FLT Flight Safety Technologies,

GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Megadata Corporation (OTC:MDTA) announced today that Flight Safety Technologies, (AMEX:FLT) has purchased PASSUR products as part of their comprehensive program to measure wake vortexes to assist the aviation community in reducing unnecessary delays and improving safety. Flight Safety purchased the following products from Megadata: PASSUR inSight(TM), PASSUR Portal(TM), and PASSUR Pulse(TM). The 'wake vortex' project has the potential for increasing capacity of runways at busy airports by as much as 20%, which is critical in a time of growing traffic congestion," said Bill Cotton, President of Flight Safety Technologies. "The PASSUR technologies for accurate tracking, analysis and reporting are an important component of our project." "Flight Safety is on the front line of introducing innovative technologies that increase the capacity and efficiency of the national airspace; we're pleased our information can contribute to this important goal," said Jim Barry, Megadata's president and CEO. "Our national database includes pin-point aircraft location, and our software analytics provide information on almost any type of aircraft behavior; information that can be instrumental when measuring wake vortexes and their effects on aviation." PASSUR Portal is at the heart of the PASSUR Collaborative Decision Making approach, providing an instant, live snapshot of vital operational information on a "web dashboard" of multiple information sets derived from the one-of-a- kind PASSUR database, and tools for instant information sharing and communication among all users. Portal is the main access point for all other PASSUR web services. PASSUR Pulse gives aviation organizations access to the most complete, accurate and timely activity reports based on the PASSUR database of flight information, including detailed owner/operator information. PASSUR inSight is the only web-based flight following program that combines national en route flight tracking with precision, terminal-area tracking from the PASSUR network of radar, along with a next-generation graphics engine for real-motion tracking and aircraft movement and the renowned PASSUR ETA. The wake vortex detection system, called SOCRATES, is funded by NASA through the DOT Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center).
