UR 422 MILITARY and TMA Sectorisation 1/7 Volume condition

IPAS offers the capability to define under which condition a volume is used for a given sector.

The following condition criteria may be associated to a volume: ADEP: The volume is dedicated to the flights that the departure

airport is the ADEP. ADES: The volume is dedicated to the flights that the arrival airport

is the ADES. Runways: The volume is dedicated to the flights with the arrival or

departure runway is in the list of runway.

Operator ‘NOT’ The ADEP and ADES condition may be combined with the NOT

operator: NOT ADEP means the volume is dedicated for all fights that the

departure airport is not the ADEP NOT ADES means the volume is dedicated for all fights that the

arrival airport is not the ADES It is be possible to associate a ‘Not’ condition to the ‘Runways’

attribute.

Volume condition rules: IPAS data-input checks that a condition name is unique. IPAS data-input checks that a condition is using either

ADEP, ADES, or RUNWAYS. IPAS data-input checks that a condition definition is unique. IPAS Check verifies that the runway kind used to define a

condition is consistent with the associated runway : if a an arrival condition is using a runway on which no STAR is

defined, a warning shall be issued : ” Warning : No STAR is defined for runway <RUNWAY_ID> on arrival condition <CONDITION_NAME>”

if a a departure condition is using a runway on which no SID defined, a warning shall be issued: ” Warning : No SID is defined for runway <RUNWAY_ID> on departure condition <CONDITION_NAME>”

Military sectors IPAS data-input allows the user to define military

sectors with volumes already used in civil sector definition

IPAS data-input does not allow the user to define military sectors with volumes used by another military sector.

IPAS checks that volumes used in military sectors are used in at least one civil sector.



Sector definition IPAS data-input allows the user to associate one condition name to a

volume used to define a sector.

UR 422 MILITARY and TMA Sectorisation 6/7 IPAS data-input checks: That a combination volume/condition is used only once through

the different volumes composing sectors. That no condition is used for military sector definition. That a volume using a condition is used in another sector with a

complementary condition, For example a volume using the condition NOT ADEP LFPG is also used in another

sector with the condition ADEP LFPG. a volume using the condition ADES LFPT is also be used in another

sector with the condition NOT ADES LFPT. a volume using the condition ‘Departure runway LFPG 26R LFPG 21R’

is also used in another sector with a different runway condition , e.g. ‘Departure runway LFPT 17R’

That a volume using an ADEP or ADES condition is not used in another sector without condition (as the ADEP/ADES conditions are complementary, this volume would never be used)

UR 422 MILITARY and TMA Sectorisation 7/7Sector civil TMA1 contains volumes V1, V2, V3 (without condition) and V4 with condition (Not ADES

X)Sector civil TMA2 contains volumes V5, V6, V8 (without condition) and V7 with condition (Not ADES

X)Sector military M1 contains the volumes V3, V4, V6 and V7. (without condition) Sector CTR contains the volumes V4 and V7 with condition (ADES X)

UR 352 MASS Launching improvements 1/3

The installation of MASS on the target platforms follows the GRD-CWP model.

The MASS binaries are located in the <Simu>_<user>/Run_Name>/exec/ directory,

The MASS scripts will be located in the <Simu>_<user>/<Run_name>/exec/

The MASS configuration files are located in the <Simu>_<user>/<Run_Name>/config/<config_name> directory,

The ASM_Gateway starts the MASS application in the runtime/<config_name> directory of the Run Deployment.

UR 352 MASS Launching improvements 2/3 MASS configuration files were harmonised and

simplified cpdlc_server_1.data ppd_datalink_server_1.data em_server_1.data file fs_server_1.data asas_server_1.data MASS_system_configuration_file.data

Those files contain both operational and technical parameters

MASS offline tool does not generate anymore the binary files from the IPAS files (*.DATA) except the AIR_FLIGHT_FILE.BIN and the AIR_KPL_HIST.BIN

UR 352 MASS Launching improvements 3/3 The Hardware Configuration file

“CONFIG_FILE.TXT” is not used anymore. The Hardware configuration file was used to provide: The different Virtual Machines

launched and their host machine and the Pilot positions (PWP) and their host machine.

The name of the “display” where the MASS Supervision is displayed

The port numbers These information are given by

CORBA the « air_vm_list » attribute (<VMid>=<CLASS>=<host>).

UR 354 MASS supervision replacement The new MASS supervision is a JAVA tool. Same behaviour than the older. The configuration file « mass_sup_server_1.data “ contains:

log4j.configuration = <Log_file_name> supervision.recording = <false/True>

UR 435 Maps Graphical Attributes Provided by ASP the “MAPS USAGE

UR 437: RedHat EL5 porting

The purpose of this UR is to port the whole ESCAPE platform, including offline tools, to the new major release of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux : 5.3

This port is required to keep up to date the various dependencies of ESCAPE software and insure maintainability. This upgrade also brings the benefits of new features that can be valuable for developments.

UR 449 Publication of Start and End of Turn Points in GRD P4D 1/2

The Trajectory Predictor (TP) computes for each turn two new points: A turn initiating point An end of turn point.

After a “closed heading” Order is sent to FM via CWP, ECHOES reacts on the updated route reception to set the Route Reminder keypoint on the first TIP occurrence preceding an EOT before the resume point (which will correspond to the old end heading point).

UR 452 Offline Access to achievable RTAs In order to facilitate the traffic off-line preparation, and in particular to facilitate the setting of airborne

RTAs, it should be possible to have an access to the possible RTA range that would be achievable by each flight.

The ‘Air RTA data’ panel shall allow the user to perform a sort on each column by clicking on column header an to come back to the initial oder by removing the column sort. The default order shall be the order of the AIR_RTA_FILE.DATA file, which is ETB ordered.

Example: VPBDM; 18:46:10; 18:46:10; 18:44:22: 18:46:44 BER42A; 18:33:00; 18:35:16; 18:35:16: 18:39:01 DLH6MM;18:41:00; 18:40:07; 18:34:19; 18:40:07

In term of IPAS preparation it is important to distinguish the ESCAPE adjacent sectors from the non ESCAPE adjacent sectors because it is possible to transfer an ESCAPE flight toward an external adjacent ESCAPE sector

To summarise, the sectors data are defined as follow by the IPAS preparator

For the sector for which no controller are allocate but with a pilot position allocated, IPAS generates: “operator_type” field with the value “EXTERNAL” ,

Example:

On reception of an incoming transfer MASS: Assigns the flight to the frequency (pilot position) provided in the

checks if the provided frequency is internal or external. If the frequency is external then MASS checks if the transfer is allowed.

The transfer will not be allowed if the flight is in the following states: FMS status is “FMS_OFF”, Orbiting, Holding, Offset, A Direct order out side the route “FMS_OFF”

IPAS generates the “FLIGHT_FILE.DATA” file with the “ADDRESS_OF_SSR_CODE” and “REGISTRATION_NB” fields when filled.


GAIA requires sending and consuming the state vectors to a cycle of 500 thousandths seconds.

MASS and the MASS Gateway publishes the state vectors to a cycle of 500 thousandths seconds.

The “TIME_TICK_FREQUENCY” parameter in the “asm_gateway_server_1.data” file was added. TIME_TICKS_FREQUENCY 5000 // milliseconds


MASS was adapted to fill in the SAP information depending on the DELIVER_SAP_INFORMATION parameter setting:

When the “ESCAPE_OFF” value is set, the SAP information is not published (equivalent of DELIVER_SAP_INFORMATION = FALSE in the current version).

When the “ESCAPE_ON” value is set, the current way to fill the SAP information is kept.

When the “DELIVER_SAP_INFORMATION” parameter is set with the “GAIA” value, MASS provides the SAP information filled with the last over flown waypoint as the

first point.

UR 471 GAIA connection 10/13 Existing Ground Ground Data Communication (GGDC) services is

used to convert “oldi” information into text string format between ESCAPE and external simulators through the GAIA Gateway.

In the GAIA context, the GGDC uses the CORBA protocol to communicate with the external centres
