Aerodrome Traffic Monitor (ATM)
Stansted is fitted with an ATM and this can be simulated on IVAO. It has a range of about 15nm and displays SSR labels with mode C read out. The ATM may be used to:
- Determine the landing order, spacing and distance from touchdown information of arriving aircraft
- Identify departing aircraft and validate the SSR codes.
- Monitor the progress of over flying aircraft
- Establishing separation between departing aircraft
- Pass traffic information
- Establish separation in the event of a missed approach
- assist in taking corrective action when separation between arriving aircraft becomes less than the prescribed minima.
