Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is installing new runway safety equipment that could have prevented a near-miss between two planes, affirming the importance of enhanced air traffic safety measures.
The Surface Awareness Initiative (SAI) system, utilizing aircraft-installed radios for location transmission, is a cost-effective alternative to ground radar, aiding air traffic controllers in visualizing plane positions.
NTSB recommendations following a near-miss incident stressed the significance of installing the SAI system at airports lacking ground radar, prioritizing safety enhancements to prevent aviation disasters.
