http://eads.net/1024/es/pressdb/pressdb/20091026_airbus_btv_easa.html

Following recent successful development testing, "Brake-To-Vacate"
(BTV) and "Runway Overrun Warning and Prevention" (ROW/ROP) have both
been approved and certified for the Airbus A380 by the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). BTV is an Airbus innovation in pilot
aid to ease airport congestion and improve runway turnaround time, and
ROW/ROP addresses runway excursion risk at landing. Both BTV and
ROW/ROP are patented by Airbus.

-Brake-to-Vacate (BTV) overview
-Included function: Runway Overrun Warning (ROW) & Runway Overrun

BTV and ROW/ROP were first trialled on an A340-600 in 2004, and on the
A380 in May 2008. The recent approval and certification by EASA paves
the way for their introduction on the A380 with launch customers Air
France and Lufthansa. BTV & ROW/ROP will also be a standard feature of
the forthcoming A350 XWB aircraft.
