Contingency at Charleroi and Liege airports
As part of our framework contract with skeyes, Helios was asked to conduct a feasibility study for a contingency solution such as remote towers, in the event of a service discontinuity.
Projects
Our consultancy teams work across many critical domains including air traffic management, airports and space
Drone 360-degree study
LFV required a 360-degree study of the developments, issues and challenges in the UAS community including an evaluation of the changing environment.
Airspace Restructuring for Anguilla
Helios provided safety arguments and compiled the exposition needed for Anguilla Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport to publish new GNSS Instrument Approach Procedures.
Independent airspace noise review
Airspace change: our independent review for NAVCANADA, included recommendations that would reduce community noise exposure and deliver wide scale public consultations.
Developing the Back-Up Plan
Effective contingency planning is a fundamental requirement of ANS, even the most reliable systems can fail. Helios conducted a systematic review of Belgocontrol’s current contingency provisions to help them plan for the unexpected.
FABEC route charges study
FABEC required a set of options and recommendations for a new financial framework to support the cross-border optimisation of airspace among the FABEC member states.
Support for Aveillant
Holographic Radar Trial Support - Helios was contracted by Aveillant to conduct an independent review, quantitative analysis and report of the performance of their Holographic Radar at Prestwick.
Strategy support on global datalink deployment
Helios provided a global overview of data link planning and deployment processes at ICAO and regional level for SITA, a communications and IT solution provider to the Air Transport Industry.
Aviation Cyber Security Training
Cyber security is an important hot topic for aviation, and it can be confusing to know what standards and guidance are available and appropriate. Recognising this, EUROCAE has launched a training course (developed and delivered by Helios) to help guide people through this maze.
Air traffic management and cyber security
How should SESAR respond to cyber-security concerns? And how should cyber-security within the SJU’s Research and Innovation activities be strengthened? Helios provided advice and recommendations.
Oslo Terminal Radar Review
Helios advised Avinor Oslo Airport (OSL) on their future options for a new terminal radar. Focusing on the role of surveillance Helios provided a full report of recommendations for OSL's needs and requirements.
SESAR to adapt sat-based technologies for general aviation operations
A new SESAR project called GAINS – General Aviation Improved Navigation and Surveillance, coordinated by Helios, aims to demonstrate how concepts enabled by Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and EGNOS for scheduled airlines can be adapted for use by the general aviation community.
Solar glare and flight safety
Solar glare is a new and complex phenomenon affecting aviation. With a proposal submitted to build a Solar Plant within 9 nautical miles of a runway in Italy, Helios provided a quantitative risk assessment for the likely impacts of solar glare to aviation.
Borealis Free Route Airspace (FRA) implementation
Following the launch of the Borealis Free Route Airspace implementation, the Borealis Alliance commissioned Helios to value the expected benefits to airspace users
Feasibility of Remote Tower Technology at Dublin Airport
With increasing growth at Dublin Airport, the Irish Aviation Authority commissioned Helios to assess the options for a new control tower.
Assessing the benefits of satcom to airlines
Over a 15 year period, Helios valued the benefits that satellite communications has brought to the industry.
Conformity Assessment - Strengthening Avinor’s Capability
Before any new system is put into service an ANSP must carry out a Conformity Assessment to comply with interoperability regulation. Helios helped Avinor to undertake the assessment and activities that support the process.
Delivering a safety case for a new ATC system for Singapore
Air traffic continues to grow in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region. This places increased emphasis on ATM technologies and solutions to deliver the capacity and continued high safety and service standards needed.
Noise monitoring at Heathrow
Heathrow Airport Limited is committed to limiting the impacts of noise on communities around the airport, Helios has been helping with monitoring and reporting.
Safety assurance support for AEROTHAI
We are leading a safety assurance project linked to a nationwide CNS/ATM system modernisation programme in Thailand.
'Seamless' airspace study for GCC
An important strategic project for the region - expected to help deliver the additional capacity and improved efficiency necessary to meet increasing demand.
Supporting the Single European Sky
Three groups key to the implementation of the Single European Sky: the Industry Consultation Body, the NSA Coordination Platform and the Expert Group on the Social Dimension of SES are receiving wide ranging support from Helios.
Airspace Change Process
Independent Review & Recommendations - The UK CAA commissioned Helios to advise on new offshore approach procedures.
Support for European Funding Applications
In amongst the multi-billion euro funds allocated to advancing the Single European Sky, €290 million has been made available through INEA and our experts have supported ANSPs and an international airport with many successful applications.
Helios are highly competent and deliver excellence – a winning combination. They had a deep understanding of our needs after many years of cooperation and we trusted them fully to provide us with the high level of support required for one of COOPANS most important crossroads.
