WS 1 Overview ASAS Operational improvements: Dream or Reality? Roma, 28 th to 30 th 2003 63 Attendees Report published June 28 th 2003 ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

WS 1 Structure • Day 1 – Welcome – ASAS TN Overview – Workshop Objectives – Operational applications enabled by ADS-B – Key Players expectations ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

WS 1 Structure • Day 2 – Benefits – Cost/implications – Impact – Inter-operation and Safety • Day 3 – Wrap up ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Plenary Session What are the expectations from the main players? • • Chris North (EC DGTREN) Pieter van der Kraan (EUROCONTROL) Nicolas Zveguintzoff (IATA) Bo Redeborn (LFV) ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Plenary Session • Need to get airports and airlines more involved. • Get full commitment • Implementation time lines are too long. • Too many things are going on separately. • USA/European cooperation – R&D sufficient? ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Benefits Operational needs, lessons learned, expected benefits, overall maturity and potential implementation timeframe. • • Juergen Lauterbach (Lufthansa) Graeme Clark (Easyjet) Pedro Rastrilla (AENA) Alain Printemps (CENA) ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Benefits • A large number of potential benefits were identified: – ASAS Spacing most promising application for the short term; – Airport enhanced surveillance could improve the safety and efficiency. • A number of concerns were highlighted: – Sharing of responsibilities, Controller acceptability, Safety Case – Need for reference operational concepts – Competing enabling technologies (1090 vs. VDL Mode 4) – Business case paramount ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Costs/Implications of ASAS applications on ground/ airborne systems, training communication, infrastructure, and the ‘associated costs’. • • Pieter van der Kraan (EUROCONTROL) Peter Howlett (THALES ATM) Thomas Fixy (Airbus) Patrick Souchu (DGAC) ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Costs/Implications • Early implementation is essential • Further work is needed for Standards and CBA • We should mandate Package 1 and focus on subset Application to reduce timetable • 1090 ES is not the answer but is going to happen, a study for the up-link is needed ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Impact Expected impact of ASAS on workload, safety, and responsibility for the human operators • • Uwe Kroger (IFALPA and VC) Anthony Smoker (IFATCA) Bengt Moberg (SAS) Roberto Barchitta (Alitalia) ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Impact • Lack of knowledge concerning what ASAS • Willingness to be involved by IFALPA, IFATCA and ATCEU • Trust - both technical and managerial issues • Package 1 may not be ambitious enough/ paradigm shift • Learn from experience in “parallel worlds” and use the safety case ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Inter-operation / Safety Change the environment, delays, standards, military, ATC sectors, single sky. Transition aspects. Mix equipage environment. Time scales. Interoperability • • Alberto Pasquini (Deep Blue) Jose Roca (EUROCONTROL) Ronald van Gent (NLR) Martin Robinson- (IAOPA) ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Inter-operation / Safety • General – Need to disseminate/coordinate better – Still a need to avoid the capacity gridlock • Maturity – Validation required – Integration with existing systems • Mixed equipage – Equipage rate – Transition • Mandate – Safety benefits – Mode S elementary surveillance – Incentive ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö

Conclusions • Need for agreement and commitment from the various stakeholders • Package 1 definition exists but fragile • Need for pilot and controller acceptability • Need for agreed standards for interoperability • Need for a clear implementation plan • Need for improved exchange of information ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6 -8 October 2003, Malmö
