ACS ADD
(Airport Data Distributor)
Within the Apron Control System, ADD is used to acquire and exchange the main information between ATC systems and Airport Management systems.
From APP flight data (ATC system) and parking bay assignment information (Airport Management Systems), ADD defines the aircraft time of arrival to parking bay.
From Ramp Agent information (Status of the handling activities), ADD informs ATC Ground Controller when the aircraft is “ready” to move.
