INDIA AIDC IMPLEMENTATION STATUS AND ISSUES

• Presented by
• Airports Authority of India
• Mini Seminar AIDC 23rd July 2013

ATM Automation systems in India

• Raytheon(AT3) Delhi, Mumbai
• Raytheon (AT3) Chennai
• Indra (Aircon2100) at 38 mid/small sized airports
• Indra (Aircon2100) at Kolkata Under
  Installation
• Selex ATM System at Bengaluru and Hyderabad
• Kolkata(New ATM system under installation)

AIDC Implementation Issues

• Diverse ATM systems at ATSUs
• Some issues in Aircon2100 (under resolution)
• Non display of NO, CO in radar data block.
• Generation of MAC msg on termination of FPL.
• Route terminator "T" to be configured which
  affects AMAN profile/trajectories of the pairing
  stations
• When the actual boundary ETO in an ABI varies
  from the system calculated ETO (based on the
  EOBT) of the overflying aircraft, the system
  rejects the ABI message with an LRM.
• SSR codes of pairing unit sometimes do not match
  due to limited available codes.

5
Challenges in AIDC Implementation

• Interoperability between diverse ATM Systems.
• Implementation and system design issues
  attributed to revision of AIDC ICD versions.

Suggestions

• HMI for AIDC functionalities may be considered to
  be included in AIDC Guidance Material.
• To avoid prohibitive cost of frequent ATM
  Automation systems upgrade, backward
  compatibility of ICD versions should be assured.
• AIDC messages need time bound response within a
  short span of time for effective operations.
  Therefore, higher priority than normal flight
  plan messages may be considered for AIDC messages.
