The Importance of Airport Diagrams

Thursday, April 30th, 2009
Over the past years, a main focus of the FAA and aviation safety has been runway incursions. Many investigations have gone into developing solutions to help avoid human error.

Approach Systems presents a very modern solution to this problem with geo-referenced Airport Diagrams and Approach Plates. With nothing more than a GPS receiver and standard tablet PC, pilots can see their current location on any of the 700+ Airport Diagrams.
