  1. SP/7 (Revised) FPL2012 Message Conversion and Migration AIDA-FPL FPL 2012 Flight Plan Conversion

  2. DOC 4444 – Amendment 1 – A global Issue • The new ICAO flight plan format is introduced world-wide • It will be distributed on international level • ANSPs in all ICAO Regions are involved • Due Date: November 15, 2012According to ICAO State Letter AN 13/2.1-08/50, each ANSP is obliged to receive flight plans according to ICAO amendment 1 to DOC 4444 15th Edition • Migration Phase April 2012 - November 2012During this phase the coexistence of the present and the new format is tolerated

  3. The present and the new Format • Meaning of items/coding within the new flight plan has significantly changed • Items 7, 8, 10,13,15,16, 18 and 22 are concerned • Items 10 and 18 (and therefore 22) have experienced the most considerable changes • Present and new format are incompatible • During Migration Phase: • Conversion “New  Present” is required

  4. Conversion - New to Present Format • Conversion may not lead to a loss of data • ICAO has published guidelines for the conversion, which can be used by states (ICAO state letter AN 13/2.1-09/9) • Regions have developed regional guidance material: • EUR RegionEUROCONTROL has provided specific guidelines (CFMU v1.43) • ASIA/PACIFIC Region • APANPIRG FPL&AM/TF hasdeveloped regional guidancematerial (Guidance Material v3)

  5. The Standard - ICAO Migration Phase (< November 15th 2012)

  6. Potential Situation after November 15th 2012

  7. COMSOFT – Support of the Bidirectional Conversion e.g. Asia/Pac. Specs. • COMSOFT supports the conversion in both directions • Conversion Present to NEW is based on the information in field 18 COMSOFT

  8. Special Case of the Conversion: Date of Flight (DOF) • New Format allows to file flight plans 5 days in advance • Present Format allows to file flight plans 24 hrs in advance • Some existing Flight Data Processing System implementations do not understand the „Date of Flight“ (DOF) feature • Risk of misinterpretation of the flight date • The converter has to delay Flight Plans with DOF set for those end systems that are not capable of the DOF feature.

  9. Special Case of the Conversion: Date of Flight (DOF) • New Format allows to file flight plans 5 days in advance • Present Format allows to file flight plans 24 hrs in advance • Some existing Flight Data Processing System implementations do not understand the „Date of Flight“ (DOF) feature • Risk of misinterpretation of the flight date • The converter has to delay Flight Plans with DOF set for those end systems that are not capable of the DOF feature.

  10. DOF Handling – On Hold Queue

  11. AIDA-NG FPL Conversion – Inconvertible Messages

  12. AIDA-NG Converter – Extended Conversion

  13. Management Framework • The AIDA-NG FPL Converter includes the outstanding features of COMSOFT’s Flagship Message Handling System AIDA-NG • Fully redundant system with shortest switchover times between operational and standby server (< 5 seconds) • Ultimate connectivity by LAN and WAN-based circuits (Async, TG, X.25, TCP/IP, FDE-ICD, FTMP, AIDC, OLDI, AFTN, AMHS ) • Online configuration of all parameters • Flexible AFTN routing features allowing to integrate the system in any environment • Additional routing features for diverting or copying messages • High sophisticated event and alarm handling for all system elements (Hardware components, Circuits, Queues, conversion algorithm, etc.) • High sophisticated message queue management • Universal retrieval of incoming/outgoing messages using multiple filter criteria and direct tracing of the conversion • Configurable statistics

  14. COMSOFT AIDA-FPL – The Universal Converter AIDA-FPL Flight Plan Converter • Mature solution applying elaborate algorithms for conversion and error handling mechanisms • Based on COMSOFT‘s extremely reliable aeronautical message handling technology • Support of regional implementations (CFMU V1.4.1, Asia/Pacific V3) • Conversion New to Present • Conversion Present to New • Support of DOF Buffering • Extended conversion functions (AIDC, OLDI, ADEXP) • Extensive testing and proof of concept with real-life test data Now !! It is available

  15. References • AIDA-FPL Contracted/Converter Systems in the Field • United Arab Emirates • Egypt • Georgia • Trinidad/Tobago • Australia • Bosnia/Herzegowina • Morocco • Saudi Arabia • Singapore • Switzerland • France • Qatar

  16. AIDA-FPL Deployment Options • AIDA-FPL is an integral part of COMSOFT’s AIDA-NG AFTN/AMHS System (for AIDA-NG-Customers) • AIDA-FPL inherits AIDA-NG‘s unrivalled maturity and connectivity options. • Alternatively, AIDA-FPL can be deployed as standalone front-end processing converter for one or several end systems. • AIDA-FPL can be deployed as a fully redundant or single solution

  17. AIDA-NG Customers – SW Upgrade incl. FPL Conversion

  18. AIDA-FPL as Stand-Alone System – Intermediary System

  19. AIDA-FPL as Stand-Alone System – Minimized Impact
