Hello,
Great to know that OMA can send crew location to NMS via REST API without using multispeak adapter. With this enhancement available, it will be helpful to also enhance the existing feature of crew emergency in OMA. When an OMA crew declares emergency on OMA mobile app, besides what NMS does today for this,
- the crew (icon view) on NMS viewer can have special color or even blinking to get attention from control room
- the NMS viewer, if opened, can automatically zoom into the area where the crew is located and has emergency information. The crew icon can be circled with blinking red circle icon. NMS viewer can have some preference setting to enable this so that it won't affect/interfere with normal control room work
- the details of the crew can include the geo coordinates and the timestamp when the crew claimed emergency. I think the crew details today already include crew contact info (mobile number etc).
Basically, great if the NMS can be enhanced to allow control room to spot on crews on emergency quickly and act.
Thanks and regards
Frank
