Successful Final Acceptance of the AviBit A-SMGCS and Electronic Flight Strip System at Bucharest International Airport

AviBit has completed delivery and commissioning of the A-SMGCS (AviBit ACEMAX) and Electronic Flight Strip System (AviBit DIFLIS) at Henri Coanda International Airport – Bucharest. AviBit and ROMATSA – the Air Navigation Service Provider of Romania – have completed the project with a 3 weeks robustness test on 04 March 2014.

The delivered system, will not only increase the capacity on the movement area of the airport especially during low visibility conditions, it will also increase the efficiency of taxi operations while enhancing safety.

“The project was very challenging for the AviBit team since it included integrated A-SMGCS and EStrips while interfacing with numerous external systems. Two SMRs and a Multilateration System as well as two SMR towers and shelters have been part of our delivery”, says Tobias Karns, Project Manager at AviBit.

This project allowed AviBit once more to prove its capabilities as an ATC-Tower System Integrator. Beside the MLAT system and the SMRs, surveillance data from the Terminal Approach Radar (TAR) is incorporated in the system. Furthermore Air Field Lighting System, Instrument Landing System (ILS), Air Traffic Management System, AFTN and ATIS are incorporated in the AviBit product suite as well.

The delivery of an Enhanced Safety Net through the integration of A-SMGCS and EStrips will further increase safety on the movement area and enhances the situational awareness to the controller significantly. The implementation of Digital Departure Clearance (DCL) eliminates misunderstandings between pilots and air traffic controllers and reduces congestions on the ATC frequencies.
