Subject : Explanation and use of FOQS and ACARS in security system SMS

It is to draw your information regarding FOQS and ACARS that both the systems are effective in the information system of airport management in Mohammed V. International Airport. Both the systems guarantee flow of information ensuring top quality security

FOQS signifies the Flight Operations Quality Assurance, which is a voluntary program for providing security in SMS or safety management programs. On the other hand, ACARS is an Aircraft communication Addressing and Reporting System that provides support to transmit digital data to flying aircraft and ground stations.

FOQS can be used in SMS maintenance programs and UAS operations through the following ways:

• It reduces risks in commercial aviation programs that make operations safer for both the organization and passengers.

• It allows both the airports and airlines to share all the non-identified aggregate information with the FAA.

• It helps FAA in prioritizing and optimizing all its limited resources to reduce operational risks in flight operations

ACARS can be used in SMS maintenance programs and UAS operations through the following ways:

• It messages all the three primary basics; ATC, AOC, and AAC for maintaining consistency in communication.’

• It works to normalize the voice communications in security systems or SMS

• It establishes redundancy in the aircraft communication system

• It monitors all the aircraft parameters to ensure security policies

• It sends back information to home automatically before the landing of aircraft

Thus, it is important to install both the systems in all the airports to make the SMS maintenance programs, an UAS operations effective.
