DESCRIPTION:
Vincent P. Galotti, International Civil Aviation Organization, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
This book describes the global vision for the Future Air Navigation System (FANS) and is the first text of its kind dedicated solely to Communications Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management and the CNS/ATM systems concept. In addition to the technical issues associated with CNS/ATM, the book also examines institutional, economic, labour and Human Factors issues. It is designed as a text usable in the classroom environment in universities and aviation technical schools.. Even though the concept is well described and implementation is beginning, only technical manuals are available to advance the systems concept. In view of the increase in air traffic, there has been a great deal of work by the nations of the world, under the auspices of ICAO, toward developing the concept for a future air navigation infrastructure to serve worldwide civil aviation efficiency
'I fully believe that this work will help to bring this crucial information, which describes the profound changes along with the expected benefits, to a wide cross section of the civil aviation community.' from the foreword by Philippe Rochat, Secretary General, ICAO 'Vince Galotti has given us a comprehensive, easy to understand, road-map that helps bridge the gap in our ability to visualize the impact of moving from the 60 year old terrain-based ATC system to the CNS/ATM environment of the 21st centuryIt is clear and concise.' from the foreword by Marvin L.

Author Vincint P. Galotti, Jr. by nature of his position as director of the ATM section of ICAO, is an authoritative source regarding FANS. The author provides clear understanding of Air Traffic Management and the history of previous technologies while educating the reader of . Robert I. Hedges said I Hope That You Like Acronyms. I have read this book as part of a graduate level class on Air Traffic Control. The book is very expensive, and in my view not really worth the money.I have four fundamental issues with the book: numerous grammatical errors abound, and are actually distracting sometimes; the author is obviously very knowledgeable, yet is extremely repetitiousit is an easy read simply because the author says th
