Reliable Robotics, a leader in safety-enhancing aircraft automation systems, has announced further certification progress with FAA acceptance of requirements for Reliable’s advanced aircraft navigation and autopilot systems.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has now accepted the requirements for Reliable’s advanced aircraft navigation and autopilot systems.
These systems represent a major advancement in aviation technology, offering continuous autopilot engagement throughout all stages of flight, including automatic taxi, takeoff, and landing.
Aviation Safety: CFIT & LOC-I
Central to Reliable’s automation mission is the commitment to mitigating aviation accidents caused by controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) and loss of control in flight (LOC-I), which are among the leading causes of fatal accidents.
By integrating accurate, high-integrity navigation and continuous autopilot engagement systems into aircraft, Reliable Robotics aims to significantly reduce the occurrence of such accidents, thus enhancing overall aviation safety.
