Systems Interface
provides consultancy services to a range of defence and civil
organisations worldwide. Services include the design and
preparation of instrument approach procedures, studies for the
definition of equipment, its specification, design, complimented
where necessary by sophisticated computer modeling techniques for
surveying and selecting sites for navigational aids, including the
prediction of ILS sensitive areas. A whole package of tools to
assist the aerodrome licensee in aerodrome safeguarding are now
available from Systems Interface and our partners that were only previously available from the
CAA.
Safety
Cases
New
or modified systems, equipment and proposed changes to your
published procedures will require a Safety Case to be submitted to
the CAA SRG. We, in partnership with Data Systems & Solutions
(a Rolls-Royce & SAIC joint venture company), offer a
comprehensive service for the production of Safety Cases. These
can include the analysis necessary to satisfy new CAA requirements
for software (CAP670 SW01) and would ensure continued alignment
with evolving European safety requirements. Data Systems &
Solutions are maintaining a dialogue with the CAA and attending
the necessary meetings to ensure that legacy and new technology
systems are approved with the minimum impact to airport expansion
or improvement programmes.
Systems Interface
has completed the production of several Safety Cases &
Transition Plans for various Airports in the
UK
. Including:
Radar Displays and Air
Traffic Monitor for
Bristol
Filton
Airport
Radar Display System for
Scatsta
Airport
AR15 Radar for
Hawarden
Airport
Upgrade of the
VCR
and
Radar Facilities for
Belfast
City
Airport
Several Non-Directional
Beacon Systems (
NDB
)
Several Distance Measuring
Equipment Systems (

)
Instrument Landing Systems
(ILS)
Airspace
Design
We
are able to offer services relating to the development of new or
existing SIDs, STARs and RNP-RNAV procedures on either a local or
national basis. These can be designed either from existing routes
or from new as a result of the removal of an en-route navigational
aid.
Instrument
Flight Procedure Design
To
compliment our navaid siting service and to enable you to quickly
start using a new navigational aid, we are able to design the
complete range of Instrument Flight Procedures using the very
latest computerised techniques to either the PansOps or TERPS
criteria. This includes ILS Precision Approaches to Cat I, II and
III, Non-Precision Instrument Approaches (NDB, DME, VOR, SRA and
GPS). Existing procedures can also be easily assessed and verified
in cases where the dominant obstacle may have changed or been
removed often improving the decent minima and decision height.
(see Aerodrome Obstruction Surveys below).
Aerodrome
Safeguarding
These
include Safeguarding Maps for issue to Local Planning Authorities,
Handbooks and Guidelines for both the Local Planning Authorities
and the Aerodrome Licensee on how best to administer the
Safeguarding processes and software support in the form of PC
based or Internet based programs to carry out the surface analysis
on the airspace surrounding the aerodrome.
WGS-84
Implementation Surveys
In
accordance with the ICAO recommendation, that the World Geodetic
System be adopted by aviation worldwide as the primary system for
air navigation. International geodetic connections to the
necessary primary networks can be carried out to bring a highly
accurate source of WGS-84 aerodrome to aerodrome thus meeting the
requirements of ICAO. With over 60 successful WGS-84
Implementation Surveys completed in 6 different Countries, this
Partner's track record is well proven. All works undertaken fully
comply with the ICAO/Eurocontrol quality assurance requirements.
Aerodrome
Obstruction Surveys
Aerodrome
Obstruction surveys are undertaken in order to ensure that the
protected surfaces which surround an aerodrome (as defined in ICAO
Annex 14 and CAP168) are kept free from obstacles and those
which are unavoidable, are known about by both the aerodrome
licensee and the operators using that aerodrome. Obstacles which
penetrate, should be clearly marked, usually with an obstacle
light, and its position usually in the AIP entry for that
aerodrome.
In
addition to the Annex 14 surfaces, aerodrome obstructions can be
specific to a flight procedure, an ILS Approach for example, or
for the production of a specific chart, ICAO Performance Aircraft
- Type A Chart which is used in the calculation of regulated
Take-Off weights. The UK CAA publish a document (CAP 232) which
lays down all the survey Requirements that an Aerodrome
should undertake as a condition of its License to operate. All
obstruction survey work undertaken fully meets the requirements of
the UK's CAP 232.
The accurate information surveyed during the WGS-84 implementation
survey at an aerodrome is combined with the positional information
on the aerodrome obstructions and handed over to the Instrument
Flight Procedure designers. With this information the IFP
designers can create a 3 dimensional model of the aerodrome and
its surrounding airspace and then use the model to design flight
procedures into and out of the aerodrome.
