Requirement for PSR

Primary Surveillance Radar

• PSR is normally associated with a Terminal Service

• PSR is currently located at 22 sites across Canada

• Commencing Aeronautical Study to review requirement for PSR at 5 locations:– Prince George– Regina– Sault Ste Marie– North Bay– Gander

• Study will consider application of new technology

2

• Hudson Bay – Operational in 2009– Over 600 aircraft now certified

• Oceanic – Six sites on Northeast Coast (End Oct

2010)– Four sites in Greenland (Early 2011)

• Hibernia/Sable Island/Yukon– Under assessment

ADS-B Surveillance

3

North Warning SystemADS-B Integration

• Eastern portion of Canadian North– Labrador coast and

southern Baffin Island– Brevort, Saglek, Cartwright

• Implemented at end of October 2010

• Immediate benefits in Gander Domestic and Oceanic airspace

• Provides surveillance redundancy

ADS-B and RADAR

5

• Fort St John – now commissioned• Vancouver Harbour planned for 1st

QTR 2011– ATC application

• Montreal (PETIA)– Airport surface surveillance installed

• Other potential sites:– Kelowna/Penticton, Timmins, Sioux

Lookout, Fredericton, Calgary Springbank, Vancouver Lower Mainland, Wabush, Abitibi West, Mont Tremblant

Multilateration (MLAT)

6

• Purchased controlling interest in Searidge Technologies

• Extensive testing of Searidge video technology underway

• Runway 4/22 – YOW• Use of video to enhance

airport surveillance, subject to stringent ANS requirements

Canadian Automated Air Traffic System (CAATS)

• Automated flight data processing• CAATS now connects seven Area Control Centres:

– Substantial efficiencies: flight data transferred electronically as planes cross the country.

• Edmonton FIR Northern Airspace sectors the last to make the transition to CAATS – November

9

• New CAATS features under development for near term (one-three years):

• Controller Pilot Data Link • Automated Data

Communication with external agencies (e.g. FAA, Iceland, etc.)

• Display of Airspace to Protect (ATP)

• Medium-Term Conflict Detection (MTCD)

Canadian Automated Air Traffic System (CAATS)

10

Integrated Tower Automation Suite (INTAS)• Integrated controller working position with up to four touch-screen

monitors• Includes NAV CANADA technology:

– Electronic Flight Data Strips– Operational Information Display System

• monitors and controls airfield ground lighting, • monitors navigational aids, and weather data;

– Digital-Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS)– Terminal surveillance displays

11

CFPS• Collaborative Flight

Planning System (CFPS)• Improvement to existing

capability (2004)– Better customer service – Two way flow of flight plan

information – file, change, delay, cancel)

– Simplified registration process

– Increased FIC efficiency– Integration with FIMS and

CAATS– Centralization of data and

services• Phased Implementation

– VFR Flight Plans (Feb 2011)– IFR Flight Plans (TBA)

International RecognitionIATA - Best Air Navigation Service

Provider 2010• Recognizes customer satisfaction, cost

efficiency, continuous improvement• Requires positive record in safety, social

operational and environmental issues • Recognizes effective customer consultation;

transparency in sharing information; reasonable service charges; productivity improvements.

JANE’S 2010 Environment Award • ATC Global Award for Hudson Bay ADS-B

deployment • ”Green” Air Traffic Management concepts for

reducing the impact of aviatin on the environment

• Estimated $195M in fuel and 547K metric tons of GHG emissions from 2009-16.

• Shared by NAV CANADA and SENSIS

13

Summary• Continued compression on cost control• Expansion of Surveillance coverage and development of

new technology• Improvements to the Navigation System• Upgrades to aviation weather and flight planning

– AWOS, Weather Cameras, Centralized Flight Planning Service• Progressive deployment of new capabilities to improve

Air Traffic Management– GAATS+, CAATS, INTAS, EXCDS, SASS,
