Avman, Standard Departure
It is aready a feature of the Mode S transponder to initate a downlink message that contains the RA. The new Mode S radars that are starting to be installed in Europe will be able to extract this information. However, due to the radar update rate the delay will be between 0.25s and 10s.
Before this information can be presented to the controller the radar data format to the ATCC will need to be upgraded as will the display system. The move by Eurocontrol to impliment Mode S Enhanced Surveillance should make this happen.
