AIS meeting, 10:30 15/11/2002, Heathrow.
This is only a *very* brief overview of our meeting today.
Mike, Rod, Andrew and I need to "agree" the position on this, then we'll give a much more detailed analysis. Expect this by Monday latest.
Timescales we will address in the fuller analysis, as well as details of attendees today.
However, a synopsis follows...
We asked for three basic deliverables from AIS as you'll recall:
1. Fix what's there
2. Daily printable download, sorted sensibly for "notice boards" and the like
3. Daily, raw-data (incl. Q-Line) snapshot for use in NotamPlot/Pro/another type programs
So, where are we now?
Realistically, we believe we have positive results in relation to 1 and 2 above.
(1)
We agreed that since the update of 6/11 the site seems to be more stable and faster.
We expect, as an output of the last three months, that AIS will instruct Thales to urgently address the outstanding issues with the website as it is today.
We agreed that the "Narrow Route Brief" was working to all intents, but was useful only for "point A to point B" pilots/flights.
We also agreed that all the other "briefings" were not very useful, and AIS/Thales need to urgently address this.
We expect to hear more good news about this before we post again...
(2)
This is a fundamental requirement, badly missed since the demise of the "A" series bulletins.
There is a requirement for this to be made available, and for the output to be sorted by increasing LAT. (as before).
This requirement is now formalised and we expect delivery of this "one-click download" by January 2003 latest.
This will enable gliding organisations to once more plan their tasks, schools to organise their exercises, hirers to organise their routes, "bimblers" to plan their jollies and anyone else to read and find the NOTAMS relevant to their proposed flights very quickly.
The reason it's a one-click solution is so that WHEREVER you get an FIR briefing it is in the same format. Safe. Sensible.
Four downloads available: one aerodromes and one Nav Warnings (en-route) for both EGTT and EGPX (London/Scotland)
We think this is an excellent result.
(3)
Item 3, for some the most important, is the "sticky" one.
NATS have some concerns regarding liability which the CAA have undertaken to begin addressing on Monday next (18/11/02)
If we hear back in time, we'll include the CAA feedback in our detailed analysis on Monday.
Well I said it would be brief, but now it's turned into an AIS-length briefing ;)
We appreciate all the feedback we have received through the Telecall website. We will leave that site running until ALL the issues are resolved, including the protracted discussions about raw data, and if you want to add-to or ask anything please use the "mail-to" links on the site.
More soon,
Russell, Mike, Rod, Andrew.
