of a width not exceeding meters. The result is quite difficult to understand which site in a specific period of time the work is carried out. Thanks to the navigation solutions we have
a full evidence base. Our work can be evaluated on the basis of provided customers tracks the movement of aircraft”.
Equally important is safety. In addition to navigation and communications equipment, the cockpit is equipped with an alarm button. In the case of an emergency situation Manager
