Honeywell’s IntuVue RDR-4000 3D

Honeywell’s IntuVue 3D weather radar has significantly improved our capability to predict upcoming weather systems and turbulence and to take the necessary steps to avoid them. Our customers, our pilots and crew all benefit and this is good for our business. Over time it will become standard equipment on the vast majority of our Airbus and Boeing fleets.”

Anton Belofastov, deputy head continuing airworthiness management, Aeroflot

The first completely new weather radar system developed in the past 20 years

It’s the only automatic radar system that produces a 3D, 180 degree image of all the weather from the ground up to 60,000 feet and up to 320 nautical miles (nm) ahead of the aircraft

Scans and stores data to create a 3D image of storm cells

Provides extended turbulence detection out to 60nm

New features in the latest version provide predictive hail and lightning icons, giving crew an increased level of awareness of hazardous conditions

The system is available for most popular modern airliners including the Airbus A320 family, Airbus A330, Airbus A350, Airbus A380, Boeing 737NG, Boeing 777 and Lockheed C-130 Hercules

IntuVue benefits major airlines

Pilots have more time to assess upcoming weather and to make informed decisions to ensure passenger safety and comfort

Reduces fuel consumption and facilitates on-time arrivals in adverse weather

Lowers pilot workload in poor weather

IntuVue has been shown to reduce turbulance related incidents by more than 45%

The system has made a substantial improvement in our ability to ‘see’ upcoming weather systems and turbulence and to take the necessary steps for earlier weather avoidance. For example, I have had a number of occasions during the descent into Delhi during monsoon ops when the tomographic, layered display has helped me request better deviations and hence enhance safety and passenger comfort.

You trust it immediately. We fly in all kinds of conditions, often making it difficult to judge weather. It was obvious this solution would give us greater confidence, whatever the weather. IntuVue RDR-4000 features will play an important role to improve flight safety, which is our prime policy, besides enhancing passenger comfort.”

Captain Kermal Mustafa Helvacioglu, vice president-safety (SMS), Pegasus Airlines

Flying in bad weather can cause expensive and inconvenient delays

Weather can lead to increased fuel costs

Severe turbulence is unsettling for passengers and increases pilot workload

Warnings provided by traditional weather radar systems are often insufficient to enable pilots to take action early enough

The NTSB says that turbulence alone costs the global airline industry more than $100 milion each year or, on average, $150,000 per incident
