The Dominican Republic Civil Aviation Authority is the Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation (IDAC), member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) since the signature of the Chicago Convention in 1944.

Our Mission is to regulate, certify, oversee and promote the aeronautic activity, as well as to provide air navigation services, managing safety risks effective and efficiently.

Our Vision is to become an excellency government institution recognized internationally by its leadership with automated processes and services to manage the optimal safety level worldwide.

Our Strategic goals are oriented to the efficient growth of the industry, supported by the integrated safety risk management and the customer satisfaction.

THE DIRECTION OF AIR NAVIGATION (DINA)

The Direction of Air Navigation (DINA) is the area responsible for planning, organizing and managing the Air Navigation Services. DINA evaluates the needs reflected in the strategic plans and executes the actions and projects of the operational plans reffering new infrastructure and equipment within its competency area.

In December this year, we ll inaugurate a brand new Area Control Center able to host 16 ATC positions, with capacity to receive 12 RADAR antennas, mode S capability with all its associated systems, such as, Communications, Data Link, Flight Data Processor, etc

2 ILS Systems 2NDB 6 out of 8 International Airports with RNAV/GNSS approach, SID s and STAR s Procedures for every runway National Aeronautical Telecommunication Network Very Small Network Aperture Terminal Station for MEVA The Air Traffic Service Message Handling (AMHS) installed and internally operational System

In 2012, we provided Air Navigation Services for around 140,000 operations, transporting almost 10,000,000 passengers in and out our airports facilities. Accordingly with our National Strategic Plan Axe for tourism development, our infrastructure will allow us to manage the increasing number operations within the next 5 years.

We firmly believe that collaboration and integration are important milestones in the sustainable growth and development of the communities. In the past decades, our active participation in all programs established by ICAO, as well as our national implementation plans, shows our commitment to become part of the continuous advance of the Regional Aviation System.

Some examples of what we just mentioned are: Implementation of Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) in 2005 Hosts to the First Regional Seminar of Civil- Militar Coordination in 2006 Part of the West Atlantic Routes System Reestructure and Separation Reduction (WATRS) in 2008 Hosts to the First ATS Messaging Management Centre Users Training (AMC) in the NAM/CAR/SAM Región in 2009

Active participation in the ICAO New Flight Plan Format Implementation in 2012 In this year, we ll be hosting the 3rd Seminar/Workshop for the implementation of the ATS Message Handling System (AMHS) Likewise, we re bound to the implementation of Performance Based Navigation in the context of the Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU)

Another great example of cooperation is the Agreement of Air Navigation Services signed between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and IDAC of RADAR data Sharing, to improveairspaceradarcoveragewithsan Juan, Puerto Rico.

Today, we gladly celebrate being part of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), for we expect it will provide the necessary support to integrate the human and technological factors that will become the engine to motorize our vision of the sustainable development of the national aviation system in the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic will keep open and willing to collaborate and cooperate in every project that reafirm the joined efforts for the complexion of the common Regional Goals and Objectives.

Martinique Montserrat Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines San Juan Anguilla Antigua & Barbuda Barbados Dominica Grenada Guadeloupe This information is transmitted in the form of NOTAM, Flight Plan, Meteorological information and other ATS Messages via the AMHS which has a much higher functionality (which includes Security and Directory access facilities) than AFTN, and the messages can carry digital information, including text, graphics, images, files, databases, audio and video.

The E/CAR AFS network for Switched (data) and Direct Ground-to Ground (speech) is realized via a CISCO based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network spanning the Eastern Caribbean islands and up to Puerto Rico.

Regional Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) Trials TTCAA has been liaising with airlines inbound to Piarco from the United States in order to improve the efficiency of both their lateral and vertical flight paths. Collaboration is already taking place with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic in this regard. Plans are to implement in all States within the Eastern Caribbean. The TTCAA is also coordinating with Barbados, Martinique and Guadeloupe in order to implement CDO trials for European flights inbound to the Caribbean..

Procedure Design The TTCAA has invested in the development of a Procedure Design Unit Apart from designing Instrument Approaches, Standard Departures and Arrival Routes for Trinidad and Tobago, the TTCAA intends to provide this service to the States within the ECAR

Tasks accomplished Trinidad and Tobago, in accordance with the CAR/SAM Regional Air Navigation Plan, has incorporated the concepts of PBN into its strategic objectives plan and has developed and submitted to the ICAO NACC Office, a PBN implementation roadmap. Along with ATM improvements, the TTCAA has expended major resources towards the development of its Communications /Navigations /Surveillance (CNS) systems. The ANS department of the TTCAA has already held introductory meetings with some air operators as well as one section of our military air guard, and there are further meetings planned with other stakeholders planned throughout the rest of 2013. The TTCAA has also held meetings with the Lands and Survey Department of Trinidad and Tobago with regard to obtaining ETOD based on the accuracy requirements outlined in Annex 15. The TTCAA has formed a Core Implementation team in accordance with ICAO recommendations. The Team Leader visited Barbados on March 1st 2013 in order to conduct a PBN Workshop (The intention is to provide similar workshops to all States within the ECAR).

VSAT TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE PIARCO FIR

CASSOS was established on the signing by the Governments of Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago of the Agreement Establishing the Caribbean Aviation Safety and Security Oversight System, and designated an Institution of the Community by the Conference pursuant to Article 21 of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas.

CASSOS has established an ANS Committee to look after the needs of harmonising and integrating systems within Air Navigation Departments throughout the CARICOM Region and along with Member States. CASSOS has decided at its last Meeting (March 2013) to: a) Re direct efforts pertaining to the Single Airspace Concept (based on the accomplishments of Trinidad and Tobago) and have the ANS Committee look after the concerns raised through the Single Airspace Concept. b) Move all efforts to Creating a Single Economic Space to foster the growth of Aviation in the Region and to enable the free movement of aviation professionals and passengers.
