ATN: Aeronautical Telecommunications Network AFTN: Aeronautical Fix Telecommunications Network AMHS: Air Traffic Service Message Handling System

ATN Overview
- A new telecommunication system standard for aviation. - Performs the communication aspect in CNS/ATM and manages + Ground-to-Ground (between aircraft and air traffic controller) communication + Air-to-Ground (between air traffic controllers) communication - Provides data communication services for aeronautical purpose, e.g. ATS (Air Traffic Services). - Capable of bridging multiple ground systems

ATN Overview

ATN - Concept

ATN is an internetwork architecture that allows ground, air-ground and avionic data sub-networks to
interoperate by adopting common interface services and protocols based on the ISO OSI reference model.

ATN - Applications
Air-to-Ground
CM (Context Management) ADS (Automatic Dependence Surveillance)

ADSB (Automatic Dependence Surveillance Broadcast) CPDLC (Controller Pilot Data Link Communication)
FIS (Flight Information Service)

Ground-to-Ground
AMHS (ATS Message Handling Service) AIDC (ATS Interfacility Data Communication)

AFTN
AFTN : Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network

Use voice transmission When an airplane needs to communicate to the ground during the flight, the pilot contacts the ATC (Air Traffic Controller) via the communication radio (VHF) verbally. If the message needs to be delivered to a remote airport, an operator rewrites the message in a form of NOTAM format and transmits it through the AFTN routers. Problem: Voice Interference and Dialect NOTAM: NOtice To AirMan

AFTN - Message

AFTN messaging is a low-voltage teletype used for communicating air traffic flight plans and other aircraft operational and weather messages such a NOTAMs, TAFs, and METARs

16

AFTN Weaknesses
1. 2.
3. 4.

Not user friendly, using NOTAM format Not secure enough

Low throughput and slow Only support ground to ground communication (G to G communication)

5.

Air to Ground communication uses voice communication (Very High Frequency Radio)

6.

VHF Radio does not cover all regions in FIRs
