AAS 1.05 AIR-GROUND DATALINK

The use of air ground Datalink systems has a significant part to play in the evolution of air Traffic Management (ATM), particularly in terms of communication and surveillance. This policy concentrates on the communication aspect. Large quantities of information are … Continued

AAS 1.20 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING IN ATC

Demand will exceed capacity in more parts of the global ATM system in the near future. To relieve congestion and improve efficiency, modernisation will be needed, and AI and ML could provide solutions to the current challenges. There are many … Continued

AAS 1.06 DATALINK APPLICATIONS – THE USE OF LOGICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (LACK)

AAS 1.23 SYSTEM-BASED AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL LICENCE CONCEPT

IFATCA Provisional Policy is: IFATCA does not support ATC licensing concepts under which ATCOs are authorised to provide an ATC service based solely on the automation, equipment and/or systems utilised, because the contribution of ATCO skills and knowledge to the … Continued

AAS 1.08 4D TRAJECTORY CONCEPTS/MANAGEMENT

IFATCA Policy is: Implementation of 4D trajectory management requires appropriately designed airspace. See: Resolution B8, B9 – WP 91 – Toronto 2017, Resolution B7 – WP58 – Virtual 2022 See also: WP 86 – Arusha 2008

AAS 1.09 REMOVAL OF GROUND BASED AIDS

The implementation of GNSS is precipitating the removal of certain ground based navigation aids. IFATCA is concerned that as these GNSS systems are subject to natural temporary degradation and unserviceabilities that there should not be a reliance on a sole … Continued

AAS 1.10 OPERATIONAL USE OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA)

ATC should not have to apply different rules or work with different criteria in order to handle UA. From the air traffic controller’s perspective, the provision of ATS to an UA shall be transparent. This includes all stages of the … Continued

AAS 1.11 “FLY-BY” AND “FLY-OVER” WAYPOINTS

The concept of “fly-by” and “flyover” waypoints is integral to RNAV and as such has been in existence for quite some time. As Performance Based Navigation is being increasingly used to reduce the distances between routes to a minimum, air … Continued
