(1) Air Traffic and Information Management System (ATIMS)
The ATIMS enables the Controller-Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC) (High Frequency (HF) voice in backup) for the air traffic management.
It also enables:
The ATIMS enables the Controller-Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC) (High Frequency (HF) voice in backup) for the air traffic management.
It also enables:
- The exchange of complex data or specific reports between the aircraft and the ground centers
- Automatic reporting (position, intention) for the air traffic surveillance
- Specific communications between the airline and the aircraft (operational control) to improve the airline operational costs and flexibility.
(2) Air Traffic Services (ATS)
The Air Traffic Services include:
The Air Traffic Services include:
- The Air Traffic Control (ATC) Future Air Navigation System (FANS) applications:
. ATS Facilities Notification (AFN) for connection with an ATC ground center
. CPDLC application for datalink communications
. Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) for the aircraft path surveillance. - The ATC ARINC 623 applications:
. Departure clearance (DC) application
. Oceanic Clearance (OC) application
. Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) application.
(3) Airline Information Services
