1. Airbus Industrie presentation to ATN2000
26/27 September 2000
AIRBUS INDUSTRIE

2. Airbus Industrie perspective
Airbus know how to build ATN, and where the difficulties are
Airbus make available aircraft that can do it on a massive scale (1 aircraft a day)
If we (the industry) want people to use it, we need to give them beneficial ATM services
Today ATN is only a cost
“provide information for DLH to to compare offers”

6. CNS/ATM development strategy
Airbus R&D (methodology, concept, development, tools) validated with FANS A certification
Experimental ATN router already in operation on ATSU : flight and interoperability tests with ATC stations (EOLIA/ProATN)
End-to-end communication and operational tests performed with Air Services Australia, UK & French ATSOs (STNA, CENA, NATS), Airsys ATM, NLR (Dutch Laboratory)
ATN running on ATSU has flown on an aircraft. Test bed for interoperability world wide. Interesting results.
VDL mode 2/ATN being tested

7. CNS Project Integration of ACI/RRI in experimental ATSU in progress
Integrated functions :
Communication : ATN, Satcom, operational services
Navigation : Integration with experimental FMS extended functions : ATC flight plan, integration/monitoring of CPDLC messages
Surveillance : ADS, Enhanced Surveillance (Mode S)
cockpit integration (FCU, RMP, FMS, DCDU) and CPDLC recording
Technical validation of CNS means

8. AFAS Aircraft in the Future Air Traffic Management System
Target : popular A320 family, runs 4/00 to 4/03
Consortium : 17 partners including major AA, ATSOs, industrial, airline stakeholders
Based on results of previous programmes (TORCH, EOLIA, DGPS, etc), develops the operational concepts to close the gap between increasing demand and existing airspace capacity
Integrated CNS solution for ATM evolution (all aspects are considered)
Supporting European evolutions (e.g. Link 2000+, RNAV in TMA, etc.) for air/ground integration

9. Conclusion ATN research instructive, not easy...
...but we know how to make it work.

10. Industrial Development

11. Perspective
Airbus is preparing, at UAL request, a proposal to equip their A319/320 fleet for CPDLC Build 1A
Airbus Industrie objective is to launch SARPs compliant DO-178B level C product (FANS B) in 4Q00
Selected router vendor for experiment is ACI (RRI). Selection for industrial router is separate.
VDL Mode 2/AOA launched : addresses immediate congestion, is a foundation for ATN

15. Benefits of ATSU
Airbus Industrie, providing an SFE solution for datalink, is part of a long term strategy
Involvement of the airframer is acknowledged by airworthiness authorities
Commonality of solution
Aircraft life-long solutions
Airframer validation of systems
Desired level of interaction between systems
Is designed to fit within Airbus family concepts : glass cockpit, dark screen philosophy, cross crew qualification

16. FANS A certification
FANS A validation flight with JAA : February 2000
Interoperability and transfer of centers successfully demonstrated for AFN, ADS and CPDLC with (through both ARINC and SITA) :
Johannesburg, Melbourne, Brisbane, Fiji, Auckland, Tahiti, Oakland, Edmonton
HMI (DCDU) concept successfully validated
HFDL tested successfully over the pole
Airbus has proposed to ICAO to use HFDL and SATCOM voice for ATC operations
Certification on A340 : 12 July 00

17. Lessons learned
Also successful tests with over 15 ATC centers across the world from aircraft simulator in Toulouse (China, Thailand, Canada, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Eurocontrol, Australia, etc.)
Validation of Airbus test tool suite (simulator of ATC station) representative of ATC stations throughout the world
Similar tools are being developed for ATN.
Aircraft simulator fitted with ATSU/DCDU and EOLIA/ProATN performed ATN tests with Air Services Australia

20. FANS B First product on A320 family
will meet requirements for operations such as CPDLC Build 1A and follow on ATM services
Next step : implementation on FANS A A330/340

21. CNS/ATM standardisation activities

22. Standardisation
ICAO Panels produce Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) for datalink (VDL Mode 2, ATN, applications)
SARPs are technical standards
SARPs are global. E.g.:
CPDLC message set defined for all possible operations (oceanic, en-route, arrival/departure, etc.)
Implementors build on ICAO standards but need to: decide options, message sets, add their operational requirements
=>Activities beyond ICAO standards are required

23. Standardisation & regulation
In the USA
FAA tasked RTCA with CPDLC Build I, IA definition
RTCA established Special Committee 194 (ATM Data Link Implementation)
In Europe
Project Managements of PETAL-II and SCALA trial
LINK 2000+
JAA initiated regulatory work on AEEC623 and ATN/Link2000+ with draft TGL (Temporary Guidance Leaflet)

24. Europe / USA joint activities
At standardisation level:
RTCA SC-189/EUROCAE WG-53 defined ATN Baseline 1 (CPDLC Build I, IA, PETAL-II, SCALA trial)
and is defining ATN Baseline 2 (ADLS Build II, LINK 2000+)
At implementors’ level:
FAA (CPDLC Build I, IA),
EUROCONTROL (PETAL-II) and
France (SCALA trial)
coordinate through the PETAL Integration Team (PIT)

25. However... Differences between Europe and USA
schedule
flight phases
functions
Gap between FANS 1/A and ATN
Airframers, ATSOs, safety regulators will have to come up with solutions to accommodate differences
The closer the operations, the safer the aircraft
Expects SARPs will need to be amended in the light of operational implementation

26. Conclusion The airlines and Airbus Industrie have
installed CNS enabler equipment platforms
installed many CNS functions
on a large proportion of the jet airliner fleet ( aircraft, of which over 1300 in the US, adding an aircraft a day)
with ATC benefits becoming visible, the rest will follow fast
Now it is up to the ATC service providers to provide
immediately beneficial services for airlines
with confidence in benefits, scale and schedules
With confidence in the ATC services, we can implement the remaining functions
Thank you for listening. Any questions?
