Remote monitoring and supervision of airdromes and heliports: meteorological information

Abstract

In this project, we will focus in the meteorological information to be provided by automatic systems to the users of small airdromes and heliports, which are monitored and supervised from a remote control center. We will take into account the regulations and requirements issued from each aeronautical authority in order to accomplish its rules and regulations and assuring the quality and the accuracy of the data provided. This work will be applied to the Cerdanya Aerodrome, located in the municipality of Das, and to the Tirvia's heliport, located in this little town in the Pallars Sobirà. The first is a small aerodrome open to the general aviation, and the second is a heliport owned by the Catalan government devoted to emergency services, with no official information published. The meteorological data obtained from the meteorological stations, similar to the installed by the Catalan meteorological agency -Meteocat-, placed in each aerodrome and heliport, will be processed and coded according to the aeronautical standard systems, and then send to the aerodrome and heliport users.
