| UkSATSE performs flight calibration of new ATC System in Lviv |
 This month UkSATSE is planning to certify the new Air Traffic Control (ATC) System installed at Lviv Regional Branch which successfully passed flight calibration on May 4-5, 2020.
Flight calibration was performed by flight inspection aircraft Beechcraft King Air B300 «UR-CWA» that belongs to a structural unit of UkSATSE and AN-26 «UR-CSK» leased by ELERON Aviation Company which performs regular flights from/to Kyiv, Lviv and European cities.
Andrii Yarmak, Head of UkSATSE: “The key element of the performed in Lviv flight calibration is the simultaneous use of two aircraft. The flight program was agreed between the two companies, the crews were briefed before the flights, and after that, the purpose-designed aircraft Beechcraft and cargo An-26 performed flights in accordance with the program. Special flight calibration elements make it possible to test the STCA safety functions, in particular simulated Air Proximity to check the automatic emergency response of the System”.
Due to the coordination between air traffic controllers (ATCOs) and engineers of Lviv RB, as well as crews of both air companies, flight calibration was completed in accordance with the approved program.
 The ATC System installed at Lviv RB, aimed to provide a significantly more advanced level of air traffic management, will be an effective tool for the ATCOs operation.
The new System will enable implementation of the regional Free Routes Airspace (FRA) between the adjacent ACCs of the neighbouring states.
The certification test of the new ATC System is necessary to obtain a Certificate from the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine authorizing the commissioning of the equipment scheduled for June 2020.
UkSATSE appreciates the assistance of ELERON Aviation Company in carrying out this important task during the certification process.
It was previously reported that the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine had received a request from UkSATSE to start a certification test of the newly installed equipment which would increase the capacity of the western part of the Ukrainian airspace and enhance safety in the Ukrainian sky.
