CASE STUDIES
WHAT IS AIRCRAFT RECOVERY?
RESQTEC is your leading airport recovery equipment specialist. To understand why,
you should learn about aircraft recovery first.
When aircraft veers off or overruns the runway during landing or take off, this is called a runway excursion. After this happens, aircraft cannot operate independently. Therefore, it must be removed from the runway. That way, it doesn’t lead to long runway closure. This is called aircraft recovery: the timely and safe removal of aircraft. Runway excursions are the most common type of accident reported annually. Thus, it is very important to prepare for one. As a matter of fact, RESQTEC can help you.
COMPLEXITIES OF AIRCRAFT RECOVERY
Aircraft recovery is a very complex process. Also, it carries a lot of risks. Therefore, RESQTEC offers different ways
of helping you with those. That way, you are prepared in case of aircraft recovery.
RUNWAY EXCURSION A HIGHLY UNDERESTIMATED RISK
A highly underestimated risk. That is what a runway excursion is. It occurs twice every week worldwide. The recovery
of aircraft can be a time-consuming operation. Also, the direct costs run in the millions. For example, runway closure
at a main airport can even drive-up costs to three million dollar per day. RESQTEC is there to help you. Together, we
can keep the runway closure at a minimum. As a result, your runway can re-open in four to eight hours.
POSSIBLE SCENARIOS OF AIRCRAFT RECOVERY
There are six possible scenarios in which a runway excursion occurs and aircraft needs to be recovered. These scenarios
are listed based upon occurrence. Not only do they provide a good basic understanding on the complexities deriving from
an aircraft recovery, but also RESQTEC can help you with all six scenarios. Of course, you can contact us to find out which
aircraft recovery kit is right for your needs. Each recovery is different and asks for different materials. These are the
immediate results:
- There is no image loss
- Flight cancellations are minimal
- Ticket sales continue
- Losses as a result from a blocked runway are minimal
- There always is trained personnel and adequate recovery equipment acting as an insurance policy for your airport or carrier
- There is no secondary damage to the aircraft. As a result, you will have a quicker recovery.
