A traffic alert and collision avoidance system (TCAS), pronounced / ˈ t iː k æ s / TEE-kas), also known as an Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS), [1] is an aircraft collision avoidance system designed to reduce the incidence of mid-air collision (MAC) between aircraft.
This diagram illustrates the nested/interlocking domains or factors that make up the 5M model used for troubleshooting and risk assessment, especially in traffic industries. Man, Machine, and Medium form three interlocking circles, with Mission at the intersection, and the space surrounding them representing the prevailing Management approach.
An Air Malta crewman performing a pre-flight inspection of an Airbus A320.. Aviation safety is the study and practice of managing risks in aviation.This includes preventing aviation accidents and incidents through research, educating air travel personnel, passengers and the general public, as well as the design of aircraft and aviation infrastructure.
In aviation, an air traffic service (ATS) is a service which regulates and assists aircraft in real-time to ensure their safe operations. In particular, ATS is to: prevent collisions between aircraft; provide advice of the safe and efficient conduct of flights; conduct and maintain an orderly flow of air traffic;
The TopSky (formerly EUROCAT) [1] system is a computerised air traffic control and management solution [buzzword] developed by Thales Air Systems (formerly Thomson CSF). [2] It utilises a distributed computing architecture and is capable of integrating geographically dispersed air traffic control units within a Flight Information Region (e.g. control towers at different airports and en route ...
The Guild of Air Traffic Control Officers (GATCO) is a guild of air traffic controllers which began organising in 1952 and was established in 1954. [1] In 2004, it had over 2000 members [2] spread over 125 locations [3] in the UK and overseas in both civilian and military sectors.
The academy located in Sweden at Malmö Airport called EPN – Entry Point North. EPN provides AFIS training with and without radar as well as refresher training, continuation training and development training. The basic school training is approximately 13 weeks long and needs to be followed by national training and unit training. [5] [6]
ATM encompasses both airspace and ground airport operations. Since the rise of computer sciences, risk management and decision-making are software-assisted. Recent system developments balance interests of airspace and runways on one side, and capacity overloads for taxiway network and terminals on the other. [9
