introduction

CADAS-ATS is an advanced and well-proven terminal solution, providing messaging services

and flight planning capabilities for aeronautical offices, airlines and pilots. It allows operating

AFTN and AMHS in parallel by using a single integrated messaging application.

CADAS-ATS eliminates the need of additional AFTN
messaging hardware and the elaborate duplication of
traffic databases (AFTN and AMHS). On a single terminal
application operators can simultaneously run AFTN and
AMHS as well as operationally use both services’ full set
of functionality.
CADAS-ATS is a sophisticated AMHS User Agent
application that combines AFTN messaging services with
the messaging capabilities of X.400/AMHS. The User
Agent reliably supports both the Basic and the Extended
ATS Message Handling Services as defined by the
technical specifications contained in ICAO Doc 9880.

CADAS-ATS features sophisticated flight planning

functionalities, such as the web-based Pilot Portal
which enables visual route planning, filing of flight
plan proposals, and home briefing, or the Active Flight
Database (AFD) which enables the operators to monitor
the status of flights within their responsibility.
