We Fly on Honeywell’s Boeing 757 and Experience Its New Runway Safety Alert Technology

We join a flight on Honeywell Aerospace’s Boeing 757 test aircraft to get a firsthand look at the company's new cockpit alerting technology, SURF-A, which is expected to receive FAA certification in 2026. The system can be integrated into any aircraft equipped with Honeywell avionics and helps pilots avoid runway incursions. Smart-X, which is already available, helps pilots avoid runway excursions and wrong surface operations. Honeywell demonstrates how these warning systems work in real time, based on real-life incidents where this technology could have given pilots more time to react.
