Overview Ø Ø Ø Global ATM system Planning by partners Global/Regional/National level Subregional/Multinational approach Other Planning Mechanisms § Homogeneous ATM areas § Major Air Traffic Flows Ø Implementation Strategy 2

Global ATM System Ø It is a worldwide system § Meets agreed levels of safety § Provides for optimum economic operations § Environmentally sustainable § Meets national security requirements § Provides seamlessness for all users during all phases of flight Ø Achieves seamlessness through § Homogeneous ATM areas and Major Traffic flows § Interoperability (common requirements, Standards and procedures) and harmonization ( tools and timing) § Performance based equipment carriage 3

Subregional/ Multinational approach … Ø Calls for political will Ø Common goals in terms of ATM objectives and/or CNS requirements Ø Not necessarily adjoining or cross-border Ø Provides integration, rationalization and harmonization of systems and procedures Ø Reduces equipage and maintenance costs Ø Facilitates financing (1/3) 10

Subregional/ Multinational approach … Ø Envelops multiple States/regions Ø Infrastructure establishment by a multinational group, service providers or State(s) Ø Operational management rests with multinational group, service providers or State(s) Ø Better utilization of combined and unified airspace (2/3) 11

Subregional/ Multinational approach Ø Early benefits to airspace users and States Ø Lends itself to a business case Ø User charges is one means of cost recovery; will also serve as a source of repayment Ø Possible to establish joint charges collection agency Ø Based on Homogenous ATM area Ø Examples: Eurocontrol; ASECNA; and COSESNA (3/3) 12

Other planning mechanisms Ø Planning based on Homogenous ATM areas Ø Planning based on Major Traffic Flows. 13

Planning based on homogeneous ATM areas and major traffic flows. . . Homogeneous ATM areas An airspace with a common ATM interest based on similar characteristics of traffic density, complexity, air navigation infrastructure requirements or other specified considerations, wherein a common detailed plan fosters the implementation of interoperable CNS/ATM systems. They may extend over States, specific portions of States or groupings of smaller States. They may include large oceanic and continental en route areas. . 14

Homogeneous ATM areas – some examples North America (SBAS) EUROCONTROL (CNS/ATM) ASECNA (CNS/ATM) South America (G/G Network) SADC (G/G Network) 15

Planning based on homogeneous ATM areas and major traffic flows Major traffic flow: A concentration of significant volumes of air traffic on the same or proximate flight trajectories. Note: Major traffic flows may cross several homogeneous ATM areas with different characteristics Routing area: A defined area encompassing one or more major traffic flows 16

Major traffic flow approach. . . Ø May include various types of airspace; oceanic, continental en route and terminal areas Ø Common goals in terms of ATM objectives and/or CNS requirements Ø Early benefits to airspace users and States (1/5) 19

Major traffic flow approach. . . Ø Envelops multiple States and/or regions Ø Involves consideration of air navigation infrastructure, traffic density and airspace users’ needs Ø Necessarily adjoining or cross-border for it to be a part of the traffic flow Ø Has interoperable CNS systems (2/5) 20

Major traffic flow approach. . . Ø Absorbs gate-to-gate concept Ø Establishment of infrastructure could be by a multinational group, ANS provider or State(s) Ø Provides integration, rationalization and harmonization of systems and procedures (3/5)21

Major traffic flow approach. . . Ø Facilitates financing Ø Operational management rests with multinational group, ANS providers or State(s) Ø Lends itself to a business case; consequently, it is easier to fund the project (4/5) 22

Major traffic flow approach Ø User charges is one of the means of cost recovery and will also serve as a source of repayment Ø Possible to establish a joint charges collection agency (5/5) 23

Examples of implementation based on major traffic flow approach Ø Implementation RVSM from Asia to Europe via south of the Himalayas, through the Middle East, effective 23 November 2003; and Ø RVSM implementation in the Europe/South America corridor, through the Africa-Indian Ocean Region, effective 24 January 2002 24

Approach to implementation… ØThe approach to implementation is on the basis of: § § progress already achieved experience gained by PIRGs and States in the previous cycle of air navigation systems implementation process § existing capabilities of the air navigation systems 1/2 25

Approach to implementation • 23 GPIs identified for addressing shortand medium-term requirements • All GPIs are being implemented by PIRGs and States in different degrees and different time frames 2/2 26

Implementation strategy Ø A collective commitment of all participating/ concerned entities in the State Ø Air navigation systems to be introduced in evolutionary stages, with progressive development of technology and procedures Ø High-risk approach associated with a “big bang” implementation to be prevented Ø Framework must include an integrated approach, encompassing all elements of air navigation systems, such as technical, operational, economical and institutional issues (1/2) 27

Implementation strategy Ø Current ATM operations not be effected Ø During the transition and implementation stages, no degradation in the level of safety Ø Must be a continuous interface with adjacent areas/cross-border States/States within the region to ensure coordinated implementation and consistency of ATM services (2/2) 28

SUMMARY Ø Discussed planning mechanisms § Global, Regional, Subregional, and National level § Planning based on Homogeneous ATM areas and Major Traffic Flows Ø Reviewed Implementation Strategy 29
