Scope and main activities

FLYSAFE



Airborne Integrated Systems for Safety Improvement,Flight Hazard Protection and All Weather Operations


The challenge of Safety

Air traffic will triple in the next 20 years

Ambition of ACARE Vision 2020 is that increased traffic will not lead to an increase in the number of accidents, meaning …

… the performance of safety-related systems and procedures must at least triple in the next 20 years

This improvement must be achieved with : All-weather operation Operation at airports 24 hours per day 99 % of flights departing within 15 min of schedule


The FLYSAFE initiative

Several EU programmes deal with the challenge of maintaining the high level of Air traffic Safety

FLYSAFE addresses this issue from an integrated operational perspective:"How to provide the crews and controllers with the right information / signals at the right time to prevent / further reduce risks of accidents in all circumstances"

First target: transport aircraft

Application to business jets and

helicopters also studied


FLYSAFE approach

Review of past accidents, analysis and definition of means (that would allow) to prevent them with careful consideration of human factors issues

Analysis in three branches for the different hazard information management• Weather, with specific studies in atmospheric hazards• Traffic• Terrain

For each of them development of new systems and functions, notably:

improved situation awareness, advance warning, alert prioritisation, enhanced human-machine interface


Definition and validation of a new generation integrated solution (NG-ISS)

Support design and development with standardisation and certification activities

FLYSAFE WIMSs

FLYSAFE develops ground-based Weather Information Management Systems (WIMS)

They will provide accurate forecasts of specific atmospheric hazards to be uplinked to the cockpit and copied to Air traffic Management (ATM)

Information on hazards currently available will also be uplinked to the cockpit (including volcanic ash)


FLYSAFE WIMSs

Clear-Air-Turbulence Wake vortices

Aircraft icing Thunderstorms

The 4 categories of atmospheric hazards addressed by the WIMSs :


FLYSAFE WIMSs

WIMSs will provide flight-specific,

route relevant information on three scales

Global scale, with particular emphasison field of view

Continental scale

TMA scale

Low resolution data and relatively infrequent updates

Mid resolution data and fairly frequent updates

High resolution data with frequent updates


FLYSAFE NG-ISS

New on-board systems and functions improved situation awareness advanced warning alert prioritisation enhanced human-machine interfaces

New sensors and sensor fusion technique

Improved on-board weather hazard detection and data fusion with new ground-based, specific weather hazard information products, uplinked to the aircraft

All on-board means integrated in a consistent system, with innovative HMI

And their integration into a global ATM environment


FLYSAFE System OverviewNG ISS

FLYSAFE develops a mock-up of an onboard Next Generation Integrated Surveillance System (NG ISS): It will provide the air crew with a combined vision of the current situation and

the strategically projected situation within the next minutes

Surveillance Functions addressing

Weather hazards Traffic hazards Terrain hazards Resolution of conflicts

Dangerous situations in the near future will be identified and possible solutions will be shown to the pilot.


FLYSAFE System Overview NG ISS

Major benefits compared to current ISS: Detection of future threats – up to 30 minutes ahead Provision of advice, how to avoid the threats Enhanced visualisation of the surrounding

weather, traffic and terrain situation

Primary Objectives: Process alerts from safety net systems TAWS & TCAS Avoid encountering adverse weather situations Prioritisation of alerts

Secondary Objectives: No false / nuisance alerts

Detects the possible weather / traffic / terrain threats along the flight plan,

Resolves conflicts by proposing a new Flight plan.

Most developments are evaluated in PTEs (Part-Task Evaluations)

All the functions will be integrated : first into a common platform

assembled in THALES Toulouse

then tested on the NLR simulator in Amsterdam, which will allow simulation of the complete aircraft environment:

aircraft behaviour, atmospheric conditions, other traffic in the air and

on the ground, terrain, obstacles and a realistic ATC

environment,

with a high degree of accuracy
