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. Document Read more 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. Document Read more 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. Document Read more 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).
