Upgrade contract in Dubai
In 2006 Copperchase was awarded a contract by the Government of Dubai on behalf of the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) to supply an upgrade to their Copperchase DATALINK Automatic Terminal Information Service (D-ATIS). The upgrade provides the delivery of separate arrival and departure ATIS messages over VHF and Datalink ACARS.In April of 2007, the Copperchase D-ATIS at Dubai International Airport was converted to handle Arrival and Departure ATIS messages.
The Copperchase D-ATIS has been upgraded to decode Aerodrome Warnings and METREP data from the Vaisala MET Observation System.
The Copperchase ATIS is a fully automatic aeronautical information broadcast system for use at airports for approaching and departing aircraft. Runway serviceability, local airport procedures/services and meteorological information received from external communications networks, or generated locally are converted to digitised speech for manual/automatic transmission. The D-ATIS makes this information available to aircraft via the Aircraft Communications And Reporting System (ACARS).
