It can also be received by other aircraft which provide situational awareness and allows for self-separation.Minister within the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Annette Ferguson,

This, she indicated, was a milestone in air traffic management operations, and in the coming years it will be used in the middle and lower airspace.She added that fruit was borne from her participation in an International Civil Aviation Organisation World Forum.“A draft project document to aid Guyana’s institutional strengthening of the Civil Aviation Safety oversight system was discussed with donor and lending agencies for consideration.
