Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
An individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance, wherein: (a) an air-traffic control system divides the approach control area automatically into a group of micro air spaces; (b) the air-traffic control system establishes flight rules within said micro air spaces in order to guide aircraft by establishing no-fly air space; (c) the air-traffic control system, at such time as a change has occurred in weather conditions or other data within the approach control area, establishes in real time in said micro air spaces flight rules, estimated time of landing of the aircraft, estimated time when the aircraft will leave the approach control area and other data in such a manner as to reflect those details; (d) the air-traffic control system transmits said flight rules automatically to the system of a given aircraft when the aircraft reaches a position which corresponds to said micro air spaces; and (e) the air-traffic control system guides the aircraft in question in accordance with said flight rules which it has transmitted to the system of the aircraft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
An individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance, wherein: (a) an air-traffic control system divides the approach control area automatically into a group of micro air spaces; (b) the air-traffic control system establishes flight rules within said micro air spaces in order to guide aircraft by establishing no-fly air space; (c) the air-traffic control system, at such time as a change has occurred in weather conditions or other data within the approach control area, establishes in real time in said micro air spaces flight rules, estimated time of landing of the aircraft, estimated time when the aircraft will leave the approach control area and other data in such a manner as to reflect those details; (d) the air-traffic control system transmits said flight rules automatically to the system of a given aircraft when the aircraft reaches a position which corresponds to said micro air spaces; and (e) the air-traffic control system guides the aircraft in question in accordance with said flight rules which it has transmitted to the system of the aircraft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
80 words
The individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance according to claim 1, wherein at such time as within said approach control area a pilot transmits details of an emergency situation or an air-traffic controller notices any abnormality in relation to that aircraft, the flight rules are re-established by inputting the aircraft identification code in such a manner that it is possible to allocate priority to the aircraft in question and to guide it.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
The individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance according to claim 1, wherein it has a GUI whereby at such time as within said approach control area there is a new air space which must not be entered, the air-traffic controller establishes a no-fly area, together with the times at which it becomes and ceases to be a no-fly area, by operating a no-fly area establishment control element and surrounding a given area with a rectangle or other shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
65 words
The individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance according to claim 1, wherein it has a GUI whereby surrounding a given air space with a shape by operating a flight rule reference control element allows the air-traffic controller to refer to the flight rules which have been established in each micro air space which lies within that shape.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
The individual guidance system for aircraft in an approach control area under automatic dependent surveillance according to claim 1, wherein it has a GUI whereby selecting an aircraft within the approach control area on an aircraft position surveillance screen allows the air-traffic controller to refer to the flight rules which have been established in the micro air space which the aircraft in question is entering and in the surrounding micro air spaces.
