INTRODUCTION
 AIM

• AIM OF THIS PAPER IS TO UNDERSTAND

THE MODERN NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
AVAILABLE FOR USE AND THEIR IMPACT ON
AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES IN INDIAN AIR
FORCE.
 EVOLUTION OF MODERN
NAVIGATION AIDS
• BOOM IN AVIATION INDUSTRY
• INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AIRCRAFT BY
DOUBLE BY 2030
• CAN BE ACCOMODATED WITH EFFICIENT
AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
• EVOLUTION OF FANS (FUTURE AIR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
 EVOLUTION OF MODERN
NAVIGATION AIDS
• EVOLUTION OF FANS (FUTURE AIR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM)

– AFN - AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES FACILITIES

– ADS – A OR ADS-C AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT
SURVEILLANCE – ADDRESSED OR AUTOMATIC
DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE - CONTRACT
– CPDLC - CONTROLLER/PILOT DATA LINK
COMMUNICATION
 EVOLUTION OF MODERN
NAVIGATION AIDS
• EVOLUTION OF FANS (FUTURE AIR
NAVIGATION SYSTEM)

– RNP – REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE

– RTA – REQUIRED TIME OF ARRIVAL
– FLIGHT PLAN UPDATES
 ADVANTAGES
• ON IMPLEMENTATION OF FANS

– REDUCED SEPARATION
– MORE EFFICEIENT ROUTES CHANGES
– SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
– NO ALTITUDE LOSS
– MORE DIRECT ROUTINGS
 ADVANTAGES
• REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE
– IMPROVED FOUR DIMENSIONAL NAV ACCURACY
– HIGH INTEGRITY, HIGH ACCURACY
– COST SAVINGS
– IMPROVED AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES
 ADVANTAGES
• FUTURE CNS/ATM SYSTEM COMMN
– EFFICIENT LINKAGES
– IMPROVED HANDLING
– REDUCED CHANNEL CONGESTION
– INTER-OPERABLE COMMUNICATION MEDIA
– REDUCED WORKLOAD
 IMPACT ON ATS IN IAF
• ENHANCED SAFETY
• MORE FLEXIBLE ATM OPERATIONS
• SURVEILLANCE CAPABILITY
• REDUCED CONGESTION
• EFFICIENT USE OF AIRSPACE
 IMPACT ON ATS IN IAF
• ENHANCED MET INFO
• REDUCED CONTROLLERS WORKLOAD
• REDUCTION OF VOICE CONGESTION
• ENHANCED FLIGHT SAFETY
 IMPACT ON ATS IN IAF
• NEW TECHNOLOGIES BRINGS BENEFITS
AND CONSTRAINTS ALSO AND REQUIRES
PHASED IMPLEMENTATION NAMELY

– EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS
– EFFECTS ON PILOTS AND CONTROLLERS
– CAPABILITY OF NEW SYSTEM
– PROTECTED AGAINST UNAUTHORISED ACCESS
 IMPACT ON ATS IN IAF
– ACCOMMODATE FUTURE GROWTH
– ACCOMMODATE PRESENT SYSTEM
– ACCOMMODATE VARIABLES IN QUALITY
STANDARDS AND PERFORMANCE
 CONCLUSION
• BENEFITS ARE VERY CLEAR
• NEED TO MODERNISE IS APPARENT
• IAF TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY STEPS
TOWARDS THE PROCESS
• WILL HAVE POSTITIVE IMPACT ON FUTURE
OPERATIONS AND ATS IN IAF
