The Civil Aeronautics of Colombia announced that it would begin the pilot test phase of the country's first remote control tower at the Cúcuta Airport. Frequentis reference photo.
In the coming days, Civil Aeronautics will launch an ambitious Pilot Project for the Remote Control of Air Traffic through Digital Towers equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. This development will allow the entity to manage aircraft landings and takeoffs at airports with difficult access and logistics; who face an emergency, as it happened in San Andrés and Providencia after the passage of Hurricane IOTA, or have a low number of air operations, in which Air Traffic Control would be optimized (ATC, for its acronym in English).
this pilot, which will initially take place at the Camilo Daza Airport in Cúcuta and will later be taken to uncontrolled airports in the Norte de Santander Regional of Aerocivil, will work thanks to a complex and modern technological system, made up of equipment and high definition cameras, in which they were invested 280 millions of pesos.
This is the result of work carried out by the entity with the aim of implementing new technology for air traffic management, that supports air navigation services in Colombia. All this in accordance with the Regulations established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (OACI) and entities such as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Remote Tower is a real-time display system, that helps the air traffic controller to maintain continuous vigilance with air operations on the maneuvering area of an aerodrome, according to engineers from the Civil Aeronautics, with the support of the SINEA project (National Airspace System).
This is accomplished using a suite of high-definition cameras and minimum-resolution video output. 1080 pixels and 25 frames per second, that allows managing the landing and takeoff of aircraft in conditions of high operational safety in airports that until today do not have the provision of control services, or facing an emergency situation, as happened recently on the island of Providencia after the passage of Hurricane IOTA.

I understand Mr. Nicolás but if I take the test missing 10 days for the trip to Ecuador what happens that here the test is delivered from the 22 days I can request a text message from the health center here in Switzerland verifying that it is negative or by email both things can be valid because here is a lot of the order request sorry I await your response and my three-month-old baby does not need thank you for being a vulnerable person
The test must be presented preferably in physical.
Excellent initiative and management by the Colombian Aeronautical Authority. Without a doubt, the entire aeronautical community of the SAM region will be attentive to the results of this pilot project..
So is, a great example to follow for the region.
