1 Introduction
1.1 Scope
The scope of this manual is the operational description of the graphic tool designed in order to configure SDD colours, label tracks and tabulars, so they can be customized.
1.2
General System Description
The AIRCON 2100 System is based on a standard product developed by Indra. At the same time, the operational system is supplemented with an autonomous simulator and being addressed to controllers for training purposes to allow analysis of new operational procedures. AIRCON 2100 represents the last product generation and its architecture is based on the experience gained in the development of open systems for the displaying and processing of radar data and flight plans, found on numerous systems installed in Spain (SACTA System), Canada, Germany, Norway, Holland and India. One of the main characteristics of the system is its availability, due to the employment of redundant elements on a distributed scenario, and to the use of tested and highly reliable commercial equipment. The software architecture of the system is determined by its modularity and distribution and has been organized using distributed discrete processes for the different subsystems. At the same time, the system makes use of communication by messages, both for intercommunications between tasks and for its synchronicity. In order to assure a maximum level of maintenance, communications and application tasks have been isolated. The software running in the system has been tested and proved extensively in different emplacements and during longs periods and, therefore, Indra can guarantee that no additional developments of any kind are required for its correct and stable operation. The Operating System used is RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 5. Following figure shows a full-featured architecture for the AIRCON 2100 System: AIRCON 2100 includes all the necessary functionality required in a modern ATC system. Its main elements are following described: The integration of all its subsystems is performed via:
Local Area Network (LAN). A redundant five (5) category with a 1-Gigabyte bandwidth capacity LAN is used and, therefore, future updates of the system can be easily implemented making use of standard communication protocols. Main components:
Flight Data Processing (FDP). It is based on INTEL redundant computers. It manages the flight plans generated within the System or coming from external sources, including the Repetitive Flight Plans (RPLs). It confirms all flight data inputs, calculates the flights progression and keeps all controllers inform by means of screen displays and flight plan strips printing. The System is designed in redundant configuration, having an FDP as operative and another one as reserve, with the possibility to switch them. Surveillance Data Processor (SDP). It is based on INTEL redundant computers. It receives and processes data (primary, secondary and meteorological) coming from the radar sites. Next, it performs the merge all the received information to create a coherent airspace picture for controllers (SDD) presentation. It also performs
Page 1-1
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA06
surveillance tasks (STCA, MTCD) between aircraft and integrates the radar information and the flight plan information in order to get a precise tracking. The System is duplicated (operative/reserve) being possible to switch them.
Radar Communications Processor (RDCU). It centralizes the System radar communications to interpret and convert the received radar formats to join them. The System is composed of two RDCU units working parallel. It is possible to carry out the received radar data reproduction during an established period. Situation Data Display (SDD). It is based on powerful workstations that receive data processed by both the SDP and the FDP. Later on, it manages all these information for a coherent displaying at the controllers screens (SDD). At the same time, it displays additional relevant information such as geographic maps, meteorological data, etc. Flight Data Display (FDD). It displays information concerning flight plans not supplying data display of data on air situation. It allows controllers to perform adjustments on flight plans and other significant data.
Controlling positions:
Control and Monitoring Display (CMD). It performs a continuous real time supervision of the System. It also allows monitoring and System elements status change, sectorization modification, management of certain configurable parameters, etc. Auxiliary equipment:
Common Timing Facility (CTF). It receives the GPS time, which is spread to all the subsystem (via LAN) and all clocks (via Terminals) with NTP protocol. Data Recording Facilities (DRF). It performs the continuous recording of tracks, flight plans data and controller actions to allow a later reproduction and analysis.
Data Base Management (DBM). It provides the necessary facilities the creation and modification of the adaptation databases to supply the system with the precise knowledge of its geographical environment to achieve the required efficiency. From this database, all necessary data to define the control centre characteristics are defined (fixpoints, aerodromes, airways, sectorization, adjacent control centres, QNH zones, etc.) Simulator environment:
Simulator (SIM). It provides to the controllers an operational replica of the real scenario for training purposes. It is a multiple exercise simulator system and allows the use of several exercises, simultaneously and independently. It allows the analysis of new operational procedures as well as the management and maintenance of the full set of sessions and exercises recorded in the Simulation Library. It also allows the creation of new exercises, the selection of training scenarios and provides a complete set of interactive capacities in order to guarantee full control and management. Instructor Pilot Position (PILOT SM). It allows the training scenarios selection, session control and control of aircraft simulated interactively in such a way that from this position the communication answer to the control positions is generated. Exercise Manager (ATG/EPP). From this unit simulation, exercises are managed.

Glossary of Terms
Actual Time of Departure (ATD) An aircraft, which is just taking off, has performed a tacking manoeuvre (some seconds after the wheels lose contact with the runway) at the time. Actual Time of Arrival (ATA) An aircraft, which is landing, reduces speed to TAXI phase speed at the time. Adaptation Set of system-specific data adapted by and used by a system. Adaptation Data Values entered into the System to control processes such as definition of Flight Plan insertion into a List, activation/inhibition of certain alerts, etc. Adjust Correction Correction (azimuth and range) applied to all plots received from the radar when the System detects an adjustment error. The adjustment error is calculated by subtracting the range and azimuth of the fixed transponder (received from the radar) from the nominal values, which are within the adaptation data for the fixed transponder. ADS Contract Agreement between the ADS ground-user and the ADS air-user, that is, the latter one will provide reports to the former one under the conditions specified in the contract. Aerodrome Defined area (including any buildings, installations, and equipment) intended to be used either wholly or in part for arrival, departure and surface movement of aircraft and operational vehicles. Aircraft An either craft flies in the air fixed or rotary wing. Airway It is a corridor for air traffic that is equipped with radio navigational aids, which is used by the aircraft to maintain its position within the corridor. An airway is defined by a series of fixpoints.
Page A-7
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA06
Aircraft Identification (ACID or Callsign) A group of alphanumeric characters used to identify an aircraft in air-to-ground communications. Airspace It is a volume, above the earth surface, to a specified altitude. It can be designated to be under the control of an air traffic controller. Altitude Vertical distance of a level, a point, or an object considered as a point, measured from mean sea level. Altitude Filter Operational display filter that suppresses the display of tracks whose corresponding altitude is not within the filter limits. Tracks assumed by the display are not subject to filtering. Bypass Mode SDD mode of operation indicating that the radar data processing feeding the display of the SDD is mono-radar tracking running in SDD processor. The information coming from SDP central server (if it is running) is not taken into account by the SDD. Collimation Error It is composed of a range error and an azimuth error. The collimation error is calculated when the primary plot reinforces a secondary plot by calculating the primary plot differences in range and azimuth from the secondary plot. Conflict Predicted converging of aircraft in space and time, which constitutes a violation of a given set of minimum separations. Conflict Alert Predictive function, which involves the monitoring of all aircraft-pairs, equipped with Mode C transponders. Conflict Alert warns the controller of potential collisions due to airspace violations. Controlled Airspace Airspace of defined dimensions, which supplies air traffic control service for flights controlled by a controller. Controller Person authorized to provide air traffic control service. Coordination Process Procedure to reach an agreement on clearances, control transference, advice or information to be communicated to aircraft by means of information interchange between air traffic services dependencies or between controller working positions within those dependencies. Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) A means of communication between controller and pilot, using data link for ATC communications. Correlation Assignment process (manually or automatically) of radar track and a flight plan based on predefined criteria. Cruising Level A level maintained during a significant portion of a flight.
Graphic Tool Interface User Manual Use or Disclosure of this information is subject to the restrictions on the tile page of this document Page A-8

CTOT Departure estimated time of a FP controlled by CFMU. Current Flight Plan (CPL) Flight plan, including changes, if any, brought about by subsequent clearances. Fixpoint Reference point specified either by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude), a name, or as a distance and bearing from a navigational aid. Flight Data Data related to real or foreseen movements of an aircraft, usually displayed in abbreviated or in code form. Flight Information A service provided for giving advice and information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flights. Flight Level A surface of constant atmospheric pressure that is related to a specific pressure datum, 1013.2 hectopascals (hPa), and is separated from other such surfaces by specific pressure intervals. Flight Plan Defined information that, with respect to a projected flight or part of an aircraft flight is subjected to the ATC facilities. Flight Plan Route Planned or actual specified path of an aircraft using some or all of the following items: departure aerodrome, SID, Fixes, Airways, Holding Pattern, STAR, and/or destination aerodrome. FP Strip It is a device including information on a flight progress and status. These are displayed on the specific working positions to communicate the flight information to the controller in charge. FUA With the FUA (Flexible Use of Airspace Concept) application, the airspace is not divided into civil and military but it is considered as a unique continuous and assigned airspace taking into account the user requirements. The FUA Concept allows the maximum-shared use of the airspace by improving the civil/military coordination. The FUA Concept application guarantees that any airspace segregation is temporal and based on a real use during a specific period. Hand-Over Procedure Process to transfer flights between controllers. Heading Direction to which the aircraft longitudinal axis is pointed, usually expressed in degrees from North (true, magnetic, compass or grid). The grid north is an imaginary direction parallel to the Greenwich meridian measured in the true North sense. Height Vertical distance of a level, a point or an object considered as a point, measured from a specified datum (ground).
Page A-9
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA06
Leader Line It joins the data label to its corresponding track. Level A generic term relating to the vertical position of an aircraft in flight, which indistinctly means, height, altitude, or flight level. Lost FP A track (aircraft) is lost when a radar return has not been received for a particular target. When this happens, the target tracker projects a target position based on the targets previous positions and generates a new track position update for the display. A lost track is dropped from both the display and the target trackers database if its lost time exceeds a Variable System Parameter limit. Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD) Predictive function, which involves the monitoring of the trajectory of all the System flight plans under control of the ATC centre. The MTCD function alerts the controller on the potential violation of separation criteria (longitudinal, lateral and vertical). Minimum Safe Altitude Warning (MSAW) It is a predictive function, which involves the monitoring of all aircrafts reporting valid altitude data messages. MSAW warns the controller of potential collisions with ground-based objects. Mode 3/A See SSR Code. Mode C Setting on the aircraft transponder equipment that sends pulses situating the aircraft pressure altitude. Mono-radar Track Information set, evolving in time, related to an aircraft, based upon radar information received from a unique radar site and used by the computer for tracking purposes. Multi-radar Track Information set, evolving in time, related to an aircraft and obtained from the synthesis of all monoradar tracks that represent the above referenced aircraft.

Quick-look Function to display manually a track label for information purposes. Radar A device which, by measuring the time interval between transmission and reception of radio pulses and correlating the angular orientation of the radiated antenna beam or beams in azimuth and/or elevation, provides information on range, azimuth, and/or elevation of objects in the path of the transmitted pulses. Recording System common information and local information (each SDD) methodically gathered in a specific period. Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) Within the airspace it represents a change of significant meaning to the operational environment of involved sectors and centres. STCA RVSM and MTCA RVSM are STCA and MTCA with calculus taking into account the RVSM in sectors where RVSM applies. Restricted Area Defined airspace volume, where the flights are restricted under certain conditions, or where, dangerous activities for flights are performed. Runway A defined rectangular area on a land aerodrome prepared for the aircraft landing and take-off. Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) Radar sensor used to interrogate aircraft transponder equipment to receive SSR Codes, barometric pressure information, and/or the SPI. The Mode 3/A SSR Codes are used to identify individual flights in ATS. When the SSR detects a flight, its SSR Code is used to correlate the flight with the corresponding Flight Plan. SSR Codes assignment and management is a fundamental part of the civil ATS systems. As SSR Codes are based on 4 octal-digits, there are only 4096 available codes to use around the world. Sector Designated control area subdivision, which belongs to a controller or to a small group of controllers. The entire sector must belong to one controller jurisdiction at a time. In addition, sectors composing a controller jurisdiction must be adjacent. Sectorization It is an action to alter the current existing configuration when changing the allocation of some or all sectors with respect to the working positions.

Short Term Conflict Alert (STCA) It is a predictive function, which involves the monitoring of all aircraft pairs, which are equipped with Mode C transponders. Conflict Alert warns the controller of potential collisions due to airspace violations. Situation Data Display (SDD) The computer display where Air Traffic Controllers view targets (aircraft) and radar returns. Special Position Identification (SPI) Feature of aircraft transponder equipment that, when it is enabled, causes the aircrafts corresponding Present Position Symbol (PPS) to change to the Special Purpose Indicator on the SDD. This PPS is used to differentiate the aircrafts PPS from others that may be in the same immediate area. SSR Code Four-octal digit code sent from aircraft transponder to identify uniquely the aircraft. Standard Instrument Departure (SID) It is a special route overflown by an aircraft during its take-off (using the <Take Off> command). A SID connects an airway to an airport and it is defined by a series of fixpoints/level pairs that begin at or near the departure runway and end at or near the airway. Synthetic Track Type of track generated by the System upon controllers request. A special track symbol distinguishes these tracks from the real ones. Terminal It is the computer and application software. Terminals are grouped together in various combinations to form a working position. Test Plot It is radar information that responds to a fixed transponder. Track It is the projection on the earth surface of the aircraft route. The route direction at any point is expressed in degrees (magnetic North). Track Label Collection of tabular data displayed on one to four lines. The data label is linked to its corresponding track by a leader line. Track Symbol It is a visual representation of a type of track. Traffic Flow Set of reports, which are provided by the System under operators request. These reports support the user for decision-making on air traffic flow smoothing within either a determined airspace, or flight plan route or departure/origin aerodrome, in order to make the best use of the airspace. Transit Flights passing through the working area (FIR). Transition Level Altitude at which, or below, the vertical position of an aircraft is controlled by altitudes reference.

Transponder L-band radar receiver/transmitter carried aboard certain aircraft. It transmits a beacon code and Mode C altitude (if so equipped), in response to an interrogation from Secondary Surveillance Radar. The data provided by a transponder can be in any of the following forms: Mode 3/A, Mode 2, or Mode C. Variable System Parameter (VSP) It is a system parameter, which can be modified on line. Working Position Terminals group specially built which are included in a single cabinet structure. Workstation It is the computer and application software. Workstations are grouped together in various combinations to form a working position.
