Oxford Airport
Book A ConsultationCopperchase were recently successful in bidding for the contract to replace the existing obsolete systems used by the Air Traffic Controllers at London’s Oxford Airport. The airport equipment is currently maintained by NATS, formerly National Air Traffic Services.
Working in collaboration with NATS, Copperchase was able to bring the VCCS system right up to date with a bespoke system. The VCCS provided 6 operator positions each with the ability to control all ten of the transmitter / receiver channels operated by the airport. Each operator position also has the facility to intercom call another or initiate a conference call as well as access to the AFTN telephone network.
Working around the airports busy schedule, Copperchase was able to provide a seamless transition between the two systems both on time and within budget.

Enhancing Aviation Safety with Cockpit Voice Recorders And Flight Data Recorders
According to statistics, aviation is safer than ever, with the number of airline accidents in the last three decades falling by half every 10 years. Technological advances have underpinned more robust safety in the industry, with two important devices – Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs) and Flight Data Recorders (FDRs) – driving improvements. Popularly referred to as ‘black boxes’, these instruments work alongside Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems to ensure the safety of aircraft at every stage of their journeys. In this article, we’ll explore five ways that CVRs and FDRs enhance aviation safety.
Unlocking the Future of Aviation: The Importance Of IFP Design Services
As the world’s airspace becomes increasingly congested, accurate flight planning has never been more important. Crowded skies and poor aircraft coordination increase the risk of catastrophic events, so Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) design services play a key role in ensuring that aircraft follow the safest and most efficient routes.
How A Flight Data Monitoring System
Every flight generates a vast amount of data, within which are patterns that can reveal potential safety risks before they become serious problems.
