The country’s air traffic management system is again running at full functionality, but it has no backup in case the system breaks down again as it did on New Year’s Day. | GabrielLaluINQ
VSAT stands for “very small aperture terminal,” a two-way satellite ground station with a satellite dish used for communication between air traffic managers and pilots. It is part of the Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance Systems for Air Traffic Management .“We still have to buy parts so we could restore the redundant system… The redundant system of the VSAT is still not operational, although the CICC already gave a part that we have installed.
“That’s our shortcoming. We are reactive. But there should be spare parts available for this critical system, right?” Acop said.Earlier in the hearing, Acop was able to confirm that CAAP only used parts from the backup VSAT — which he believed was broken during the Jan. 1 breakdown— to fix the VSAT damaged by the power surge, or overvoltage.On New Year’s Day, both the main and backup power supplies malfunctioned.
The surge damaged some key components, like the VSAT. Getting the VSAT replacement set up is what took CAAP so long to restore the system.
