11.21 Information Systems Q's Flashcards
Describe Air traffic and information management systems ATIMS
Simply adds another data channel similar to ACARS which is used by Air traffic control.
The aircraft communication addressing and reporting system ground network receives and dispatches data, what are the back ups?
VHF and HF communications.
Which 3 systems does Future air Navigation FANS combine?
- Communication
- Navigation
- Surveillance.
Which 3 systems are integrated into the MMR Multi mode receiver (Navigation)
- ILS
- GPS
- MLS or DGPS
The Flight managment system FMS uses data provided by?
MMR and other conventional navigational aids, improving dimensional navigation accuracy.
ADSB transmits its operation to ATC using?
The same transponder as the TCAS every half a second.
Which 3 systems form the communications platform for FANS? and which network receives and dispatches the data?
- VHF Data Radio
- HF Data Radio
- SATCOM
Network = ACARS Aircraft Communication Addressing Reporting System
Which system forms the surveillance platform of FANS and provides ADSB?
TCAS - Traffic collision avoidance system
What name is given to the FANS system fitted to aircraft?
Air Traffic Information Management System ATIMS
Which ATIMS component is in charge of receiving ground messages (AOC and ATC), routing them to the right peripheral and acquiring messages or reports from these peripherals and sending them to the ground?
Air Traffic Service Unit ATSU
The DCDU is dedicated to which ATSU application?
