TATS has met challenges in Air Navigation System equipment from today's systems through the newest ICAO CNS/ATM concepts. Roles have included determining requirements, specifying, purchasing, installing and maintaining and TATS can do the same for you.

TATS personnel have been responsible for the specification, procurement, installation and test of air navigation systems that include ILS (Localizer, GP and Markers), NDB, VOR/DME, VHF radio, voice recorder, PABX and PAPI systems.

An important part of the implementation of a new navigation aid is setting up an efficient maintenance program that will ensure that the new equipment continues to operate safely for many years. TATS personnel can work with your maintenance managers to put a maintenance program in place and to be sure that the maintenance staff are fully trained.

In recent years and in response to massive development of renewable energy sources, TATS has worked closely with wind farm developers. Obviously, a 'forest' of wind turbines, each over 180m in height, will have a significant impact on aviation operations in the area. In planning and proposal stages, the impacts of the turbines on ATC radars, air navigation aids, air routes, aerodrome approaches, weather radars and many other aviation assets must be fully assessed and design modifications made as required. It is a considerable cost saving to do this assessment early and not have to re-do it later to obtain necessary Transport Canada, DND and NavCanada approvals.
