ATC- Ørnskøldsvik blir styrt fra Sundsvall

Leesburg Executive Airport To Test Saab Remote Tower
Saab, the public-private Virginia SATSLab and Leesburg (Va.) Executive Airport are partnering to demonstrate and evaluate Saab’s remote tower technologies for use at non-tower airports. The trial will take place at the currently non-tower Leesburg field next summer, with the Virginia Department of Aviation acting as an advisory partner. For the demonstration, the partnership will deploy a number of Saab technologies at the Washington, D.C.-area airport–including high-definition video cameras, pan-tilt-zoom camera, signal light gun and microphones–that will provide data directly to a remote tower center (RTC) also located at the airport. The RTC will have multiple high-definition displays and two controller stations with controls for voice communications, cameras and the signal light gun. Data will be collected from both the RTC and a mobile ATC tower for safety redundancy and data comparison. Both will be staffed by FAA-certified air traffic controllers, the project partners said. During the demonstration, “Pilots will receive non-radar tower services from a trained FAA-certified controller, ensuring safe and efficient operations.” Saab’s remote tower system will soon be commissioned at Ornskoldsvik Airport in Sweden and controlled from the Sundsvall remote tower center. The company is also deploying its remote system in Norway and Australia.
