Update on wind farms' impact on air navigation published

摘要

Eurocontrol has published an update on its recommendations for assessing the impact on wind turbines on airport surveillance systems. Wind turbines can potentially have a detrimental impact on the performance of surveillance systems used in air traffic control. A wind farm with many wind turbines could create false targets; lose or corrupt information on an aircraft's position. The update provides a fresh assessment on the potential impact of wind turbine structures on surveillance systems. It also gives suggestions for mitigation options.
