Aviation or Air transport system both refers to the activities surrounding air craft and mechanical flights industry. Aircraft includes fixed-wing and rotary-wing types, morphable wings, wing-less lifting bodies, as well as lighter-than-air craft such as balloons and airships.
4. How satellites safeguard your safe passage
• Satellite-aided ATC
When an aircraft is out of range of VHF/UHF radio, such as in oceanic airspace, satellite services
enable satellite-aided air traffic control (ATC). The ability to have reliable communications with
ground-based controllers at all times, on all major oceanic routes, is an important safety feature.
• Automatic dependent surveillance (ADS)
Satellite communication facilitates the automatic reporting of an aircraft’s real-time position,
including altitude, speed and heading, via satellite to air traffic control centres, helping controllers
know where an aircraft is at all times.
• Controller / pilot datalink communications (CPDLC)
Satellite communication also enables the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting
System (ACARS) routing instructions, clearances and other messages that need to be sent directly to
the cockpit as electronic data messages
• Voice services
Satellite services also support air traffic control and critical airline voice communications when the
aircraft is out of VHF radio range. The aircraft systems are set up so that cockpit communications
have priority over any of the passenger communications, so maximizing safety and reliability.
6. History
• TheFirst World War brought about an urgent need for
communications. Voice communications from ground-to-air
and from aircraft to aircraft were established
• In the 1930s, the first all radio-controlled blind-landing was
accomplished. By the end of the decade, use of high frequency
radio waves was explored and included the advent of high-
frequency radar.
• World War II injected urgency into the development of aircraft radio
communication and navigation. Communication radios, despite
their size, were essential on board aircraft. Very high frequencies
were developed for communication and navigationalpurposes.
7. Radio Frequency
• Airband or aircraft band is the name for a group of
frequencies in the VHF radio spectrum allocated to radio
communication in aviation. Different sections of the band
are used for radio navigational aids and air traffic control.
• VHF is used for line-of-sight ground-to-aircraft and
aircraft-to-aircraft communications, land mobile and
maritime mobile communications, amateur
radio, weather radio.
• Frequency range for VHF is 30 to 300 MHz
9. CNS/ATM
• In aviation CNS stands for Clear Communication,
accurate Navigation and Surveillance-based control
and guidance have long been important for safe and
efficient flying.
• Communications, navigation and surveillance
systems, employing digital technologies, including
satellite navigation systems together with various
levels of automation, applied in support of a
seamless global air traffic management system.
10. CNS
Communication
VHF can transmit information only as fast as a person can speak coherently.
Technology such as controller-pilot data link communications (CPDLC) can
significantly reduce the demand for bandwidth and time.
Navigation
Required navigation performance (RNP) equipment must have on-board
performance monitoring and alerting systems to provide assurance the
system is working properly
Surveillance
automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B). This technology uses
GNSS equipment and a transponder-like broadcaster to determine the
aircraft’s height, position and speed, and broadcasts this, along with its
identity, twice per second.
11. Benefits
The main benefits of CNS/ATM are:
• increased aircraft capacity, especially in congested
airspace
• increased schedule flexibility
• better flight path efficiency
• less disruption due to delays and diversions
12. Aviation system in Pakistan
Air Traffic Management (ATM) Pakistan
• Air traffic services are used to manage the safe and
orderly flow of aircraft into, out of, and across
Pakistan airspace including those portions of high
seas for which the responsibility has been delegated
to Pakistan under Regional Air Navigation
Agreements.
