2025 Agenda

Session covering critical aviation safety technologies. Discover DTN’s innovative Water Film Depth (WFD) Module that prevents aircraft aquaplaning during wet runway operations, validated with 4.7 million real measurements. Learn how automated decision support integrates WFD and wind shear detection into clear go/no-go actions, helping air traffic controllers make safer, faster decisions during hazardous weather conditions.

What You’ll Learn:
• Aircraft aquaplaning risks and ICAO 3mm contamination threshold (international safety standard)
• Real-time Water Film Depth (WFD) monitoring at touchdown zones
• Wind shear detection and alerts for approach/departure safety
• Automated go/no-go alerts: Integrated decision support combining WFD, wind shear, precipitation, and visibility data
• Simple deployment: No runway closures, works with existing sensors
• Proven accuracy from 5 airports across 9 months
• Integration with DTN MetConsole® AWOS alerting capabilities
Who Should Attend: Airport operations managers, air traffic controllers, aviation safety professional
Key Benefit: Low-cost technology with automated decision support—integrating runway water depth and wind shear detection into clear go/no-go actions for safer operations during critical weather.
