Eddy Dissipation Rate (EDR)

A collaborative, accurate, real time information to support pilots decision for turbulence avoidance.

Enhance the safety of your flight

Enhances pilots decision-making by providing more precise turbulence area, level and altitude information.

Costs reduction opportunities

Cut potential aircraft interior damage, engineering inspection requirements & maintenance. Allow fuel efficient avoidance trajectories & flight levels while reducing CO² emissions.

Improve your passenger experience

Improves passengers comfort and indeed airline brand image with less load factor impact occurrences and severity.

Manage turbulence as you manage traffic jams

Collaborative apps

IATA has launched the turbulence aware platform, principle of which consists of the concatenation of turbulence data sent in real time by the aircraft participating in the platform. Once processed the turbulence information (location, severity…) are resent to all Aircraft participating to the platform and flying into the same airspace.

Airbus is providing the aircraft capacity thanks to an Air Traffic Service Unit (ATSU) simple software upgrade on A320 Family aircraft and A330 and a Soft Pin Programing on the A350 Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS).
