Nats Lamp South Coast Proposal
In 2014 TAG Farnborough Airport consulted on proposed changes to the air traffic routes to and from their airport, and also on changes to and from Southampton and Bournemouth airports with the support of NATS’ London Terminal Control (LTC). TAG Farnborough has subsequently published Part A of the Consultation Feedback Report and is working on their Part B.
PC Route Free Airspace Services
NATS is proposing changes to upper airspace (FL255 and above) in the Scottish UIR and a portion of Irish Airspace where ATS is delegated to Prestwick Centre (Donegal Fillet). The objective of these changes is to remove all ATS routes and establish a portion of the airspace as “Route Free Airspace” (RFA). This will enable aircraft to be able to flight plan and fly direct from point to point.Consultancy
Airspace Design Services
Most airspace needs to be redesigned from time to time, driven by a need for greater capacity or more environmental efficiency. NATS can offer you the experience that comes from working in some of the world’s most complex environments, in virtually every aspect of airspace design.
Capacity Planning Services
NATS can provide statistical analyses and fast-time simulation modelling to determine the capacity at airports anywhere in the world. Our studies take in runways, stands, taxi ways and airspace; in fact anything associated with the air traffic management network. We can also support the capacity declaration process at UK airports.
Engineering
Control Centre Systems
To help manage air traffic safely and efficiently, controllers need workstations that deliver the information they need, without fail. NATS makes sure that what’s on the screen enhances a controller’s efficiency, both operationally and environmentally.
Maintenance Services
Maintenance is an essential aspect of any system. NATS can help you make sure that you have every angle covered to provide the highest safety standards and operational performance. From planned maintenance to in-service performance monitoring, we have the engineering expertise to carry it out precisely and efficiently.
