EasyJet A320s to Get Thales/ACSS T3CAS

EasyJet today selected the Thales/ACSS T3CAS terrain collision avoidance system for the 130 Airbus A320neos and six A320ceos that it has on order. The system is billed as an all-in-one surveillance platform including both collision- and terrain-avoidance, as well as a transponder. It is compliant with future mandates such as ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) OUT and IN, as well as runway overrun protection. According to Thales, T3CAS contributes to fuel savings due to its low weight and power requirements.
