ASAP Star

ASAP STAR systems provide instantaneous, accurate, and reliable runway analysis and weight & balance data. With airport data and surveillance for over 19,000 runways worldwide, STAR's airport database spans the globe, offering analysis in even the most remote locations. Automated monthly data updates ensure that the system is always using the most up-to-date data.

The Flight Management screen serves as the central hub for the STAR system. From here, the operator begins a flight by entering vital flight information, such as flight number, aircraft, flight date, and departure, arrival, and alternate airports. The operator can then move on to the dedicated Weight & Balance and Runway Analysis screens to enter the respective information and perform calculations. All of the critical results will be transferred back to the Flight Management screen, giving the operator a "snap shot" of all the necessary information needed to takeoff.

The STAR system will take the guess work out of critical weight & balance calculations. The intuitive Weight & Balance screen enables the operator to quickly and accurately perform all the necessary calculations and ensures all loading limits are met. Takeoff weight, CG, and trim tab settings are instantly produced with supreme accuracy.

On the Runway Analysis screen, the STAR system produces maximum performance weights for actual atmospheric, runway, and aircraft systems conditions. By calculating for only one set of conditions, payload can be maximized without compromising safety. Maximum takeoff weights for different runways can be quickly compared, then the operator can select a specific runway to view other important data like power settings, V-speeds, stabilizer settings, and more.

STAR also offers operators the ability to create their own NOTAM shortened runway, a user friendly function that allows for instantaneous, last minute calculations for changes in airport data. This eliminates the rush for obtaining last minute runway analysis and the associated possible flight delays. Shortened runway analysis and emergency fees are also thus eliminated. STAR is a pure self-contained solution for runway analysis.

The STAR advantage will be apparent almost immediately. The first advantage that will be seen by the user is just how easy the system is the operate and how quickly data is calculated. However, the most important benefit will be seen later on - the cost saving STAR will provide to your operation. A major air cargo operation projected an annual savings of over $2,000,000 just in increased fuel efficiency thanks to the performance optimization that STAR provides.
