Conditions for an airport operator to make use of an advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS) for the provision of apron management service Sascha Hissler

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (WIT Wildau Institute of Technology), course: Aviation Management, language: English, comment: Bewertung: Die eingereichte Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der sehr komplexen Thematik der europäischen Luftfahrtgesetzgebung und der sich daraus ergebenden Verpflichtungen für die Teilnehmer am Luftverkehr. Es wurden die zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt verfügbaren Unterlagen geprüft und bewertet, um daraus eine Handlungsempfehlung zu entwickeln um ein technisches System auch für den Einsatz genehmigt zu bekommen. Die Arbeit lässt berufliche Erfahrung und eine vertiefte Fachkenntnis erkennen, die weit über das innerhalb des Masterkurs vermittelte Wissen hinaus geht. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Arbeit. , abstract: With the amendment of the European Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 by the new Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 (into force since 14 December 2009), the area of competency of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is progressively extended towards a "total system approach" including ATM, ANS as well as airport safety and interoperability. This new regulation allows airport operators to continue with providing apron management service - but they have to "declare their capability" for offering this service within the certification process of the aerodrome. An advanced surface movement guidance and control system is one important tool for providing this service at large and complex airports. With the implementation of an advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS), the airport contributes to the precise surface guidance of aircraft to and from a runway while maintaining safe distance to each other as well as to obstacles and vehicles. The system is aimed to assist the ground controllers in managing the traffic situation on the movement area in all weather conditions. Due to advanced surveillance technology, the ground movemen
