Remote Towers

The general perception in the aviation insurance market is that Remote Towers is a step forward

New technology Old technology

Regulation Remote ATS

Single remote control - Rules and regulation will remain the same

Multiple remote control - May need additional regulation

Cross-border control - May need additional regulation

Runway collision Remote ATS

Exposure for Single Remote ATS

Hardware defects/damages Software defects Loss of signal Contingency planning

Liability

AFIS versus ATC Manufacturers versus operator

Cyber security Remote ATS

Liability…

Cyber attacks against ATM Systems Signal interferences

GPS signal spoofing GPS signal jamming

Conclusions

Remote technologies will improve aviation safety and reduce costs

Malicious acts are a threat

Cyber security is a challenge

Insurers want harmonization of regulations
