WindTracer operates unattended and uses invisible infrared lasers that are completely safe to human eye and meet the federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements for laser operation in the airport terminal area.
WindTracer continually detects hazardous winds without relying on precipitation. It provides a significant new level of accurate wind data in clear air conditions. Advisory wind hazard alerts, including location and strength, are quickly relayed to pilots of arriving and departing aircraft.
Currently there are two (2) sets of WindTracer® at Hong Kong International Airport achieving 98 percent availability. More importantly, Hong Kong International Airport now achieves a 95 percent detection rate for wind shear events, confirmed by pilot reports.
