Mongolian airspace to improve
The use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast to reduce the separation between aircraft in non-radar airspace will bring huge benefits.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, ADS-B, a system in which an electronic equipment on board an airplane broadcasts the precise location of the aircraft via a digital data link, is alleviating Mongolian air traffic ahead of the delivery of the new traffic control center. The new traffic control center which is commissioned in 2020, will make a significant difference to the safety and efficiency of flights. In the meantime, however, the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast to reduce the separation between aircraft in non-radar airspace will bring huge benefits. About 97% of aircraft flying through Mongolian airspace are already equipped with the appropriate equipment. By 2021, Mongolia requires all aircraft operating in its upper airspace to have the ADS-B equipment. “The implementation of ADS-B within the non-radar airspace for providing reduced Air Traffic Service surveillance control separation between aircraft is a very significant development and welcomed by the airline industry,” said Honghai Yang, International Air Transport Association’s Regional Director for Safety and Flight Operations, North Asia. “Given the massive growth of air traffic in the region, the changes will enhance the airspace capacity to accommodate more flights, while maintaining safe aircraft operations. We look forward to continuing to support and work with the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia to implement other инишативз to increase the safety and efficiency of the airspace,” added Honghai Yang. The amount of air traffic using Mongolian airspace has been growing steadily. In 2017, the number of overflights increased by around eleven percent compared with 2016.
