About this exercise

The trial aimed to assess an initial prototype for the provision of ATS remotely from Malmö ATC centre to a single aerodrome at Ängelholm airport, located at approximately 100 kilometres away. The trial also investigated to understand the operational service levels that were possible using different technical enablers and configurations .

Results

• The concept was considered feasible by all participants and was considered to provide a level of service equal to when the ATS are provided from a local tower;
• Human performance and safety were not negatively impacted;
• The exercise provided insight into the potential levels of service, and essential and optional configurations based on technical enablers.
