COPPERCHASE ATC DATA SYSTEMS


Copperchase’s range of integrated ATC Data Management products simplify the collation and dissemination of data within the ATC environment. 
Built upon the facilities of Copperchase’s Message Processing Systems, the ATC Data Systems provide a range of End Systems that support a number of key ATC facilities for Tower, Approach and other environments.

FDMS – Flight Data Management System
FDMS provides ATC staff (Departure and Approach Control) with a tool for managing flight information and the generation of Flight Progress Strips, through its ability to maintain a database of flights. Using the communications and routing features of Copperchase’s AFTN Router, the FDMS will store and automatically apply changes and modifications to flight plans received on the AFTN.  Standard formatted strips are automatically printed at specific times prior to EOBT/ETOA, and if necessary these are reprinted with updated information at nominated positions.The FDMS is ‘CFMU Aware’, and adjusts flight departures according to the dictates of the Eurocontrol Central Flow Management Unit. A Departure Slot Monitor (DSM) is available as a separate module.  Additional facilities include RPL Management (Eurocontrol RPL input format), Movement Logs and Reports, On-Line Data Interchange (OLDI), and Electronic Strip.

ATIS – Automatic Terminal Information System
ATIS is an Automatic Flight Information System that merges the current Meteorological and Air Traffic Control information on an airfield and converts it into an audible, vocal signal.This ATIS signal can then be distributed via Datalink (ACARS), radio transmitter, or any other audio device (such as a telephone network). Aircrew can tune into the correct radio frequency to hear the ATIS transmission, thus reducing the Controller-Pilot radio chatter on initial contact.The Copperchase ATIS supports the transmission of the ATIS broadcast in English and a local language.

METSYS – Meteorological Display System
METSYS comprises a number of MET Displays, a Data Gathering processor, and a suite of sensors, which measure, collect and disseminate weather data at an airfield.The MET Displays present these meteorological attributes on a number of dedicated screens at strategic places within the ATC environment (VCR, RDR and Briefing). METSYS can be used effectively with the Copperchase ATIS to provide a semi-automated meteorological observation system.

AIS and NOTAM Management
The AIS Management System collects NOTAM and other information to ensure the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation.The system complies with ICAO Annex 15 and Document 8126. It can be used as a server for the Pre-Flight Briefing System - either locally or from the Internet. 

 

Pre-Flight Briefing Terminal
The Briefing Terminal provides a Pre-Flight Information Bulletin (PIB) Service for use by Occasional Fliers, Aircraft Operators (AOs) and Air Traffic Services (ATS). It provides access to a source of worldwide MET, NOTAM and Aviation charts - either from a local source (AIS NOTAM Management, above) or via the Internet from our own servers, based in the UK.
