Recommendations 119 Recommendation 1: Draft a preliminary ACC mission statement based on the perceived need and an early indication of the proposed functionality of the ACC. Once it is determined that the airport needs an ACC and there is a basic understanding of what it will be doing, identifying the human resources (i.e., who will make the plan a reality?

120 Guidance for Planning, Design, and Operations of Airport Communications Centers Throughout this guidance, a standard approach to implementing the technology for the ACC is discussed. An ACC should be approached from a technology perspective using common technology acquisition methods.

From page 121... ...
Recommendations 121 Recommendation 12: Develop a Data Management Plan to have a full understanding of the data flowing in and out of the ACC. The amount of data and resulting information flowing into the ACC from different systems poses a challenge to any operation for proper absorption and use in decision-making.

122 Guidance for Planning, Design, and Operations of Airport Communications Centers Recommendation 18: Select project team members who have experience and are committed to delivering a successful project. These team members are likely doing double duty to participate, so focus on staff members who understand how to prioritize their work efforts with only minimal or no management oversight.

Recommendations 123 Stakeholder engagement is essential in developing facilities and systems in airports. Unless airport management and staff are fully engaged, it will be difficult to develop operational requirements, which is the goal of a CONOPS.

128 Guidance for Planning, Design, and Operations of Airport Communications Centers Securing the technology used in the ACC is of critical importance. As the airport becomes more reliant on the ACC, the corresponding systems that provide the ACC with data become more important.
|
From page 129... ...
Recommendations 129 The basic outline for a set of operating procedures will be established during the development of the CONOPS, in which stakeholders consider each ACC function, the information needed for that function, the decision-making process, and the parameters available on which to make decisions and achieve the desired outcome. The ACC SOPs are based on the CONOPS.
