Copperchase install ATC data system at London Ashford Airport (Lydd)

London Ashford Airport at Lydd, on the south-east coast of the UK, has embarked on a development programme aimed to increase passenger capability to 2 million a year.

As part of the major development plans, a new ATC tower has been constructed to manage the increased level of traffic.

Copperchase Ltd, one of the UK's leading providers of aviation data management systems and ATE services, recently completed the installation of a state-of-the-art ATC data system.

The supplied solution includes AFTN (AFGATE and AFTERM) and MET (METSYS), which have been deployed as the first phase of a complete system installation. This will provide London Ashford (Lydd) ATC with a number of facilities. These include the ability to:

  • Connect to the AFTN to send and receive pertinent AFTN messages
  • Automatically send METARs over the AFTN
  • Provide a visual reference for MET conditions at the airfield
  • Automatically upload data from airfield sensors and display information at ATCO, ATCA and other required positions
  • Add terminals to the local AFTN
  • Add further functions at a later stage, such as FDMS, Strip Printing and ATIS.

 

SATCO at London Ashford (Lydd) Airport, Tim Maskens, said, “I am very pleased with both the system we have installed and the way in which it was installed. Already, after just a few days, the benefits are enormous and we’re looking forward to moving to the next stage with Copperchase. The system capabilities are well beyond my expectations.”

Ben Griffin from Copperchase added, “It’s been a pleasure creating the partnership with London Ashford (Lydd) Airport and we also look forward to extending the relationship with the next phase. It’s great to see the Copperchase equipment being integrated as well as this – yet another success story for our total Data Systems Solution.”

This solution has been implemented by highly experienced professionals to an exceptional standard of quality, safety and suitability.
