Thanks to four Piaggio P180 AVANTI II aircraft equipped with the NSM UNIFIS 3000 platform, ENAV can provide flight validation services for communication (UHF, VDF, ATC COM, CPDL) and surveillance (Precision Approach Radar – PAR, Primary Surveillance Radar – PSR, Secondary Surveillance Radar – SSR  Mode A/C/S, Surveillance Minimum Altitude Chart Validation, ADS-B) facilities. 

The aim of this activity is to provide assurance for the performance of the communication and surveillance equipment used to serve the relevant airspace. The provisions of ICAO Annex 10, Doc 8071 and other documents, including internal ENAV manuals, are used to satisfy any requirement.

Flight inspection of communication and surveillance facilities is performed in accordance with customer needs. A wide range of exercises can be performed, from recording in-flight parameters and producing the associated report to flying a customized flight path as a passive target for surveillance radar. Depending on the type of exercise performed, a detailed report and a declaration of the usability status of the facility will be delivered in accordance with customer specifications.
