Introducing BrakeCheck Geo with built-in GPS
We are pleased to announce the release of a new addition to the BrakeCheck
family of products - BrakeCheck Geo, which includes a built-in GPS receiver.
When combined with the optional wireless printer, BrakeCheck Geo
includes the latitude and longitude of the brake test finish point on the
receipt, thereby providing a record of the brake test location.
The GPS facility can be turned on or off by the user as required and an
indicator LED shows the GPS status. If the GPS facility is enabled,
the unit will not conduct a brake test until a GPS fix has been obtained.
More information about BrakeCheck Geo is shown on the
BrakeCheck product page.
Team Eagle Press Release
May 2012
ENHANCED BOWMONK ELECTRONIC DECELEROMETER NOW AVAILABLE FOR
CANADIAN AIRPORT OPERATORS’ RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITION REPORTING NEEDS.
TranSafe Technology, a Canadian distributor of the Bowmonk Electronic
Decelerometer, and Team Eagle Ltd, a leading provider of airfield snow and
ice control equipment and solutions, have partnered to provide Canadian
airport operators with an enhanced airport decelerometer.
The Bowmonk AFM2 electronic recording decelerometer has been on
Transport Canada’s list of approved devices for many years. Airport
operators can now rely on this device to integrate with Team Eagle’s
WinterOps™ Pro, Runway Surface Condition Reporting software solution.
Over the past several months, TranSafe, Team Eagle Ltd. and Bowmonk
have worked together to enhance the output of the data available from the
Bowmonk AFM2 to allow this information to be electronically exported for
use within Eagle’s GPS based WinterOps™ Pro.
“Working together to integrate the technology provides Canadian airport
operators with more choice when it comes to electronic runway
decelerometers” states Chris Kelly, with TranSafe Technology.
“Seeing the data from the Bowmonk AFM2 integrated with GPS and
graphically represented on the WinterOps™ Pro airfield map is very
exciting, and represents a tremendous improvement in terms of providing
situational awareness to Canadian Airport operators, their airfield
management SnowDesks and enhancing safety in general”.
Team Eagle Ltd. will be marketing the Bowmonk AFM2 to its Canadian
Airport customers. “We have had a lot of demand to integrate and offer
a Transport Canada approved decelerometer here in Canada” says Ted Pilcher,
Sales Manager for Team Eagle. “Working with TranSafe and Bowmonk has been
an excellent partnership and we are very pleased that we can now provide
the turnkey equipment and software solution for enhanced runway surface
condition reporting that our airport partners have been requesting.
Transport Canada approved Electronic Decelerometers are eligible for
government funding under the ACAP (Airport Capital Assistance Program).
Recently, Transport Canada also made software for creating runway surface
condition reports eligible in this program as well.
