Land-DAR Eases Arrivals with Altitude Callouts
A new lidar-based altitude callout system is designed to help pilots know how high their aircraft is from the ground during landing.

Send Solutions has developed a new laser-based system that can help pilots make better landings more consistently. Called Land-DAR, the device uses lidar (light detection and ranging) to determine height above ground and provide precise audio callouts from 500 to five feet.
