Study Notes
Air Traffic and Information Management System (ATIMS)
- Developed to enable datalink communications and exchange of complex data between aircraft and ground centers
- Includes Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and automatic reporting for air traffic surveillance
- Combines communication and navigation surveillance systems via datalinks, allowing efficient use of airspace
ATIMS Communication
- Uses data communications between aircraft, airline, and Air Traffic Control (ATC)
- Exchanges complex data or specific reports between aircraft and ground centers
- Automatically reports aircraft position for air traffic surveillance
- Enables airline-aircraft communications to reduce operational costs and improve flexibility
- Communicates via VHF Data Radio, HF Data Radio, or SATCOM for remote areas
ATIMS Components and Interfaced Units
- Includes cabin terminals, such as Passenger Flight Information System (PFIS) and Cabin Passenger Management System (CPMS)
- Supports exchange of ARINC 619 messages hosted in cabin terminals
- Uses Airborne Communication and Reporting System (ACARS) router
Air Traffic and Information Management Functions
- Provides air traffic control and airline operational control
- Supports Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) concepts
- Enables efficient use of airspace
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Application
- Provides aircraft surveillance data to ATC ground center
- Includes aircraft identification, navigation, and position-fixing systems
- Exchanges contracts between ground station and aircraft
ATS Facility Notification Application
- Establishes contact with ATC ground center
- Provides aircraft registration and datalink applications available on aircraft
Future Air Navigation System (FANS)
- Developed as an advanced version of ATIMS with Air Traffic Management (ATM)
- Combines Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems via datalink
- Optimizes use of four-dimensional airspace (including time) to improve airline operations and ATC efficiency
- Offers benefits such as reduced fuel burn, flight time, and increased payload capability
FANS Architecture
- Includes Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems
- Supports flight crew and maintenance applications, such as electronic logbooks and maintenance manuals
- Enables cabin information network services, including internet access and e-commerce
