Radar Data Viewer

Radar tracks in a flight procedure design environment

The analysis and verification of the safety parameters during approach and departures in terminal areas is a major issue. IDS's Radar Data Viewer allows loading of the radar track and their superimposition over the planned procedure. Collision analysis and separation limits verification allow the user to optimise airspace and flight procedures design. It is also a very effective tool as part of a noise evaluation process.

Radar Data Viewer is an FPDAM add-on module which reads selected off-line radar tracks and draws them on FPDAM procedure charts.

By importing radar data into the system database, the Radar Data Viewer allows queuing the data and displaying tracks or plots over existing geographic scenarios. Real flight paths can be easily compared with planned procedures.

The main functions of Radar Data Viewer are:

• Managing common radar track records and fields
• Import data filters for customised data formats
• Storing track information into the database for selective queries
• Displaying tracks or plots over existing geo-referenced graphics

Collision Analysis

Two tracks can be selected from the database to perform a "collision risk analysis". Radar Data Viewer performs a real or fast-time play-back computing the minimum distance point between aircrafts and outputting:
