SUPERAWOS FEATURES & SERVICES

AUTOMATICALLY GREETS PILOTS Patented DETECTS AIRCRAFT IN THE AREA INFORMS PILOTS Of the presence of SuperAWOS How to use SuperAWOS PROMOTES YOUR AIRPORT “Good Morning. Potomac Airfield, automated unicom. Click your mic three times for an advisory, four times for a radio check”

Clicks are simple Clicks never tie up the unicom frequency Simple actually works, every time SIMPLE ALWAYS WORKS PILOTS ACTIVATE BY SIMPLE CLICKS

ADAPTIVE AUTOMATED ADVISORY Patented REPLIES with ONLY what the pilot needs KEEPS UNICOM CLEAR by giving ONLY operationally relevant information ADJUSTS TRANSMISSION CONTENT –To Frequency Congestion –To what IS relevant to flight operations

WHY ADVISORY WIND? PILOTS HAVE TWO WIND QUESTIONS: QUESTION #1 “ WHICH RUNWAY SHOULD I USE?” “Winds from the north suggest using the most northern facing runway” QUESTION #2 “ WHAT SURFACE CONDITIONS SHOULD I EXPECT?” “Prepare for gusting cross-wind conditions at the runway surface” ONLY SUPERAWOS ANSWERS BOTH AVERAGE WIND LIKE TRADITIONAL AWOS REAL TIME WIND LIKE A WINDSOCK

AUTOMATED RADIO CHECK Patented A Pilot’s ONLY contact with the world IS BY RADIO Before takeoff, the pilot MUST know if their aircraft radio is… Transmitting anything? Anything UNDERSTANDABLE? Receiving anything? Anything UNDERSTANDABLE? –Pilots transmits a test message –Pilot receives ‘radio echo’ back of their own transmission Echo Radio Check Confirms –Transmitter: POWER & MODULATION –Receiver: SENSITIVITY & CLARITY ANYTHING LESS IS A FALSE POSITIVE OR A QUESTION LEFT UNANSWERED

OTHER UNIQUE SAFETY FEATURES PILOTS STAYING ON UNICOM CAN HEAR OTHER TRAFFIC –Reduces chances of mid-air & runway incursion ALERTS PILOTS TO AREA TRAFFIC –Other air traffic in the area on unicom ADVISES CONDITIONS FAVORING A SPECIFIC RUNWAY –When wind & traffic conditions make it clear ADVISES PREFERRED CALM WIND RUNWAY –When wind & traffic conditions allow WARNS DENSITY ALTITUDE WHEN CRITICAL –When critical to landing operations And, –Added to radio check BEFORE takeoff ALERTS TO CRITICAL TEMPERATURE When surface freezing likely And MORE…

REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTOMATED UNICOM WHAT IS ‘ADAPTIVE?’ –SYSTEM MUST PRIORITIZE WHAT IT TRANSMITS Based on Constantly Changing conditions - from second to second –Frequency congestion from many aircraft –What IS important to flight operations –What IS NOT important to flight operations TO MINIMIZE INTRUSION ON ANY BUSY UNICOM Automated Unicom MUST BE DYNAMICALLY ADAPTIVE PATENTED UNICOM IS TOO IMPORTANT TO TIE IT IN KNOTS
