Types of Aerodrome ground equipment

In accordance with Art. 88 of the Act dated. 3-07-2002 - Aviation Law (Dz. U. 2012 pos. 933) there are the following aerodrome ground equipment (LUN):

• Communications equipment (radio communication) - COM
• Radar equipment (surveillance) - SUR
• Radio navigation equipment (radio navigation aids) - NAV
• Visual aids to navigation - VAN (supervision exercised by the Department of Airports)
• Automatic measurement of meteorological parameters systems - MET
• Devices and systems for processing and visualization of data - DP.

Aerodrome ground equipment can be used for the operation of air navigation security, if it has been entered in the Register of aerodrome ground equipment (RLUN) - Managing the device received the decision of the President of the Civil Aviation Authority of entry to RLUN. For the writing the LUN to the Registry aviation fees are charged according to the - Aviation Law Act, Section of Air fees, Table 1, Part III, Section 3.13. No action 34 (Other charges)

Communications equipment (COM)

Communications equipment provide:
• mobile analog and digital communications between aircraft and stations installed on the ground, aircraft or offshore platform, using radio waves used for the aeronautical mobile service
• constant communication providing voice and data between specified fixed air stations, interconnected telecommunications lines, designed for air traffic management,


Mobile equipment analog and digital radio voice and data links operate in the VHF band (118 ÷ 136.975 MHz) GAT or UHF (225 - 400 MHz) OAT, they protect the air mobile communications for those services (ACC, APP, TWR, FIS, OAT) , AFIS, air operators, actors uncontrolled airports and aerodromes.

Wired voice communications equipment (communications ground - ground) are operating on analog telephone lines and digital terminals of users, at most controlled airports between ATC and ATM operational connectivity is provided through the VCS (Voice Communication System).

Transmission equipment and the exchange of flight data include air traffic control, airports controlled terminals installed at the user terminals in the aviation institutions.

Radar / surveillance Devices (SUR)

Surveillance equipment to provide information on the position, identity and status of the aircraft.
Among the surveillance equipment we have:

• primary surveillance radar PSR (Primary Surveillance Radar)
• secondary surveillance radar MSSR (Monoimpulse Secondary Surveillance Radar)
• ground traffic control radars SMR (Surface Movement Radar),
• automatic dependent surveillance systems ADS (Automatic Dependent Surveillance)
• Wide Area Multilateration systems WAM or local LAM (Local Area Multilateration).

Radio navigation aids (NAV)

Radio navigation equipment shall provide aircraft with information about their location.
Among the radio navigation we can list:
• non-directional beacons NDB,
• VHF omnidirectional beacons VOR and DVOR,
• Distance measuring equipment DME
• the ILS LOC beacons,
• GP ILS glide path beacons

Processing systems and imaging data (DP)

Based on the data from the primary radar, secondary radar and other safety systems functioning of air traffic services, these systems process the information received about the situation in the air in order to allow imaging in different places on different types of indicators.
