5. A snapshot of the CNS/ATM system today
Limited view of whole situation
Dependent on where lens is pointed
But: may provide good impression if seen in the right context!

6. AW&ST: FAA says GPS not the only means of navigation.
GLONASS (Russia)
GPS (USA)
AW&ST: FAA says GPS not the only means of navigation.

7. Surveillance
Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS)
ADS IS NOT RADAR!

8. Communication (1) Controller/Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC)
Auckland Oceanic Control Centre (NZ)
Interim system
FANS 1/A
Future: Aeronautical Telecommunications Network

9. Communication (2) Advice:
Do not develop, test and train at the same time!
Cater for the requirements of the operators!
IFATCAPolicy:
"FANS-1/A CPDLC has limitations. These shortcomings must preclude further proliferation of this technology, into states of the world where it is not currently deployed. (…)"

10. Air Traffic Management
Still to be developed
Uncertainties about equipment and procedures
ICAO SARPs not yet available
Introduction in parallel with operation of existing system
Increasing traffic-levels

11. Turning theory into practice
Working Papers from Secretariat (ICAO)
IFATCA Vision Document
 Principles of human centred design
 Adequate training of operators

12. The road to CNS/ATM from here
NOW
START
It requires COMMITMENT!

13. Conclusion To realise the advances will require co-operation:
consultation with the end users
with other system users
with the system itself
