Until now, the flight crew have communicated with the air traffic controllers using High Frequency (HF) and Very High Frequency (VH
F) radio communications. These communications are subjected to atmospheric disturbances and difficult to understand.
Furthermore, the transmission networks become saturated due to the increase in air traffic and to the limited capability to exchange c
omplex data (routes, weather information, etc.).
Consequently, the Air Traffic and Information Management System (ATIMS) was developed to enable datalink communications and exc
hange of complex data or specific reports between the aircraft and the ground centers:
Controller-pilot datalink communications (HF voice in backup) for air traffic management
-
Automatic reporting (position, intention) for air traffic surveillance
-
Specific airline-aircraft communications (operational control) to improve the airline operational costs and flexibility.
