On January 14th, 2026, the TADA Team consortium hosted its second Advisory Board (AB) Meeting to review the project’s progress, update experts about the project’s achievements, and share the results of the Low Fidelity Simulation (LFS) held at the Italian ANSP provider ENAV premises in late 2025.

The session with the Advisory Board opened with a project recap led by Project Coordinator INGENAV, followed by a live demo of the TADA Human-Machine Interface (HMI). In fact, the ENAV controllers had the opportunity to interact with the TADA HMI during the LFS activity, held earlier in November 2025.

Highlight: Low-Fidelity Simulation (LFS) – Highlights

The demonstration highlighted three key HMI elements that TADA provides:

  • TADA 4DPT visualisation: An on-demand view of the complete flight trajectory that TADA is suggesting.
  • TADA suggestions: Clear display of necessary ATC instructions directly on flight labels.
  • Deviation alerts: Visual warnings that trigger if a flight moves outside its 4DPT tolerance envelope.

The meeting concluded with a detailed presentation of the LFS results conducted with five professional ENAV Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs). Specifically, the LFS focused on validating the HMI design and collecting user feedback for the next project phase.

The 2nd Advisory Board meeting was held on January 14th, 2026. In addition to the TADA Team, the TADA Advisory Board comprises pilots, airlines, ATM experts, and ANSPs. In brief, the key findings shared with the Advisory Board included:

  • Usability results: The system was deemed highly usable, receiving strong scores for symbology adequacy and the timeliness of proposals.
  • Alert effectiveness: Controllers found the color-coding for alerts adequate, though they recommended removing redundant text to reduce screen clutter.

What’s Next

TADA is now moving into its next critical phase, including algorithm finalisation and integration into the validation platform. Specifically, these efforts will lead to Real-Time Simulations (RTS) scheduled for April 2026, where the improved version of TADA platform will be integrated with the AI algorithm and tested by controllers.
