This solution enables the integration of ADS-C data into ground air traffic control (ATC) systems, leveraging the PJ38 ADS-C common service development and infrastructure to provide operational benefits. It allows controllers to use ADS-C information, including enhanced projected profile (EPP) and time of descent (ToD) data, to optimise the initial descent phase and improve terminal operations.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Integration of ADS-C EPP and ToD into ground air traffic control systems to enhance trajectory prediction and operational procedures.

• Improved human-machine interface (HMI) and human factors (HF) performance for controllers.

• Supports safety, predictability, and operational familiarity with airspace user preferred trajectories, promoting “greener flying.”

• Provides actionable resolution advisories and “green parameters” for environmentally efficient operations.

• Tested and validated in realistic operational conditions, potentially using live traffic from participating airlines.

This solution strengthens the connection between airborne and ground systems, enabling more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly air traffic control operations while supporting modern trajectory-based operations.
