NSPL had previously relied on ground-based infrastructure for its surveillance capabilities. However, because of Papua New Guinea’s extremely mountainous and difficult terrains, unpredictable and inclement weather and fairly large oceanic airspace, it was a challenge to provide efficient surveillance services for the region using ground-based technology.
With minimal integration requirements. Space-based ADS-B is clearing the way for a new generation of technology across the world. It's very exciting to see it being rolled out successfully. We spoke about the technology a few weeks ago, you might want to check out our interview with the team at Aieron on how they manage the safety of their space-based ADS-B service - we discuss this at technical, processes and certification levels and more
the Upper airspace above 25,000 feet over North Eastern Region got integrated with Kolkata Communications, Navigation, Surveillance & Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) facility and will be controlled from Kolkata ATC Centre. This will facilitate the provision of seamless Air Traffic Management (ATM) services resulting in reduction of the cockpit work load. Also, it will help in the reduction of operational cost (fuel) and thereby less carbon emission through assignment of economic flight level & direct routing.
It's great to know that this harmonisation is going to benefit the airlines, environment and economy at large by curtailing flight time and fuel consumption resulting reduced carbon Footprint.
