LVNL is implementing Mode-S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) to make the ATM system even safer and more efficient. This technique consists of an aircraft transponder which is suitable for transmitting Mode-S data, and the radar on the ground that is suitable for receiving Mode-S data. AIC-A 01/05 of 2007 regulates which data from the aircraft must […]

The KDC study Increased Schiphol Sustainability focused on the identification of near term solutions to maintain airport capacity under adverse weather conditions. The study was performed as a sequel to two earlier studies which also touched on the same subject but with a different focus: the studies Increased Groundhandling Capacity and Increased Landing Capacity (KDC, […]

The Schiphol operation is very sensitive to the local wind field. Due to climate change, extreme weather events are expected to occur more often in the future, which can make the airport operation even more vulnerable to wind. Information on wind direction, speed and gusts is therefore of great importance. The project Improved Wind Forecasting […]

The SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) has a program in place, in cooperation with the FAA to reduce emissions: AIRE: Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions. As part of this program ATC the Netherlands (LVNL) will perform a trial at Schiphol Airport to improve the night time operations.
Read MoreSafety on the airport surface is of great importance to the Schiphol operation. In order to keep safety at a high level for now and in the future when traffic numbers have grown, it is necessary to improve the ATM system with respect to the ground operation.
