MA-AFAS Programme
MA-AFAS “More Autonomous Aircraft in the Future ATM System”
20 European partners (led by BAE Systems)28 M€ 3 year programme
funded by the European Commission under Framework 5
Key Action 4 New Perspectives in Aeronautics
Duration March 2000 – July 2003
Objective To transform European CNS/ATM research resultsinto practical operational ATM procedures
with thepotential to radically improve the European
ATMscenario in the near term

Increased Situation Awareness- Airport Map Display- Ground CDTI
Use of Digital Datalink instead of Voice- CPDLC for Ground Operations- Display of Taxi Route and Taxi Clearances
Use of Airport Map Databases according to ED-99
Surveillance and Warning- Runway Alert- Runway Incursion
Taxi Management Solutions

Map Display Featuring:
- Runways & Taxiways- Parking Positions & Gates- Intersections & Stopbars- Buildings & Aprons- Traffic Objects- Own Aircraft symbol- Designators for Traffic & Airport Objects
Presentation:- Clear, Comprehensible- Three Display Modes- Several Display Ranges- Text line for CPDLC messages
Creation of airport maps via Map Creation Tool:- EGDM, LIRA, EDVE, EDDF

Surveillance Functions Advisory on
- Runway Alert : When entering the area in front of a Runway (= holding box) ==> two different warning messages according to clearance of runway- Runway Incursion : Ownship is situated on runway and another aircraft or ground vehicle enters the same runway => several warning levels and messages according to distance, speed and heading of traffic objects
Independent Operation :- No Ground Systems needed

Ground CDTI
ADS-B and / or TIS-B
Situation Awareness only
Several manual and automatic decluttering options
Three different symbols for- aircraft with Heading Information- aircraft without heading information- ground vehicles
Aircraft with heading information are displayed with a label containing information about: ID, ground speed, altitude

Display of Taxi Route ATC composes Taxi Messages
by selecting airport segments (taxiways, etc.) on Taxi Tool screen
Taxi Messages :- Clearances- Taxi Route Instructions- Message is displayed textually- Taxi Route is calculated by analysing CPDLC message
Taxi Route :- Cleared and uncleared part- Display of stopbar in front of uncleared runway
Definition of set of taxi relatedCPDLC messages

MA-AFAS Taxi Management - Results
Pilots comments- Easy use of the system- Implementation of a history function regarding CPDLC messages (pilot need for review of the sent/received messages)- Taxi map display needs to be reviewed (e.g.colors, map details)- Incoming messages on the MCDU/Nav Display; an audio indication would be advantageous
Operational procedures- Pilot in command was taxiing,- Co-pilot was observing the display and managing data link communication
Situation awareness benefits and pilot workload- not assessed (simple airport layout, good weather conditions during the taxi trials)

MA-AFAS Taxi Management - Conclusions
Achievements
Taxi Management- map display, own aircraft position and traffic information on the Nav Display- uplink of taxi routes- typical CPDLC messages during ground operations were sent and received- Runway alert, runway incursion
