At Copperchase, we understand that the successful deployment of critical aviation systems goes far beyond the supply of state-of-the-art technology. It culminates in precise, professional, and reliable ATC installations. Leveraging our extensive experience in the aviation marketplace and our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions, our installation services ensure your new systems are seamlessly integrated, fully functional, and ready to perform from day one.
A Meticulous and Expert-Led Process
Our ATC installations service is designed to minimise disruption while maximising efficiency and adherence to the highest industry standards. We deploy skilled teams who are intimately familiar with the complexities of aeronautical ground lighting, meteorological systems, flight data management, and message handling systems.
Key Aspects of our Installation Process:
- Pre-Installation Planning and Site Survey: Before any equipment arrives, our team conducts thorough site surveys and collaborates closely with your operational staff. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of your infrastructure, environmental conditions, and specific requirements, allowing us to anticipate challenges and optimise the installation strategy.
- Adherence to Standards and Regulations: All installations are executed in strict accordance with relevant international and national aviation standards, including ICAO SARPs and UK Civil Aviation Authority requirements where applicable. Our commitment to a safety-first approach extends to every aspect of physical deployment and system configuration.
- Professional Hardware Deployment: Whether it’s the modular construction of an Aeronautical Ground Lighting Control & Monitoring System, the distributed meteorological sensors of METSYS, or the robust server infrastructure for AFTN/AMHS gateways, our engineers ensure precise and secure physical installation of all components. This includes careful cabling, power management, and environmental considerations.
- Software Integration and Configuration: Installation isn’t just about hardware. Our experts meticulously install and configure all necessary software, including proprietary Copperchase applications (like FDMS, AFTERM, AFSWITCH, AMHS Term, AMHSGate, AMHSConnect) and third-party components. This ensures seamless communication between system elements and optimal performance.
- System Testing and Validation: Post-installation, rigorous testing and validation are paramount. We conduct comprehensive system checks, functional tests, and integration tests to verify that every component is operating as specified and that the entire system performs reliably within your existing infrastructure. This includes simulating various operational scenarios to ensure robustness.
- Calibration and Optimisation: For systems like METSYS or AGL, precise calibration is crucial. Our teams perform necessary calibrations to ensure accuracy and optimal performance, fine-tuning the system to your specific operational environment.
- Documentation and Handover: Upon successful completion, we provide comprehensive documentation, including as-built drawings, configuration details, and maintenance guidelines. A formal handover process ensures your team is fully briefed and comfortable with the new system.
- Post-Installation Support: Our commitment doesn’t end with installation. We offer various levels of post-project support and evaluation, ensuring long-term operational stability and providing assistance should any issues arise.
Choosing Copperchase for your installation means partnering with a team that delivers not just products, but complete, ready-to-operate solutions with precision and unwavering dedication to quality. Our aim is to ensure your critical aviation systems are installed flawlessly, providing the reliable foundation for your continued operations.
