Air France 447 (June 2, 2009) • BEA Recommendations (2012)
MH 370 (March 8, 2014)
• MMGFT (May 2014) • ICAO ANC & ANB AHWG
Background:
• ATTF • GADSS Concept • 2nd ICAO High Level Safety Conference • ICAO Standard for Aircraft Tracking • GADSS Trials
Developments
ATTF
• Automated aircraft tracking • Triggering to increase rate • Existing capabilities • Best practices
GADSS Concept • Framework document • High level requirements • Normal flight tracking • Abnormal situations
Aircraft tracking service
• Normal tracking: every 15 minutes • Abnormal situation: every 60 seconds • Operator responsibility • Outside ATS surveillance
ATTF
• Existing capabilities • Best practices • Automated aircraft tracking
• GADSS • Voluntary implementation of global tracking • ICAO-led demonstration of global flight tracking
implementation • WRC-15 to provide spectrum allocations for global
ATS surveillance • Montreal Declaration by DGCAs
Second ICAO High Level Safety Conference
Proposed ICAO Standard on Aircraft Tracking
• Performance criteria: ATTF • Position every 15 minutes • Operator or ATS • Flight dispatch requirement • Applicable November 10, 2016 • NATII begins summer 2015
NATII
• Multi-national • Current equipment • Develop guidance
material
GADSS Trials
ADS-C
• Inmarsat • Airservices Australia • Qantas • Virgin Australia
• ATS Surveillance (radar, ADS-B) fulfills operators’ flight tracking requirements
• Update interval meets normal and abnormal criteria
• ATS responsible to monitor flight safety • ATS responsible for RCC notifications • ADS-C can also fulfill tracking - ATM costs?
Implication for ANSPs
Global ATS surveillance = Global tracking
• Global emergency tracking service
• Free of charge, offered as a public service
Aireon ALERT
Questions? How do ANSPs ensure alignment with Operators?
How do ANSPs balance their investments to support Aircraft Tracking (present vs future technology)?
Can ANSPs find solutions that bring added value to the ATS system over and above Flight Tracking?
Thank you
