About us
We bring modern, cost-effective air traffic control to any airport
Our mission
We started General Aviation to help close the safety gap—giving more airports access to the infrastructure their communities need to thrive.
-
Built to FAA requirements
We design to the FAA’s published requirements for digital towers from the first drawing.
-
5-10% of conventional tower capex
A digital tower costs much less than a traditional one, using modern sensors and software without compromising safety.
-
A human is always in control
Our system watches the runway, the sky, and the frequency, and shows what it sees. The call is always made by a certified controller.
US built & supported
Our digital towers bring together sensors, software, and human expertise to make air traffic control practical for any airport.
- 1
One center, multiple airports
In a future version, controllers will be able to work from staffed regional centers, serving airports that may be far away. Fewer facilities to staff means fewer empty chairs.
- 2
Open after hours
Many towers close at night. A digital tower doesn’t have to. Remote centers can operate through the night, when airborne risks are highest.
- 3
Backup when it counts
When a tower goes down in a storm, fire, or outage, a digital backup keeps control running instead of letting the airspace go dark.
