Accessible to every pilot of a participating airline, ABARs help those on approach know what to expect upon touchdown—adding an extra layer of confidence and preparedness.

summary
Why ABARs are an
FAA imperative
Use approved data directly from aircraft
Comply with industry standards
Available through global cloud-based network
Available for any aircraft type - Boeing, Airbus. etc.
Radar-based products miss the mark
let's talk
Get on board with precise reports
