Allows Instant Airport Messaging, "My Home Locator"
Passur Aerospace announced Friday
that Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) has contracted for
the collaborative version of Passur AirportMonitor, a web-based
airspace education tool for airport communities. KFXE has been a
longtime user of Passur data feeds and software for its noise
monitoring program, as well as for aircraft identification.
"Passur AirportMonitor strengthens our relations with our
neighboring communities, creating the trust that comes from
transparent and accurate information," said Clara Bennett, Airport
Manager, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. "It represents great
progress in the evolution of airport communication, collaboration
and coordination - both operationally and in terms of our public
commitments."
"The ability for airports to communicate in real time with their
local neighbors on our visual airspace platform is part of the
Collaborative Decision Making trend we believe is the future of
aviation," said Jim Barry, President and CEO of Passur Aerospace.
"Bringing together all industry constituents onto a commonly
accessed web platform fed by accurate, reliable, live information
to support quicker, better decisions - and open, trusting
interaction - is critical to addressing our industry's most
pressing challenges."
Passur AirportMonitor is the pioneering community airspace
awareness tool, which provides an interactive display of air
traffic and flight information in and around the terminal airspace,
designed for airport websites. It enables residents to view traffic
in "near-live" and replay mode, with a host of user-friendly online
tools designed to promote airspace education, answer questions
about specific flight behavior, and promote openness and trust
between residents and the airport.
The new version of AirportMonitor includes:
- Instant airport messaging - based on the existing collaborative
decision making technology developed for Passur Portal and Passur
OPSnet, this allows the airport to instantly communicate about
airspace conditions which may be affecting residents' noise
quality.
- "My Home Locator" - providing AirportMonitor users the ability
to pinpoint their home on the AirportMonitor background map by
entering their address, allowing for a more effective assessment of
airspace and flight activity in relation to the user's
residence.
Accurate, timely information which provides a complete picture
of the operating environment, as well as comprehensive analytical
capabilities, is important to a comprehensive noise management
program. Such a system not only reports on noise activities,
but also to identifies patterns to improve aircraft routes and
airport efficiencies, while further minimizing environmental
impact. Passur data and software solutions for noise operations are
built on the same proprietary radar network, aviation database, and
business intelligence engines which support our airport operations,
financial and collaborative decision-making software. Over 20
airports use the Passur flight operations data feed for their
NOMS.
