Aviation StandardsInterface ILcdDAFIFCommunicationFeature

All Superinterfaces:

ILcdServiceFeature

public interface ILcdDAFIFCommunicationFeature
extends ILcdServiceFeature

This interface extends the more general applicable features defined in the ILcdServiceFeature interface with DAFIF specific features for airport and heliport communications.

If a featured domain object contains a value for a feature, this value should comply with the terms specified in this interface.

This interface defines the features (properties) that can be requested through ILcdFeatured. A more preferred and generic way to access the properties of a domain object is through ILcdDataObject. The related class defining the available data object properties for a DAFIF communication is TLcdDAFIFCommunicationDataProperties.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static String	COMMUNICATION_NAME The call sign of the communication facilities other than the name of the referenced airport or heliport.
static String	COMMUNICATION_TYPE A code uniquely identifying the type of communications facility.
static String	COMMUNICATION_TYPE_MULTIPLIER When a unique communications type has more than one entry, the multiplier will indicate the next entry.

Field Detail

COMMUNICATION_TYPE

static final String COMMUNICATION_TYPE

A code uniquely identifying the type of communications facility. The communication type feature is of type TLcdCommunicationType

See Also:

Constant Field Values

COMMUNICATION_NAME

static final String COMMUNICATION_NAME

The call sign of the communication facilities other than the name of the referenced airport or heliport. The communication name is of type String.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SYMBOLS

static final String SYMBOLS

A code which uniquely identifies specific capabilities of the communication facility:

• R - Radar capability
• V - VHF emergency frequency 121.5 monitored
• U - UHF emergency frequency 243.0 monitored
• E - VHF and UHF emergency frequencies monitored
.

The communication symbol is of type TLcdSymbolType

Constant Field Values

FREQUENCY_1

static final String FREQUENCY_1

The appropriate frequency which will allow communication with the identified facility. This field will not have an implied decimal and it will contain the unit of measurement in (K) kilohertz or (M) Megahertz. The frequency is of type String.

The DAFIF Edition 8 communication records can contain more than five frequencies, therefore the feature FREQUENCIES is used to decode the frequencies fields. The features FREQUENCY_x are not used in the DAFIFT decoder.

Constant Field Values

FREQUENCY_2

static final String FREQUENCY_2

See Also:

FREQUENCY_1, Constant Field Values

FREQUENCY_3

static final String FREQUENCY_3

See Also:

FREQUENCY_1, Constant Field Values

FREQUENCY_4

static final String FREQUENCY_4

See Also:

FREQUENCY_1, Constant Field Values

FREQUENCY_5

static final String FREQUENCY_5

See Also:

FREQUENCY_1, Constant Field Values

FREQUENCIES

static final String FREQUENCIES

A list of frequencies which will allow communication with the identified facility. Each list item will not have an implied decimal and it will contain the unit of measurement in (K) kilohertz or (M) Megahertz. The frequencies is of type List containing all available frequencies of type String.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

COMMUNICATION_TYPE_MULTIPLIER

static final String COMMUNICATION_TYPE_MULTIPLIER

When a unique communications type has more than one entry, the multiplier will indicate the next entry. All communications type multipliers will have at least one populated. The multiplier is of type Integer.

Example: POST - command post, when a given airport has two of the same type, i.e. Andrews AFB has two command posts, one for the air force and one for the navy, this would require two entries, multiplier one (1) for the air force entry and a multiplier of two (2) for the navy entry.

Constant Field Values

SECTOR

static final String SECTOR

Identifies the area within which the frequencies are to be used/effective. The sector is of type String.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SPECIFIC_OPERATING_HOURS

static final String SPECIFIC_OPERATING_HOURS

Hours of operation that apply specifically to frequencies which are different from the airport/heliport operating hours. The operating hours are of type String.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

REMARKS

static final String REMARKS

Information determined to be essential, expressed in human readable format The remarks are of type String.
