Madrid was scene for the Congress and Exhibition Global AIS 2006, where up to date concepts about aeronautical technologies applied to AIS data were on show.

Radiocom, Inc. participated in all conferences and meetings.

An extract from a post Congress message by Mr. Ken Reid who is Chairman AIS Team, Head of AEM, EUROCONTROL follows:

 

"...from the substantial feedback that we have received, it appears that the Congress achieved its objectives and it was a great success. The messages were clearly expressed due to the excellence of the Speakers and the Moderators.

As for statistics: 525 people were registered coming from 85 States. A truly global event and one that speaks about the commitment that is the hallmark of the AIS community. Moreover given the substantial costs associated with travel for many, it shows that Management now recognizes the critical nature of aeronautical information and the need for change.

Global AIS Congress was a successful and enjoyable event; by all accounts it provided an excellent platform for networking, one of the main objectives of the event.

What now? There will be little point in bringing the AIS community together unless progress is made. Yes, of course the Congress is a start but what tangible steps are planned?

The first step is that the “Conclusions and Recommendations” as modified from the Congress floor and agreed by all are available on EUROCONTROL web site. Likewise all the presentations can be downloaded from: www.eurocontrol.int/aim

 

Secondly and as reported in Madrid, the Planning group will reconvene in late August to develop, agree and then publish the Congress Report.

 

The Conclusions and recommendations will be those posted on the web site as also the discursive material that explains why/how these recommendations came about. Once developed, it is intended that the report will be submitted to ICAO, Montreal and will be made publicly available on www.eurocontrol.int/aim for information and use.

Thirdly, Eurocontrol main conference room, called Europa, has been reserved on 28-29th November 2006 for the “AIM Workshop”. It is intended to base the Workshop on the six appropriate enabling objectives. A white paper on each will be developed to form the basis of discussion and each will be developed by a Sub-group of the whole. To make the process manageable and to make progress it is intended to limit participation to 60 from Europe and invite 30 representatives from non-European States.

Fourthly, the “Mini Congress”. Eurocontrol has reserved the 220 seat Europa Room for provisionally 26-28th June 2007, the week after the Paris Air Show.

Lastly, a decision has been taken to devote the Autumn edition of the Eurocontrol House Journal “Skyway” to AIS/AIM.

In conclusion, AIS through the Global AIS Congress had a successful start to implementing change, but now the real work starts. Europe looks forward to working with global colleagues and to share experiences; for the experience of Madrid has shown that when the AIS community comes together things happen."
