Transition Guidelines for A-SMGCS

Abstract

These Transition Guidelines for Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A SMGCS) are intended for use by the stakeholders: airport, ANSP (Air Navigation Service Provider), airline, and industry. The guidelines give an overview of the main STEPS, but not necessarily all steps, for the introduction of and transition to A SMGCS operations at an airport. They address the technical, operational, administrative, training and licensing aspects. The guidelines are no international standard that needs to be obeyed for certification on an A SMGCS, but represents an overview of steps that are considered appropriate by the EMMA consortium. It recognises that alternative means may be available.
