Operational and safety improvements
GIANT has had an extremely positive response, both from pilots and air traffic controllers, and also from equipment manufacturers and operators. The application has several advantages, including considerable improvement in operational safety, as greater cruising stability was noted during testing, and orientation during flight was smoother and more continuous.
Another important advantage of implementing GIANT is the cost saving aspect, as it is an extremely efficient instrument for airports, obviating the need for expensive outlay in installing ground systems.
