The Electronic Flight Strips (EFS) System is an advanced solution designed by ANSART to modernise and enhance the efficiency of Air Traffic Control (ATC) operations. It replaces traditional paper strips with a fully digital, interactive platform, facilitating real-time data sharing, improved accuracy, and streamlined workflows.
The EFS come with a range of features designed to enhance the functionality, efficiency, and safety of air traffic management.
Here are some of the key features:
- Real-Time Data Updates: Continuous, real-time updates of flight information ensure that air traffic controllers have the most current data available.
- Interactive Display: Touchscreen interfaces and interactive displays allow controllers to quickly access, update, and manipulate flight information.
- Customisable Layouts: The layout of the EFS display can be customised to suit personal preferences and operational needs, improving usability and efficiency.
- Automated Flight Data Entry: Automation of flight data entry reduces the need for manual input, minimising errors and saving time.
- Integration with Other Systems: Seamless integration with radar systems, weather data, and other air traffic management tools provides a comprehensive view of the airspace.
- Conflict Detection and Alerts: Built-in conflict detection algorithms alert controllers to potential conflicts between aircraft, enhancing safety.
- Flight Plan Management: Advanced features for managing flight plans, including automatic updates.
- Collaboration Tools: Tools for sharing information and coordinating between different air traffic control sectors and centres, enhancing collaboration and communication.
- Archiving and Data Retrieval: Capabilities for archiving flight data and retrieving historical data for analysis and review.
- Enhanced Visualisation: Advanced visualisation helps controllers better understand and manage the airspace.
- User Authentication and Security: Secure login and user authentication features ensure that only authorised personnel can access the system.
- Configurable Alerts and Notifications: Customisable alerts and notifications for various events and conditions, ensuring that controllers are promptly informed of critical situations.
- Redundancy: Robust redundancy features ensure system reliability and continuity in case of technical issues.
- Control and Monitoring: Capabilities for control and monitoring allow supervisors to oversee operations and provide support as needed.
- Flight Progress Monitoring: Continuous flight progress monitoring with automatic updates and status changes.
- Multilingual Support: Support for multiple languages to cater to international air traffic control centers and diverse controller teams.
- User-Friendly Interface: Designed with the user in mind and for optimal efficiency.
These features collectively contribute to the efficiency, safety, and effectiveness of ATM, making Electronic Flight Strips a critical tool for modern Air Traffic Control operations.
