AviMet Windshear Alert System

Windshear is a persistent risk because it takes place at a height, and under flying conditions when aircraft are most vulnerable. In landing or takeoff configurations, these aircraft - especially large commercial airliners - might be unable to recover from the drastic disruptions to their flight paths caused by windshear.
As a result, windshear puts lives at risk and can lead to crippling financial damages. It remains one of the most dangerous — and difficult to assess — weather phenomena in aviation.

Leosphere WindCube lidars for aviation safety

Accurate, timely windshear detection and wind awareness are crucial for maintaining safety at an airport and its surroundings. Leosphere WindCube® lidars give air traffic controllers, pilots, meteorological observers, and forecasters real-time data to understand the current wind conditions and make better operational decisions.

X-band Weather Radar

Vaisala X-band Weather Radar for Aviation

The new X-band Weather Radar provides highly accurate measurements for a limited area, filling in a gap in a national radar network or delivering precise information for an airport. Severe weather in mountainous areas and gaps under sparse weather radar networks will now be visible when X-band radars are added to the weather radar networks.

Low level windshear

Vaisala Low Level Windshear Alert System

Vaisala Low Level Windshear Alert System (LLWAS) is the most widely used solution for airports known to experience low-level horizontal windshear. It uses the latest windshear algorithms developed for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and patented by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Foundation (UCAR).

Come and discuss with us about the new FD70 Series

FD70 Series is the seventh generation of Vaisala visibility and present weather sensors.

Vaisala supports the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian – donates automated weather observing systems for three airports

In 2016, Vaisala signed a contract with the Ministry for Transport and Aviation at the Bahamas, aiming to improve the country’s weather observation and forecasting capabilities. With the newly implemented meteorological solutions by Vaisala, the Bahamas had improved possibilities to monitor and mitigate the impacts of the recent Hurricane Dorian. More accurate information and alerts could be sent out, enabling thousands of citizens and organizations to prepare for and seek shelter from the threat of Dorian.
