Tracker quality monitoring by non-dedicated calibration flights

Sensor and tracking quality analysis is a key factor in the quality assurance in surveillance for Air Traffic Control (ATC) at an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) like the DFS. In this paper we present a collaboration infrastructure that allows automatic tracker quality analysis by using results of regular ferry and mission flights conducted for inspection of navigation aids. The goal of this infrastructure is to allow the two companies Flight Calibration Service GmbH (FCS) and Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS) to combine their respective expertise in an efficient manner.
