- 1. FAMILIARIZATION ON ATS AUTOMATION SYSTEM (AIRCON 2100) 1
- 2. AUTOMATION DEFINITION • It is a technique of operating or controlling a process by automatic means such as by electronic devices reducing human intervention to a minimum. • Automation system provides Air surveillance data (through radars)and flight related information to ATCOs for safe & efficient management of traffic. 2
- 3. REQUIREMENT OF AUTOMATION SYSTEM • The air traffic controller's job consists of complex tasks demanding a high degree of skill and active application of unique cognitive abilities such as spatial perception, information processing. The controller must know where all of the aircraft under his/her responsibility are, and determine how and when to take action to ensure that they remain separated from each other, while also seeing to their requests and needs for descent, climb, take-off, departure, etc. • 3
- 4. CONTINUED • Although it is well accepted that the human controller in the system has performed these tasks more than adequately over the years, it is also accepted that improvements could be made by using decision support software tools. These tools are expected to assist the controller to some degree with conflict prediction, detection, advisory and resolution. • The expectation is that greater degrees of accuracy could be achieved through the sophisticated data processing associated 4
- 5. CONCLUSION • PRIMARY MISSION OF AUTOMATION SYSTEM IS TO ENHANCE AIR TRAVEL SAFETY BY PROVIDING ATCOs WITH INFORMATION CRITICAL TO MAINTAINING AN ORDERLY FLOW OF AIR TRAFFIC IN SAFEST AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY POSSIBLE. 5
- 6. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION • ENHANCED SAFETY, REDUCED DELAYS AND INCREASED AIRPORT CAPACITY • MORE EFFCIENT USEOF AIRSPACE WITH REDUCED SEPERATIONS. • REDUCES CONTROLLER WORKLOAD. 6
