Performance-based calculation

Built on the Airbus-certified performance model, the stopping distance is tailored to each aircraft type and conditions, ensuring alignment with Airbus In-Flight Landing Distances.

Real-Time calculation

ROPS real-time calculations instantly take the effect of cumulative deviations in speed, height, tailwind, and flare into account.

A proven technology

Analysis has shown that if ROPS was onboard, several past runway overruns would have been avoided saving millions of dollars in costs.

Clear and directive alert

Clear, unambiguous visual and aural alerts with simple procedures.

How does it work?

ROPS continuously monitors the aircraft’s position with respect to the remaining runway length and calculates whether the aircraft can safely come to a stop. ROPS alerts are designed to effectively guide and assist the crew in the go-around decision-making process or, when on ground, the timely application of deceleration means.

For which aircraft families?

First EASA Type certified in 2009, ROPS is available and in service on the Airbus A320, A330, A350 and A380 aircraft families.

ROPS is available in linefit and in retrofit via a retrofit package:

  • Aircraft configuration compatibility check
  • A set of relevant SBs (Service Bulletins)
  • The seller-furnished equipment (the “SFE Kits”)
  • The update of technical and operational manuals of the aircraft
