ATR ATR ATR
Cost Savings Benefits of ATR’s Technologies
Aircraft Maintenance
Demonstrated 98% reduction in unnecessary maintenance inspections after turbulence encounters.
Safety
Enhanced awareness of turbulence reduces injuries due to unexpected encounters.
Real-time reporting of wake vortex encounters is a key component in safe spacing of aircraft.
Efficiency
Prevents searching for “smooth altitudes” or overly conservative deviations around weather. Significant fuel savings achieved.
Enhanced awareness of wake vortex encounters allows optimal throughput at airports.
