Air Traffic Control sectors and radar screens

Zain Khan made this Official Information request to Airways Corporation of New Zealand Limited

The request was successful.

From: Zain Khan

Dear Airways Corporation of New Zealand Limited,

I would like to request under the Official Information Act, the following information

1. How many air traffic control sectors are managed by Airways, what are their identifier names, callsigns and relevant frequencies utilised by them?

2. What does the radar screens for these sectors look like? I understand the Lockheed Martin Skyline air traffic management system is used for domestic airspace and a CAE Oceanic system is used for oceanic airspace controlled in Auckland.

3. Of the aircraft tracks on radar, what information is displayed on their tags attached to the radar track?

4. What shapes are the aircraft tracks on radar when they come within primary, secondary or ADS-B radar?

5. What symbols are used to display airports, VORs, NDBs and RNAV fixes on the radar screens?

6. What colour is the background on the radar screens and do they differ for each position in control towers or area control centres?

Yours faithfully,

Zain Khan

Dear Mr. Zain Khan,
I'll appreciate your assistance by clarifying to me whether the current operational system is the old Lockheed Martin Skyline or the modern Leidos Skyline-x.

G’day Zeev,

The current operational system Airways use is the Lockheed Martin SkyLine ATM system. There has been no releases from Airways about the commissioning of the Leidos SkyLine-X system. There maybe some delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic but I am not sure when exactly Airways are using the new SkyLine-X system. Maybe within the next 1-2 years or when air traffic recovers more from the global pandemic may we see something from Airways about the release and migration to SkyLine-X.

Regards
Zain.
