Springs , Texas– October 24, 2005 -L2
Consulting Services, Inc. (L2) President, Mark Lebovitz,
announced today that the Federal Aviation Administration
has granted the company with a Supplemental Type
Certificate (ST10466SC) for the installation of the
Honeywell Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) on
B767 aircraft. This new safety system aims at reducing
the growing number of aircraft accidents on airport
surfaces. Currently L2 is the only company to hold the
STC for the Honeywell RAAS installation on the aircraft
type and is making the STC immediately available for
usage rights to B767-200/300/300F/400ER aircraft owners
and operators.
The RAAS system, manufactured by Honeywell, provides
improved situational awareness through aural advisories
for flight crew thereby lowering the likelihood of
potential runway incursions. The RAAS is a software
upgrade hosted in the Honeywell Enhanced Ground
Proximity Warning System (EGPWS).
Runway and taxiway accidents are a serious safety
concern. "We believe the RAAS increases cockpit crew
position awareness reducing errors leading to runway
incursions. L2 is pleased we can now offer a RAAS
solution to our B767 customers," said Mark Lebovitz, L2
President.
The L2 Supplemental Type Certificate was accomplished
on a B767-200ER using the Mark V Enhanced Ground
Proximity Warning System. The RAAS uses a Global
Positioning System coupled with an internal airport
runway database to monitor the airplane's location and
provide voice advisories.
