The inventive Safe-Runway [SR] technology develped by ASAS saves considerable jet fuel by reducing long and time consuming taxi distances for takeoff and landing aircraft. Many existing long runways are underused by B-737 and A-320 type airliners - [for instance] - on JFK 13R or 31L runways this process will save over 100 gallons of jet fuel.
Delays at airports have led to:
- The auctioning of landing and takeoff sequences by the government beginning at Newark, N.J.
- Reduction of airline schedules at many major airports, especially at New York's JFK International Airport
This simple but revolutionary inventive technology:
- Reduces the taxiing distances for takeoff and landing aircraft,
- Saves a considerable amount of jet fuel
- Provides additional sequences as would the construction of a new additional runway
- During winter's heavy snow operations the 7,000 feet long runway can be cleared in half the time it currently takes to clear the full length of the 14,572 long runway
- Within minutes B-737 & A-320 type airliners can be airborne after de-icing
- Heavy B-747 & A-380 airliners will not be delayed by B-737 & A-320 departures
- Provides greater anti-terror security by avoiding long lines of airliners close to public access areas.
- Eliminates dangerous, and potentially deadly runway incursions
- Reduces CO2 and other contaminants making airports greener.
- Reduces the need for spending billions of dollars to construct new runways.
- Eliminates years of delay that is required for new runway constructions.
Captain Dan Gellert developed these cutting-edge solutions through application of:
- Aerospace safety training with the USAF, US ARMY, USC, NTSB
- Harvard and Stanford Graduate Schools of Business
- FAA training and experience as an Air Traffic Controller
-
Experience as FAA licensed pilot-in-command with type ratings on: B-747, L-1011, A-300, B-767, B-757, B-727, DC-9/MD80, L-188/P-3 [Electra], EMB-145 airliners accumulating over 30,000 flight hours.
Therefore, this inventive methodology can double takeoff and landing sequences by splitting these long runways safely into two completely independent runways, one for takeoff and one for landing for B-737 and A-320 type airliners. The runway can instantly revert to the undivided full length for jumbo heavy jets or for any other aircraft, when so required.
This inventive Safe-Runway technology will physically eliminate runway incursions, solving the most dangerous and deadly unsolved aviation safety problems. Intersection takeoffs are dangerous and cannot be used satisfactorily by airline T-catagory aircraft.
ASAS provides updated plans for timely development of this inventive technology by facilitating the required approval from governmental entities, and also to continue timely representation for integration between airports and user airlines. For the expeditious and safe implementation of these fuel saving and required essential airport runway capacity improvements, we provide onsite guidence with continous managerial oversight..

Aerospace Safety And Security evaluates all aspects of flight and aerospace operations as an integrated system; therefore, all safety and security factors are evaluated on that basis, within each specific individual operational arena. ASAS believes in layered security, if one layer fails security is only degraded and not compromised or completely eliminated.
