The technology to be deployed at Abu Dhabi EACC is almost similar to the guardREC solution at the Abu Dhabi ACC.

GCAA assistant director general Ahmed Al Jallaf said: “The new recording solution will enhance the recording capabilities at the Emirates ACC as well as provide seamless and synchronised flight information to assist in ANS related investigations and our advanced safety management system.”

The current project is part of the GCAA’s aim of attaining a leading, safe, secure and sustainable civil aviation system.

In April, the company received an order to provide Glasgow Prestwick International Airport with its guardREC ATC recording solution.
