Duncan Aviation recently released a series of videos explaining Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS). This four-par series briefs pilots and aircraft owners on the evolution of FANS, how FANS operates, certification and upcoming mandates. This resource is provided by Duncan Aviation in addition to the company’s ebook, Straight Talk About FANS 1/A, which was released in 2011.
The “FANS” video series is hosted by Justin Vena, an avionics installations rep with Duncan Aviation. In the video, he offers information and advice regarding FANS operations, answering some of the most common questions that operators ask him.
Vena’s passion for understanding the world’s NextGen initiatives has led to his extensive research on the subject. The FANS video series explains Controller Pilot Data Link (CPDLC), Automatic Dependent Surveillance Contract (ADS-C) and how they operate. Vena gives details about what happens with initial set-up and operation, including air traffic controller hand-offs, and explains the components included in a typical FANS system. The video series provides information in regards to FANS mandates in Europe and the North Atlantic tracks.
