Job Description of the Aerodrome Control Service Manager. How it works

17.07.2020

Professions are trained only in seven educational institutions.

On October 20, 1961, the International Federation of Aviation Dispatcher Associations was founded in Amsterdam (Netherlands). The date is considered a day of institution. International Day Aviavatcher is a professional holiday, which is celebrated on the anniversary of the organization's creation.

Russians are increasingly preferred by airplanes with other types of transport: it is rightfully considered the fastest and most convenient way of movement. However, the majority is known about people who ensure flight safety, give rise to take off, allow the landing and coordinate movement aircraft in the air. Who are such air traffickers, which specialty exist in this profession and how to become the Aviation Distribution "360" told the Deputy General Director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise (FSUE) "State Corporation for the Organization of Air Traffic in Russian Federation"Sergey Pogrebnov.

- Who is such a carrier?

Aviadpetcher - conductor, managing the heavenly orchestra of roaring aviation turbines. Aviadpetcher is an artist drawing his paintings on the blue sky with condensation traces of aircraft. Aviadpetcher - Lotsman, pointing to aircraft safe way to the harbor. But if you adhere to the letter of aircraft is a specialist who controls air traffic from the ground. Its main function is to ensure the safe, orderly and regular movement of aircraft within the responsibility zone established for it.

The air traffic controller informs the crews of aircraft (Sun) on the setting on the flight route and at the airfields, provides meteorological information, supports radio-communications with pilots in accordance with the rules and phraseology of radio exchange. For example, communication with aircraft of foreign airlines is carried out exclusively in English. Also, the air traffic is introduced into automated air traffic control systems the necessary data for the assessment of the air situation. His motto is "I see, I hear, manage."

It is the air traffic controller that takes measures to maintain security in the emergence of a complex situation in the air and special cases of flight by providing safe ranges of longitudinal, vertical and lateral echelonation. Other air traffic functions are the hide of the route, control the movement of the aircraft with a small residue of fuel, creating safe intervals between the aircraft. It also monitors the work of radio equipment and communications, if necessary, aircraft for spare airfields, if necessary, assists the crews when aircraft getting in dangerous meteo conditions - thunderstorms, cyclones. In addition, air traffic controllers coordinate the organization of search and rescue work, in which aviation is involved. As the famous saying says, "God created air traffickers in order to have their heroes who had also had their heroes."

Most Russian air traffic controllers are employees of the National Air Navigation Service Provider - FSUE "State Corporation on the Organization of Air Traffic in the Russian Federation". However, some airports and airfields have their own air navigation services working within the framework of the unified air traffic organization in our country (EU ATM), but not included in the structure of the State Corporation. Coordinates and plans to work all air traffic controllers, the division of the General Directorate of the State Corporation on the ATM Chief Center EU ATM. The structure of the enterprise is seventeen branches located throughout the country. Between sixteen of them on this moment Airspace of Russia (with the exception of zones of the above-mentioned airports / airfields having their air navigation services).

For providing aeronautical services by enterprise with users airspace Charge is charged. That is why air traffic controllers are sometimes called "air traffickers."

- What are the air traffickers?

There are several specialties in the profession of air traffic. The airfield dispatch manager is a daily flight plan, coordinates its implementation with other services, with its colleagues from other airports. Delivery Departure Service Manager issues a flight permission to the route declared in the above plan, pushing out the information sent by the airfield dispatching manager in advance.

The ruling dispatcher controls the movement of aircraft and airfield services through the airfield. It is he who allows the launch of the aircraft engines, manages the movement along the taxiways and gives the command to rely on the pre-start before the runway (runway). The starting and landing dispatchers are guided on the runway with tuting and landing aircraft, give the team to take the executive start and start taking off, allow the landing.

The circle dispatcher issues permits to join the landing attachment arriving and guidelines for the initial set of height of the departing. The approach dispatcher determines the order of landing, is engaged in the construction of the necessary interval of echelonation during landing and takeoff. The above dispatchers, as a rule, work directly at the airport to the CDT.

The district center dispatcher controls the movement of the aircraft within the boundaries established for it in the horizontal plane both by airways passing through its responsibility zone and outside these trails. Its workplace is in the center of flight control (PC).

There are also dispatchers of the locally air lines, local dispatching item, computer dispatchers. They follow flights and provide flights of flight information away from large aircraft and intensive traffic routes.

- What is the organizational vertical of air traffic controllers?

Trainee; dispatcher of the first, second, third classes; Senior dispatcher, instructor dispatcher; Flight Manager; The head of the enterprise, its divisions, airport airport / airport airport service.

Thirdly, the dispatcher must have a mathematical warehouse of the mind, be able to quickly and well consider, keep in memory many numbers and other information. Figuratively speaking, the work of the air traffic is similar to the game of chess in conditions of permanent pressure and periodic zeietic. This work is very complex and extremely responsible. However, it is often paid very good.

Can you simultaneously track up to 20 moving objects?
Do you have the ability to see and evaluate the interaction of objects in three-dimensional space?
Will you be able to accept one single right decision in 25 seconds and have time to give the team to emergency services?
Do you have knowledge of aviation English no less fourth level ICAO?
Are you not susceptible to stress and external noise and light impacts?
Do you have impeccable health?
Do you have a quick reaction?
Do you know how to work in a team?

If at least one of these questions you answer "no" - this profession is not for you. In the Moscow Center for Automated Air Traffic Management (MC AUWD), people who not only meet all the requirements listed above, but also have separate, unique professional skills, without control which today no aircraft will rise to the sky ...

So what calls people in this complex and responsible profession, the price of an error in which is extremely high? Is there any romance in this aviation specialty, love for the sky, to aviation, or everything solves quite high, according to today's standards, the amount of wages and prestige?

Let us try to figure out, and we will help us in this deputy director of the MC Awand Alexander Povaliy. Alexander Pavlovich worked in the center for over 40 years ...

And still began in 1981 ... Then Moscow air traffic accidents began to learn the newly for that time the Terkas system (Tercas). Swedish equipment installed in the newly rebuilt technological building of the MC AUWD. This system is still used, simultaneously with two backup modern monitors. In a separate simulator class, a similar main equipment is installed on which the dispatchers themselves and highways are trained ...

In the workplace, quite cozy even today, in spite of the past years and commissioning new systems and equipment. The warm light of a large round screen, black matte panels of the trim - everything is configured to ensure that the dispatcher is completely immersed in the space controlled by them, without being distracted by external noise and stimuli. It is believed that the experienced dispatcher in the head already sees the picture that will be displayed on the monitor only in a few minutes. All his teams are mentally prepared in advance and are waiting only for issuing. But this is in the usual, calm atmosphere. And if suddenly an abnormal situation on board or the weather begins to present surprises - the load increases at times ... Therefore, the time staying behind the monitor (screen) is rigidly limited and after a couple of hours the dispatcher is inferior to his place to a colleague, and himself goes to the recreation room for 20 minutes ...

Structurally, the Center is divided into two large components: Adz - Aerodrome Dispatch Center and RDC - District Dispatch Center. The ADC manages air traffic in the airfield areas and the approach zones (space of a radius of 100 km from Moscow). Adts has 9 sectors (4 directions) that have and geographical borders, and high-altitude division. The lower approach sector is from 1800 to 3,600 meters, above the upper approach sector. Each sector has its radio frequency (VHF range). In areas of airfields, board are transferred under the control of the "Circle" dispatcher. His area of \u200b\u200bresponsibility is almost immediately after the separation of the aircraft from the ground, and when entering the landing - to the fourth reversal ...

RDC manages air traffic on air tracks (23 sectors, 530 dispatchers). There are usually no sharp maneuvering on the echelons, so everything is calmer and the size of the sectors is respectively more than in the adts. Sectors are divided only by geographical principle without high-rise division. Border the Sector of the RDC with the same sectors of other Country Countries of the country and neighboring states: Peter, Rostov, Samara, Ukraine and others. Each dispatcher has tolerance in its sector, which it regularly confirms. To work in another sector, it is necessary for separate internships and training with subsequent certification and receipt of the appropriate tolerance (for each additional sector there is an extra charge to the salary)

In 2007, communications with the transition to the new ATC system, it was decided to build a new air traffic control center. The equipment of the center and the software was entrusted to the air defense concern "Almaz-Antey" ...

The new body turned out to be beautiful and spacious. The eye glands a pleasant combination of colors and finishing elements. Many glass and heavenly blue ...

The air traffic controller controls the aircraft throughout the entire period of the flight - ranging from the start of the engines and corrupting the parking lot and ending the arrival of the vessel on the parking lot after the pilot made a landing. Its main function is to ensure the safe, orderly and regular movement of aircraft within the responsibility zone established for it. Given the specifics and distribution of controlled zones and objects, and the work algorithm was created in the new traffic control center. The location of the workplaces of air traffic controllers corresponds to the geographic directions of approaches. Additional sectors are responsible for outputs beyond zones. The backup sectors are also equipped with identical equipment that will be required after switching to new airspace. Separately equipped places for senior dispatchers and operator dispatchers and flight manager. All are assembled in a single room, but spatially separated from each other ...

The head of the RDC (district dispatch center) Konstantin Vitalyevich Oleinik told in detail not only the common tasks and structure of the new center, but also about the specific equipment of the workplace of the air traffic station. First of all, this is certainly large modern monitors with anti-reflective coating, which is issued information about the movement of aircraft, meteorological situation and many additional parameters necessary to obtain a complete picture of the air situation in the control zone. Additional monitors are responsible for basic and backup radio communications and with a side in the air, and with ground services and dispatchers of adjacent zones. Another additional monitor is assigned to the auxiliary information ...

Now the system operates in test mode without radio engineering, but with a real setting on control zones. Testing is conducted by the dispatchers themselves, which alternately during their duty they will change to shift in new Centr. Engineering composition parallel to debug equipment ...

One of the important factors to ensure convenience in the workplace is its ergonomics. For example, chairs, in addition to the basic requirements for them in maximum convenience and comfort, should be strong enough, with a metal basis, which is able to withstand permanent many hours ...

In the hall there are always equally smooth soft lighting at any time of the day and optimal climatic conditions Regardless of the time of year. The commissioning of the new automated system is already planned this year, so the dispatchers need to have time to get used to their new work places. It is the air traffic controller that takes measures to maintain security in the emergence of a complex situation in the air and special cases of flight by providing safe ranges of longitudinal, vertical and lateral echelonation. For external tranquility, huge internally voltage and responsibility, which are the higher, the harder the situation of the sky - in such a blatant, huge and at the same time so close .... On these "invisible people," all those who are currently in the cabins are at the same time behind the steering lines or sidelines of their ships. They trust and believe that in any situation they will be helped and prompt, will make everything possible in order to safely return to Earth ...

Well, if the soul requires to see airplanes not in the form of symbols on the monitors, but really, with your own eyes, hear the sound of their engines is a rapid board and a soft landing? And there is a solution. But for this we will have to move here, on the dispatching tower of the airfield ...

Tower, and more correctly the Vnukovo Center for Air Motion Service (VTS ATS), is a branch of MC AUVD ...

Head of the Mot Motion Service Ov Oleg Viktorovich Fedoseev began his story about KDP Vnukovo with a simulator to simulate a real airfield situation. It is used to teach the dispatcher from the workplace from which he will have to work in the future. The equipment installed here is similar to the one that is on the tower. There is an opportunity to imitate any situations such as weather and technological, to work out a clear and well-coordinated algorithm for the action of the air passcher ...

Professional skills of dispatchers on the tower are very different from their colleagues in the center of Awde. The picture here is more likely two-dimensional, however, attention requires increased. At the same time, dozens of units of equipment, aircraft serving personnel move along the field. In the sky, "hanging" the incoming and torn boarding board, goes on the flights, follow the permanent requests for the launch of the engines ...

At the same time in the head, the dispatcher (does not matter the peer, the taxiing or start) have to hold a huge amount of information - analyze and predict the development of the situation, know all the designations of the flight and trunk tracks, the rooms of the parking lots, the meteorological system, the clutch coefficient, the repair area and all sorts of restrictions and prohibitions . Being ready and instantly react to any abnormal situation on the field - whether it is the departure of the aircraft beyond the runway, or a sudden appearance on the Fox field from the neighboring transfer ...

Control over the movement of everything that can move on the platform is carried out simultaneously on monitors and visually - the terminal building is well visible from 40 meters altitude ...

More recently, at the airport, the next stage of a comprehensive system of monitoring the position of aircraft and special equipment on the CrossPoint Perrone with the use of the GLONASS satellite navigation system was introduced. During the next stage of implementation, the equipment of all the opposite techniques of the airport was completed - more than 800 units. The base function of the CrossPoint system is to display the actual position of the aircraft located both in the parking lots and in the direction of taxiing on the airfield, as well as special equipment on the platform with the preservation of historical information about all movements in a few months ...

Well, when the weather allows you to see the side of the side visually, but it happens that the point of landing has to wait only by the report of the crew, wait and hopes that the pilot will cope, and therefore, for his part, the dispatcher did everything right and accurately did everything that It covered it. At such moments, the nerves are tense to the limit, and the sense of responsibility is most aggravated ...

From the tower overlooks the entire field. Those sectors who for any reason fall into the "dead zones" are equipped with special additional video surveillance cameras. The dispatcher must see and monitor each meter of the airfield. Additional radar tracked the coordinates of the sacrament and taking up aircraft until the transmission of their circle dispatchers ...

Sports in MC AUWD is given special place. There is a football and hockey team. Sections in volleyball, arm wrestling, tennis and others ...

In the corridor between the corps, there are photos on the "wall of history" - the chronicle of front-line, labor and sports feats of employees of the Center. There is something to remember and what to be proud of new generations. For the most part, people come to work in the center consciously and for a long time, as a rule, while health and age allows, therefore, the frames are practically no frame. Despite all the difficulties and difficulties, the colocious nervous burden and constant need to increase personal skills and qualifications, the profession of the air traffic police becomes the main and beloved for him for life ...

So what is the air traffic controller? What makes young people deliberately choose this particular way to aviation, because the competition for training in the specialty of the erox is always quite high ...
Complicated? - Yes very!
Responsible? - probably even too!
Heavy? - And how! The profession of the air traffic stationer occupies one of the first places on psycho-emotional load on the human body. But the feeling of what from you, your team depends on exactly how the aircraft fly, at what height, with what course and speed. Understanding what you are, and no one else helps them see and interact with each other, sharing it inurely the sky, feel free, easily and most importantly safely, as if in a huge ocean. This is not the same romance profession, then, for what a person and goes to all these severity and tests ... Everyone who is in any way is associated with aviation, there is a "its" sky. At air traffic controllers, it is like a long way of life ...

On the day that happens once every 4 years - February 29 - we managed to get to the most important strategic object, where security is made an order of magnitude more serious than at the airport: there is no such inspection at the entrance to the USA!

Meet the Moscow Center for Automated Air Motion Management. It is here that dispatchers are sitting, controlling all aircraft over the most active in terms of movement of the European territory of Russia. In the West, the area of \u200b\u200bresponsibility of the center is limited to Ukraine and Belarus, in the north - territories of St. Petersburg and Vologda dispatcher, and in the south and east - Rostov and Kazan. 58-59% of all Russian traffic - it is here: hypercentralization in our country is observed in all sectors, and despite the tendencies towards Moscow, he continues to grow.

At the same time, Moscow airports are prevented from each other. For example, the same, next to which the dispatch center is located, could serve 10 times more passengers (talking about the terminals themselves), but here it is difficult to implement the circle of Moscow and the effective way of using airspace (and the bands are intersecting, that is, work can only one). The opening (Zhukovsky) will change little: there will be very little traffic and mostly this airfield is used for experimental aviation, plus it is possible to enter there only on one side - on the other (Course 123), again, Moscow and the airport - in the air will be " intersections. " Ostafyevo is too close: in general, the farther airport from Moscow, the better, but the development of airports or Tver has yet remained in the plans.

Terkas - development of the 1970s, began to be operated in 1981.

The dispatch center is open in 1981. In the USSR, then there were no modern equipment and therefore, as it usually happens, called Varyagov - in the sense, we bought the "Terkas" system from the Swedish company Stansaab (later she began to be called Datasaab, and then was bought by Ericsson). A whole story was connected with this purchase: a part of the system components was American production, and the Swedes could not receive export licenses (restrictions on the export of dual-use products against Russia operate in the United States so far). And then the Swedes dismissed these components and sent them to Moscow smuggling through Soviet diplomats. Later, it was burst, and in 1984 already Ericsson agreed to pay a fine of more than $ 3 million for violation of export patents.

Now the warm lamp "terkas" is used to train dispatchers, and in the very center the new equipment is launched by the Russian production developed by the St. Petersburg Institute of VNIIR. While debugging and mastering occurs, the start of work is scheduled for April.
