GUIDANCE MATERIAL 2.1 Concept of Operations 2.1.1 Introduction 2.1.1.1 AeroMACS can potentially support the wide variety services of video, and data communications and information exchanges among fixed and mobile users at the airport. 2.1.1.2 The applications and communications provided by AeroMACS can generally be grouped into three major categories: Air Traffic Services (ATS ), Airline Operational Control (AOC) Services and Airport Authority Services (see Figure 1). Within these broad categories, the data communications and applications can be described as either fixed or mobile, based on the mobility of the end user. Figure 1: Examples of AeroMACS Applications 2.1.1.3 The application that a user will be connected to vary depending on the usage. The AAA services within the CSN network will authorize the users’ SS based on certificate established within the AAA. For instance aircraft, which are mobile assets, are expected to have connectivity to both Air Traffic Services group of applications as well as Airline Operational Control group of applications and may have connection to Airport Authority group of applications such as Aircraft de-icing. Airport Sensor systems, which are generally fixed assets, are expected to connect an Airport Authority type of application such as Security Video. Nomadic and non-aircraft Mobile system may have connections to all three of the above cited groups of applications depending on their needs and authorizations. Determination of the type of user SS is critical to providing the correct level of service over AeroMACS. Figure 2 AeroMACS Generic Applications and Communications overview 2.1.2 Services 2.1.2.1 The services that are described in the following scenarios could be handled by AeroMACS. 2.1.2.2 Air Traffic Services 2.1.2.2.1 Air traffic services are provided to regulate air traffic to ensure safe conduct of flight operations. Air traffic services can be grouped under 8 major categories: Data Communication Management Services ( DCM) Clearance/Instruction Services (CIS) Flight Information services (FIS) Advisory Services ( AVS) Flight Position/Intent Preference Services (FPS) Emergency Information Services (EIS) Delegated Separation Services (DSS) Miscellaneous Services (MIS)
