AAS 1.26 AIRCRAFT AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY SYSTEMS

IFATCA Provisional Policy is: IFATCA recommends the establishment of risk-based procedures and contingency protocols for autonomous emergency aircraft systems. Aircraft autonomous emergency systems shall act in accordance with ICAO procedures for conventionally piloted aircraft to ensure they operate consistently across … 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

AAS 1.12 AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Aircraft Flight Management Systems are in place on almost all transport aircraft in use today. These systems have been developed in order to assist the operation of the aircraft and to improve safety. ATM considerations have generally been a by-product … Continued

AAS 1.13 DETERMINING OPERATIONS READINESS OF NEW ATM SYSTEMS

Modern ATM systems are more and more complex. Safety critical tasks such as Radar Data Processing or Flight Data Processing rely on complex software packages while the increasing volume of air traffic makes the ATM system more and more dependent … Continued

AAS 1.14 SPACE-BASED AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE – BROADCAST

Aireon LLC proposes to use satellites to relay Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADSB) data from suitably equipped aircraft to Air Traffic Service Units (ATSUs) and provide surveillance coverage in what the consortium calls ‘near real-time’ across 100% of the … Continued

AAS 1.15 CONCEPT OF GNSS-BASED ALTITUDE

The use of pressure-based altimeters to determine aircraft altitude has been universal across the globe for most of aviation history. This policy examines alternatives provided by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies. IFATCA Policy is: IFATCA encourages development of technologies … Continued
