i4D CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
In this image: IBP HMI showing i4D coupled a/c flying towards TMA entry point on an CTA instructed through CPDLC.
i4D continues to advance with the dual integration of FMS data onto the CWP using the Thales IBP and datalink.Major goals have been achieved by
Anders Nyberg of LFV and his team of ATM experts in running the latest real time test simulations on the Thales platform in Malmo Sweden during week 16.
The tests were run in preparation for the upcoming real time simulation to be carried out in May. This simulation will be used for the validation of Exercise 579/204 which
integrates FMS data from the cockpit with the Controller Working Position via datalink and vice versa. The testing this week included the cooperation of several ANSPs and
Airbus. The simulation employed the assistance of the Airbus Flight Simulator located in Toulouse along with the use of pseudo pilots based in Malmo ATCC. The tests
prooved successful with the issuance of CTAs via CPDLC in a timely manner to enable pilots to achieve the optimum profile for their aircraft and also improving the workload
distribution among the various controller working positions.
The testing this week was twofold and incorporated Exercise 366 which is set to validate ”baseline HMI” and i4D HMI with the use of vital data obtained from the team of
experienced controllers, who came together in Malmo from various jurisdictions within NORACON. During the last day of the simulation the efforts were overseen by
Claudio Vaccaro, the project manager for 5.09 who was present at the NORACON facility. The participating ATCOs were asked to fill-in a questionnaire assessing different
aspects of the HMI. This analysis will be an important input to the Operational Workshop on HMI, which will be organized on 26/27 June at Naviair premises in Copenhagen
where the presentation of HMI experiences from all over Europe will be the key issue.
The cooperation and professionalism displayed by all agencies LFV,NAVIAIR,IAA,THALES and AIRBUS was a catalyst in the advancement of this important SESAR work. Once
again, thanks to one and all especially to Anders and his team for their enthusiasm and efforts to prepare the platform and for having the documentation ready on-time.
