Copperchase install their state-of-the-art ATC Data System at Durham
Tees Valley Airport.
In March 2005, Copperchase Limited supplied Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA)
with a comprehensive ATC Data System for managing their day to day
operations. The total system delivered comprised of a number of
components, including a Meteorological Display System (METSYS); an
Automatic Terminal Information System (ATIS); and a Flight Data Management
System (FDMS).
The Copperchase METSYS replaced their existing Meteorological Observing
system due to changes in current observing/ coding rules imposed by ICAO.
METSYS, which conforms to UK and International (ICAO) standards and
regulations, is a modern data display system that will provide a reliable
weather editor displaying current meteorological information taken from
the airfield sensors.
The Copperchase ATIS was integrated as part of the METSYS. This provides
DTVA with the capability to convert Meteorological and pertinent airport
information into an audible (VHF) voice signal, also available via the
optional PSTN interface
The Copperchase Flight Data Management System (FDMS) assists with the
management of DTVA’s flight information through its ability to maintain a
Database of current flights. By utilising the communications and routing
features of the Copperchase AFTN Gateway - AFGATE on which it is based,
the FDMS will store and automatically apply changes and modifications to
flight plans received.
Brian Wright, SATCA at DTVA commented, ‘We had worked with Copperchase
for over 11 years and had developed a close working relationship with the
engineers. As a proven company, who were able to customise systems to meet
our specific requirements, it was only logical to continue the
partnership’.
Copperchase were able to offer a full Software Support Service. This
service will be used to provide DTVA with technical assistance in order to
restore software to service, offer expert advice, reconfigure or interface
systems, provide software updates and much more"
Copperchase endeavour to supply the highest quality of service to
customers catering for every individual need; whether it’s design, project
management or simply installation services.
Copperchase products have been designed and managed according to the
dictates of IEC61508 Functional Safety: Safety Related Systems and as an
