Airbus ROPS: Landing within the runway length in all conditions

Airbus’ patented Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) – certified for the company’s A320, A330, A350 and A380 families of aircraft – increases pilots’ situational awareness during landing, reduces exposure to runway excursion risk, and if necessary, provides active protection.
