Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) Manual
Also Known As:
The Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) Manual, titled ICAO 9863:2012, serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding and implementing ACAS. It covers technical, operational, and training aspects of ACAS, providing a wealth of information to flight crews and air traffic controllers.
The primary objective of this manual is to offer guidance on the technical and operational requirements of ACAS, as outlined in Annex 10 of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations. Annex 10 specifically pertains to aeronautical telecommunications and includes provisions for surveillance and collision avoidance systems.
While the manual provides an effective framework for addressing ACAS implementation issues, it acknowledges that administrations may need to modify or employ alternative approaches based on local circumstances or available resources. At its core, the manual serves as a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of ACAS and enabling safe and efficient air traffic management.
