<strong>IBI</strong> GROUP <strong>TRANSPORTATION</strong> & <strong>SYSTEMS</strong> | <strong>AIRPORT</strong> / <strong>AVIATION</strong> <strong>SYSTEMS</strong> 17PRECISION APPROACH PATH INDICATORTransport CanadaToronto Ontario<strong>IBI</strong> <strong>Group</strong>/Giffels Assocaites Limited provided engineeringservices to research the frost/dew problem as it relates to thefalse signal of the PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator). Thefirm reviewed existing Transport Canada documentation on thesubject including Aerodrome Safety Circular number 98 002,dated July 24/98, summarized the problems and presentedthe issues to PAPI manufacturers. <strong>IBI</strong> <strong>Group</strong>/Giffels performedan engineering review of the product and discussed thealternatives with each of the manufacturers:SiemensCrouse HindsCEGELEC<strong>IBI</strong> <strong>Group</strong>/Giffels purchased a “single” box unit for retro fitconversion and testing and had the unit tested in a laboratoryin New York. We recorded and summarized the results of thetests, and submitted a final report.INTEGRATED AIRFIELD LIGHTINGCONTROLToronto Pearson International AirportNAV CanadaToronto Ontario<strong>IBI</strong> <strong>Group</strong>/Giffels Associates Limited designed and integratedthe Airfield Lighting Control for Nav Canada’s newly constructedAir Traffic Control Tower at Toronto Pearson InternationalAirport. The Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) intendedto relocate the airfield lighting console as a stand alone system,thus requiring valuable tower space. <strong>IBI</strong> <strong>Group</strong>/Giffels proposedto integrate the airfield lighting application onto Nav Canada’sIntegrated Information Display System (IIDS) network. Thisconcept reduced the number of monitors at each controllersworkstations and allowed several applications to share acommon network.Redundant PC servers connect to the dedicated airfield lightingsystem and provide control and monitoring operation to thetower workstations. For system support and maintenance,these PC servers provide the optimum interface point betweenthe local airport authority (GTAA) and the operating body (NavCanada).The system is the first and only touch screen control panelintegrated with Nav Canada systems, reduces ATC consolerequirements by 25%, and network integration allows graphicscreen to “move” among tower workstations.
