1) Implementation of ATS Interfacility Data Communication (AIDC) can improve safety by reducing coordination errors between air traffic control units through automated coordination. 2) AIDC allows for more precise coordination based on aircraft trajectories and reduces controller workload by automating notification, coordination, and transfer of control functions. 3) For AIDC to be effective, air navigation service providers must share radar data, use common flight information and procedures, and train personnel on new coordination procedures.

AIDC Safety Benefits
 Coordination errors - reduced
 Coordinated data should be extracted automatically from flight data
processing system
 Coordination should occur automatically

 Controller workload - reduced


 Less reliance on intercom/phone lines
 More time available to complete other tasks

 Efficiency - increased
 Controller can manage increased traffic levels
 Support ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), etc.
Why AIDC improves                    ?
Benefits of Coordination
 Avoid phone communication
 Coordinate with more precise time and levels
based on trajectories calculations
 Dynamic Interaction with the Collateral
 Adjust the coordination rules based on Letters of
Agreement (LoAs)
 Customize different kind of coordination for the
different neighbors
SAFETY
 Coordination makes flying significantly safer for the aviation
community by providing to the Control Centers the needed data to
manage in advance the flights in order to avoid future conflicts
 Real-time interaction with neighbors
 Executive or Planner controllers don’t have to loose time and
attention to the phone calls from/to collaterals
 Strip printing and Flight Plans adjusted based on the coordination
data
For the AIDC implementations the following is needed:
ANSPs have to share radar data information
ANSPs have to feed their control centers with the same
aeronautical information
ANSPs must agree on common operational procedures
ANSPs have to train their personnel with the new procedures
ANSPs must sign LoAs that reflect the new procedures
Monitor the coordination and analyse errors
ANSPs need to have the same Aircraft performance
What does that mean?
Same information
Same procedure
Improve safety
Improvement of 
Situational Awareness
Conclusion
The AIDC implementation in the different ANSPs is
one of the most effective ways to reduce errors in
flight coordination between ANSPs because it
improves the situational awareness and reduces
errors.
Conclusion
ANSPs need the information from the industry of
the Aircraft Performance to update the data
base configuration of the ATS and allow system
calculation, estimate with the real aircraft
performance information.
Recommendation
It is necessary that States/Organizations promote
the implementation of automation protocols
between the Flight Information Regions (FIRs)
since it has been proved that the correct
implementation reduces the error in air traffic
coordination between ANSPs.
Recommendation
RASG-PA to take note on the need of ATS
system to configure with the real Aircraft
Performance Information and find a way to
share the information with the ANSP and
recommend a mechanism to update that
information when needed.
