Description
Summary:The thrust of the Aviation Review Committee program, which OASIS broadly supported, was to analyze the present ATC systems; examine future system requirements; identify areas where the present systems might be improved; and develop and analyze potential system improvement options. The time frame of this study is the period 1979 to 2005. This report describes the present air traffic services (ATS) system in the NAT region. This system provides ATC, flight information, and alerting services to aircraft in oceanic control areas (CTAs)/flight information regions (FIRs). The report addresses the operations, technical components, and costs of the following ATS units: Gander Area Control (ACC); Shanwick Oceanic Area Control Center (OACC); New York ACC; Santa Maria ACC; Reykjavik ACC; San Juan ACC, and Miami ACC.
