Designing ROPS ü ROPS functions by continuously monitoring the aircraft’s position and calculating the distance needed to safely stop the aircraft. ü If at any time, this distance becomes longer than the remaining runway length, ROPS triggers an alert.

Designing ROPS Consistency Airbus ROPS is built on the same hypotheses used for the Airbus In-Flight landing distances. All of which are based on the recommendations from the TALPA ARC working group and recommended by the FAA in AC 25 -32 In-Flight LD Page 10 © AIRBUS all rights reserved.

Feedback It is Airbus’ practice to limit the installation of new functions to a limited number of companies in order to gain operational feedback. Controlled Entry-into-Service Airbus setup a dedicated team of ROPS experts to closely follow ROPS introduction and act as an interface between the design team and the customer ROPS Support Page 13 © AIRBUS all rights reserved.

Feedback Important to have open dialogue between the airline companies and Airbus. Open Dialogue … Data is key Data Exchange not only in understanding issues but also to test future design optimizations. There should be effective means for data exchange for safety Page 14 © AIRBUS all rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Eurocontrol Safety Forum 2016 7 -8 June 2016
Feedback – An Example of Data Exchange and Dialogue What the Pilot Sees What ROPS Sees ROP Low Speed Alerts Data Exchange Airbus Analysis Debrief with Airline Page 15 © AIRBUS all rights reserved.

Global Standardization The industry is working together towards global standardization EUROCAE Working Group 101 - Runway Overrun Awareness and Alerting Systems International representation working together to create a Minimum Operational Performance Standard EASA RMT. 0570 – Reduction of Runway Excursions The objective of this task remains to increase the level of safety by reducing the number of runway excursions through mandating ROAAS on-board certain large aeroplane categories to be determined Page 20 © AIRBUS all rights reserved.

A Global Success Safety Nets add an additional layer of security but are only one part of the solution. Aircraft operators, civil aviation authorities, aerodromes and ANSPs all have an important role to play Together we can reverse the trend of runway overruns and improve safety at landing.
