Eram Zoo
The En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) system architecture replaces the En Route Host computer system and its backup. ERAM provides all of today's functionality and: * Adds new capabilities needed to support the evolution of US National Airspace System * Improves information security and streamlines traffic flow at US international borders * Processes flight radar data * Provides communications support * Generates display data to air traffic controllers * The display system provides real-time electronic aeronautical information and efficient data management. * Provides a fully functional backup system, precluding the need to restrict operations in the event of a primary failure * The backup system provides the National Transportation Safety Board-recommended safety alerts, altitude warnings and conflict alerts. * Improves surveillance by using a greater number and variety of surveillance sources * Detects and alerts air traffic controllers when aircraft are flying too close to ...

National Airspace System
The National Airspace System (NAS) is the airspace, navigation facilities and airports of the United States along with their associated information, services, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, personnel and equipment. It includes components shared jointly with the military. It is one of the most complex aviation systems in the world, and services air travel in the United States and over large portions of the world's oceans. Organization A flight through the NAS typically begins and ends at an airport which may be controlled (by a tower) or uncontrolled. On departure, the aircraft is in one of five of the six classes of airspace administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and different flight rules apply to each class. Depending on the class of airspace and flight conditions, communication with controllers may or may not be required. Operation of each flight is always the responsibility of the pilot in command, but air traffic controllers give instructions fo ...
