Upgrade of the Copperchase ATC AFTN Messaging System
Despite the COVID Pandemic, Copperchase has managed to successfully build, install, and commission (all remotely) an ATC Message Processing System for Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) International Airport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The project is an Upgrade of the Copperchase ATC AFTN Messaging System, a system that has been in use in the ATC environment at RAK International Airport since 2006. The upgrade involves transition from legacy AFTN circuits to faster and reliable IP based AMHS network. However, due to the requirement to support existing systems, AMHS-AFTN conversion has been included for ATM tracks correlation.
All Hardware for this project was built and supplied by Copperchase in the UK,
The upgrade is fully compliant to Basic AMHS service level and to a wide extent the Extended service level like support of FTBP messages. The applications providing elements of functionality have upgraded/changed to the following functions: –
- ATC Message Interface
- Transitioned to AMHS X.400 P3 link to UAE ACC.
- ATC Message Processing
- The new ATC Message system utilises Copperchase ATC MESSAGING and the Microsoft SQL Database.
- ATC Message Client
- AMHSTERM – The Copperchase AMHS Terminal (AMHSTERM) is an ICAO SARPs compliant X.400 User Agent, which allows end users to send and receive ATC messages. It has been specifically designed with the needs of ATS operators in mind, providing a full set of ICAO 4444 forms in addition to viewing of messages in a queue, similar to an email client application, allowing users to distinguish between read and unread messages, delete or store messages as templates for later use.

Enhancing Aviation Safety with Cockpit Voice Recorders And Flight Data Recorders
According to statistics, aviation is safer than ever, with the number of airline accidents in the last three decades falling by half every 10 years. Technological advances have underpinned more robust safety in the industry, with two important devices – Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs) and Flight Data Recorders (FDRs) – driving improvements. Popularly referred to as ‘black boxes’, these instruments work alongside Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems to ensure the safety of aircraft at every stage of their journeys. In this article, we’ll explore five ways that CVRs and FDRs enhance aviation safety.
Unlocking the Future of Aviation: The Importance Of IFP Design Services
As the world’s airspace becomes increasingly congested, accurate flight planning has never been more important. Crowded skies and poor aircraft coordination increase the risk of catastrophic events, so Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) design services play a key role in ensuring that aircraft follow the safest and most efficient routes.
How A Flight Data Monitoring System
Every flight generates a vast amount of data, within which are patterns that can reveal potential safety risks before they become serious problems.
