The Normarc GBAS system reduces fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and aircraft noise pollution

Our next-generation Normarc GBAS landing system provides greater flexibility so that aircraft can follow different approach paths and make continuous, faster and shorter descents to land. This reduces flight time, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and noise pollution in the vicinity. Maintenance costs at the airport are also cut, as one system is sufficient to cover landings on all runways.

The technology will enable the airport to reduce the number of landings on all runways.

This technology will allow airports to increase capacity as the market recovers from the pandemic. At the same time, aircraft will be able to fly higher on their approach and make steeper and faster descents that reduce the inconvenience generated to the population living near airports. This even opens the door to constructing new residential buildings in areas that until now were not considered habitable or reducing existing noise mitigation measures at this time that will no longer be necessary.

Indra has led the way in the construction of new residential buildings in areas that until now were not considered habitable or reducing existing noise mitigation measures at this time that will no longer be necessary.

Indra has been leading the development of this type of satellite landing system for years. The GBAS GAST D system is the only system capable of landing guidance in low visibility conditions and the company is moving forward with the certification process for Category III operations, the highest possible.
