 | | Being developed as an upgrade to head-up guidance systems (HGS) sold by Rockwell Collins subsidiary Flight Dynamics, the Surface Guidance System (SGS) could reduce the 60% of runway incursions that are the result of pilot deviations, as well as many of the 15% that are due to controller errors, according to Portland, OR-based Flight Dynamics. |
 | | Flight Dynamics is working with Jeppesen Sanderson and Smiths Industries to develop an SGS demonstration system, which would be fielded in an air transport aircraft for system evaluation, but would have future application in business aviation. |
 | | SGS would be integrated with the aircraft's flight management system and its navigation database to display ground guidance, standard taxi paths, runways, taxiways and terminal facilities. |
