The objective of this manual is to provide an overview of systems operating in the AMS(R)S and offer guidance on the consideration of satellite networks as a platform for AMS(R)S communications for the safety and regularity of flight. The AMS(R)S serves the safety, regularity and efficiency of flight by providing communications between the aircraft earth stations (AES) (on-board an aircraft) and ground earth stations (GES) through a satellite link. This manual is to be considered in conjunction with the ICAO SARPs as contained in Annex 10, Volume III, Part I, Chapter 4. This manual provides implementation guidance for specific satellite systems operating in the AMS(R)S. Available in English, Arabic and Russian.
