AOP04.1 — Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System A-SMGCS Surveillance Service (former ICAO Level 1)

Implement A-SMGCS Surveillance Service (former ICAO Level 1) which consists of an airport surface surveillance system that provides the Controller with the position and automatic identity of:

- All suitably equipped aircraft on the movement area;
- All suitably equipped vehicles on the maneuvering area.

A-SMGCS Surveillance data may be used to replace visual observation as required, in accordance with ICAO EUR Doc 7030, chapter 6.5.6 (approved March 2009), and as the basis of controller decision making. Traffic will be controlled through the use of appropriate procedures allowing the issuance of information and clearances to traffic on the basis of A-SMGCS Surveillance data.

Apron management units, airlines and other interested parties may also benefit from the provision of A-SMGCS Surveillance data.

A-SMGCS Surveillance is a prerequisite for A-SMGCS Runway Monitoring and Conflict Alerting (RMCA former ICAO Level 2) as the first element of A-SMGCS Airport Safety Support service.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
