Executive Summary
National ATM Context
ATM legislation aspects:
With effect of 20th of Dec. 2018, the ‘Air Traffic Rules 2014’ (LVR 2014) have been amended, adapting the Airspace Classifications based on COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 923/2012 SERA, and others.
National Stakeholders:
NSA: In 2018, Austrian NSA continued to execute the national oversight program and to run various audits, in order to ensure proper compliance and deployment activities.
Geographical scope:
Since February 2018, Austro Control forms part of the enhanced Free Route initiative ‘South East Common Sky Initiative FRA’ (SECSI FRA). This initiative represents a seamless Free Route Airspace from Ground / FL205 / FL325 up to FL660, based on H24/7 and comprising the FIRs of Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro.
Traffic and Capacity in 2018
Traffic & Complexity:
Traffic in Austria (ACC plus INN corridor) increased by 6.8% during Summer 2018 (May to October inclusive), when compared to the same period during 2017.
LSSIP Year 2018 Austria 2 Released Issue
The stressed performance of ACC Wien, as seen specifically during the summer period 2018 was caused by various reasons, whereas the main contributing factors have been identified as follows:
• Higher Demand than traffic forecast; almost 7% traffic increase versus 4% conceived capacity increase based on 5,2% TFC forecast from STATFOR / high growth (TFC increase at specific days reached even 18%).
• additional onloading traffic and traffic flows from “4ACCs” - primarily EDUU - resulting in increased sector complexity for ACC Wien: ANSP PRU structural index value 2017: 7,70 -> 2018: 8,64
• trajectory prediction reduced due to: added traffic flows, deviations due to weather, intruding aircraft due to weather/CBs from adjacent ATC units
• Lack of FPL adherence: ‚creative routings‘ as filed in FPLs, very frequently were subject to short term changes and time consuming adaptations / coordinations.
Capacity and ATFM delays:
• The annual ATFM Delay for ACC Wien was 0.9 min/flight, thus missing the target value of 0,19 min/flight.
• The higher impact of disturbances within the network (e.g. adverse weather) led to a higher and quicker saturation of sector capacities compared to former years.
ACC Staffing:
• High traffic growth already in late spring caused an increased ATCO allocation during May and June, which resulted in partial less availability of staff during the high season.
• Limited availability and readiness of ATCO staff to compensate for staff shortfall (numerous consecutive days with CBs, high and extensive workload,…)
Airport Vienna in 2018:
Traffic increased by 6,8 %, whereas the ATFM delays remained below the target value of 1,27 min/flight, reaching 0,64 min/flight. Vienna Airport surpassed threshold of 27 Million passengers for the first time.

Progress per SESAR Phase
The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6.1 (PCP objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that two objectives – AOM19.1 and FCM05 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the percentage of both phases.
The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (to, and including, ATM MP L3 Edition 2011‐2017) are also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented by the State.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) documents, as an integral part of the Master Plan (MP) Level 3 (L3)/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the MP Level 3 and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. This LSSIP document describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2018, together with plans for the next years.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organisations, the organisational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided;
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;
Chapter 3 provides a set of conclusions extracted from the MP L3 Implementation Report 2018, which are relevant to the State/stakeholders concerned. The State reports how they have handled those conclusions and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those conclusions;
Chapter 4 provides the main Implementation Projects (at national, FAB and regional level) which contribute directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation Objectives. Level 1 document covers high level list of the projects showing the applicable links. All other details like description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas provided by the State per each project are available in Level 2 document;
Chapter 5 deals with other cooperation activities beyond Implementation Projects. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and also all other regional initiatives which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the States concerned;
Chapter 6 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation, implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition the high-level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective is presented. The information for each Implementation Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
Level 1 document is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of Implementation Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2018. In addition it covers detailed description of the Implementation Projects for the State as extracted from the LSSIP Data Base.
The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

LOVVACC - Traffic and en-route ATFM delays
LSSIP Year 2018 Austria 21 Released Issue
Summer 2018 performance assessment
The ACC capacity baseline was measured with ACCESS at 198. During the measured period, the average peak 1 hour demand was 204 and the average peak 3 hour demand was 192.
Planning Period 2019-2024
The planning focuses on the Summer season to reflect the most demanding period of the year from a capacity perspective. This approach ensures consistency with the previous planning cycles.
Following the inputs provided by the European Commission at the ad-hoc NMB on 25 October 2018, en-route delay reference values and capacity requirement profiles have been calculated for RP3 (2020-2024) based on the proposal made by the PRB to the European Commission.
Final en-route delay reference values and capacity requirement profiles will be provided after the final decision on RP3 targets.

3. Master Plan Level 3 Implementation Report conclusions
Conclusions issued from the European ATM Master Plan Level 3 Implementation Report 2018 applicable to Austria for all items that require corrective actions and improvements.
Conclusion Applicable to COLLABORATIVE FLIGHT PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION DELAYS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND
SUPPORT FOR IMPLEMENTATION FROM NM GIVEN TO THE LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. (page 10 of the Report)
All States with delays in implementation of FCM03
State’s action planned for this conclusion: see below Description of the planned action: Collaborative flight planning was already fully implemented, but after the deployment of the new ATM System, it turned out that the AFP activation and provision has been wrongly implemented. Time for correction is under discussion to reach the final operational capability by end of 2019 at the latest.
Conclusion Applicable to IMPLEMENTATION OF FRA IS VERY MUCH ENCOURAGED BELOW FL310 AND IN CROSS-BORDER AIRSPACE. (page 19 of the Report)
ECAC States
State’s action planned for this conclusion: Austria has reached this requirement by far, having implemented Free Route Airspace from ground (GND) to the upper State boundary (equals FL660), including the cross border application with Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia/Hercegovina, Serbia and Montenegro (SECSIFRA) Description of the planned action: ---

5. Cooperation activities
FAB Co-ordination
Having signed and ratified the Agreement on the Establishment of Functional Airspace Block Central Europe, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia are part of FAB CE.
The FAB CE States agreed on establishment of the following permanent bodies - the FAB CE Council, NSA Coordination Committee and Joint Civil-Military Airspace Coordination Committee. The FAB CE Council can also establish other bodies necessary for the implementation, operation and further development of the FAB CE Programme. At the ANSP level, the FAB CE is directed and steered by the CEO Committee and Steering Committee. Specialised SubCommittees have been established for operational, technical, safety, financial, HR and legal domains.
The air navigation service providers of the FAB CE countries established a joint company FABCE Aviation Services, Ltd (FCE) already in 2014 and the company is responsible for the professional management of various regional air navigation projects. The establishment of this joint venture is not only effectively aiming at the progress of the FAB CE programme, but at the same time the Single European Sky programme of the European Union. In 2018, the ANSPs decided to modify the FCE Memorandum of Association and Shareholders Agreement which now allows technical and operational projects to be launched by a group of FAB CE partners focused on a specific area of air traffic management performance improvement. Not all FAB CE ANSPs share the same operational, traffic load and equipment priorities, but until now there was a need for the consent of all partners to proceed. This new agreement will allow FAB CE partners with a focus on a specific area of performance improvement to form new collaborative agreements. This will address specific customer requirements while increasing the overall effectiveness of the FAB CE work programme. Planning and implementing FAB CE common operational and procurement programmes should therefore move ahead more swiftly in the future.
There have been a number of important achievements in 2018 focusing on several key areas. The following bullets summarise the most important activities delivering the benefits to airspace users:
• Airspace planning and network development activities focusing on continuous improvements to enable optimum use of airspace, taking into account air traffic flows are the top priority for FAB CE. The FAB CE ANSPs have transformed themselves into a ‘FAB CE Airspace Alliance’ and are currently defining options for further airspace defragmentation to unlock additional capacity and flight efficiency benefits for airspace users. After the completion of the FAB CE FRA Study, the DEVOPS project (FAB CE Development of Operational Performance and ATM Strategies, previously known as FAB CE Project 1 incl. FAB CE FRA Study) was considerably revised and it now includes annual updates of FAB CE Network Operations Plan (FNOP), FAB CE Airspace Plan and ATM Manual. Additional tasks were launched at the end of 2017 focusing on coordination and monitoring of the regional FRA initiatives in which FAB CE ANSPs participate.
Two additional new activities were assigned to the DEVOPS project in 2018:
o ‘FAB CE Capacity and flow improvements’ activity contains a set of tasks performed with the aim of improving FAB CE network performance;
o ‘FAB CE cross-border airspace improvements’ contains a set of tasks aimed at improving FAB CE airspace cross-border functionality and seamless operations in FAB CE airspace. The associated tasks are related to static cross-border improvements.
Both new activities are expected to be launched in Q1 2019 in alignment and coordination with the NM. The project’s scope is now, however, under evaluation taking into account the available draft results of the Airspace Architecture Study to make sure that the project is aligned with the upcoming NM/SJU activities.
LSSIP Year 2018 Austria 32 Released Issue
• The FAB CE states, together with their neighbouring partners, are at the frontline of the Free Route Airspace (FRA) implementation in the region. In just less than a year after signing the memorandum of cooperation aimed towards merging the two Free Route Airspaces SAXFRA (Slovenian Austrian Cross-border Free Route Airspace) and SEAFRA (South-East Axis Free Route Airspace - project of three ANSPs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro), the South East Common Sky Initiative Free Route Airspace (SECSI FRA) has successfully been implemented, with the support of the Network Manager. In addition, LPS SR, Slovakia’s air navigation service provider (ANSP), has joined the SEEN FRA (South East Europe Night Free Route Airspace) initiative of three ANSPs - BULATSA, HungaroControl and ROMATSA. SEEN FRA is a volume of European airspace where aircraft operators can file flight plans without having to follow prescribed air traffic service (ATS) routes (or “airways“) during night times, between midnight and 0600.
Coordination of the FAB aspects and monitoring of all regional FRA initiatives in which FAB CE ANSPs participate is done at the FAB CE level through the DEVOPS project. For FAB CE, the success of these initiatives is also an important step towards establishing Free Route airspace across FAB CE and also to Non-EU airspace.
• FAB CE has completed the ‘FAB CE-wide implementation of DAM and STAM’ study in 2018 aimed at the following goals:
o Enable equitable treatment of all airspace users in the allocation of airspace and required trajectories on short notice and increased flexibility in dealing with short-term adjustments of airspace configurations (achieved through data-sharing and collaboration mechanisms);
o Provide proactive route/trajectory activation/airspace reservation or restriction allocation through a collaborative (cross-border) decision-making process to accommodate short-term changes;
o Provide supporting processes and tools (requirements) that allow for the FAB CE FRA to achieve optimal operational efficiency;
o Overall increase of airspace capacity through optimized utilization of airspace configurations and scenarios, as STAM will provide more opportunities to balance demand and available capacity;
o More robust and reliable planning for the airspace users through a common view amongst all stakeholders on the availability of airspace and a larger selection of airspace configurations tailored towards different scenarios;
o Enable airspace users to make informed decisions and to increase their benefits by offering a larger choice of possible routeing and (until full FRA implementation is completed) airspace options.
• FAB CE ANSPs have completed Phase I of an activity to develop a joint contingency concept in cooperation with the Network Manager. Phase I resulted in commonly agreed concept, procedures and technical enablers for the management of short- and medium-term (less than 2 hours) contingency event. FAB CE is now initiating Phase II which will address management of long-term contingency events (beyond 2 hours duration) and will provide for a common coordination platform for coordinating and monitoring the implementation activities of Phase I.
• FAB CE ANSPs completed a comprehensive review of its Concept of Seamless Operations in 2018. This document summarizes the ATM functionalities (Pilot Common Project - PCP and New Essential Operational Capabilities – NEOC) which, when implemented on FAB CE-wide level in a harmonised manner, establish an operational environment enabling seamless operations. The CSO concept described in this document assesses the whole ATM service chain from pre-departure to landing with reference to the on-going developments within SESAR, EUROCONTROL and EC Regulations while taking into consideration other on-going activities within FAB CE. CSO therefore also outlines the FAB CE Operational Concept in OPS and TEC domains for the coming years.
• A pilot project for common procurement of FAB CE CNS covering an upgrade of the cross-border telecommunications network (X-bone) hardware has been successfully completed in 2018. The procurement was managed by FAB CE ANSPs’ joint venture FABCE Aviation Services, Ltd., which is used as a FAB CE outsourcing platform for ATM/CNS infrastructure. Six air navigation service providers (ANSPs) purchased CISCO routers based on a common specification and tender to benefit from lower procurement costs and economies of scale. Following the successful conclusion of this project, the FAB CE CEO Committee has agreed to apply these same procedures for future smart procurement
LSSIP Year 2018 Austria 33 Released Issue
initiatives.
• FAB CE ANSPs have also made a significant progress in terms of developing processes for planning and operations of the surveillance infrastructure. The ‘Surveillance infrastructure optimisation’ project has been successfully completed in 2018. The processes for surveillance infrastructure planning, surveillance maintenance planning, maintenance of SUR database and sharing the specifications were developed and are now in the process of implementation. The project also proposed a number of overall SUR service quality improvements and developed a feasibility study for the regional tracker. Due to the negative CBA, the regional tracker project will be not further pursued.
• The NAVAID optimisation project which will improve interoperability and data-sharing through the optimisation of navigational aid (NAVAID) infrastructure, reducing duplication and unnecessary complexity has been started in 2018. This project will meet the accuracy, integrity and continuity requirements for proposed operations in FAB CE airspace by aligning NAVAID operating and purchasing policies among the seven FABEC ANSPs, reducing purchasing, implementation, operational and maintenance costs. The project group will first develop a process for coordinated NAVAID infrastructure and preventive maintenance planning and information-sharing where operational dependencies are evident. The second part of the project is focusing on an analysis of NAVAID infrastructure and coverage - including those of neighbouring countries. The team will identify potential areas for improvement, including operational interdependencies and requirements. The third part is focusing on solving operational issues – namely, assessing vulnerabilities within the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) network. This will require addressing signal monitoring and interference issues while assessing how free route airspace will influence the requirements for ground-based NAVAIDs in this new era of area navigation operations.
• FAB CE progressed with the development of the ATSEP Competence Scheme in order to close the gaps with respect to requirements of the Commission Regulation (EU) 373/2017 in the coordinated way.
The FAB CE Programme is continuously updated by the FAB CE bodies under management of the FAB CE Programme Manager with the support of the FAB CE Programme Support Office and there are a number of pending projects focusing on delivering additional benefits to airspace users that will be implemented in the near future.

The A6 Alliance was founded in 2011 by six ANSP members of the SESAR JU – DFS (Germany), DSNA (France), AENA (Spain) renamed later to ENAIRE, ENAV (Italy), NATS (UK) and NORACON – a consortium of Austro Control (Austria), AVINOR (Norway), EANS (Estonia), Finavia (Finland), IAA (Ireland), LFV (Sweden) and Naviair (Denmark).
In 2015 PANSA became a full member of the A6 Alliance. At the same time the COOPANS consortium replaced NORACON in all A6 activities and the B4 Consortium joined A6 in the area of SESAR 2020.
The A6 Alliance has also concluded a collaboration agreement with Skyguide in relation to SESAR 2020 R&D activities, as well as with ROMATSA and HungaroControl in relation to SESAR Deployment Manager.
The A6 Alliance plays a significant role in Research & Development through active participation in the SESAR Programme.
The A6+ partners participate in 68 of the 80 ATM-solution projects, leading 30 of them. Furthermore, the A6+ partners hold an active role in transversal activities including the Masterplan and in Very Large Scale Demonstrations.
Since the launch of SESAR 1, members of the A6 Alliance have achieved significant results together with other SJU partners (development of 63 successfully completed SESAR solutions).
LSSIP Year 2018 Austria 34 Released Issue
The members of the A6 Alliance control more than 80 % of EU air traffic. They are responsible for more than 70 % of the investment in the future air traffic management infrastructure.
Areas of Austro Control’s involvement in 2018:
a) preparation of positions regarding operational/technical, policy and legal regulations proposals prepared or led by the EU institutions/bodies together with other partners (Airspace Architecture Study, Wise Persons Group, RP3, CEF funding, PCP Review, etc.);
b) participation in the SESAR Joint Undertaking (mainly focusing on a successful closing of Wave 1 and preparing the call for Wave 2 of SESAR 2020 Programme), SESAR Deployment Manager and initiatives/projects financed by INEA (SWIM, DLS, etc.);
c) A6 activities: develop proposals for improvement of the ATM system in Europe and drive their implementation (e.g. SESAR Digital Backbone).
South East Europe Common Sky Initiative (SECSI FRA)
Following the successful implementation of the SAXFRA (Slovenian Austrian Cross-border Free Route Airspace) and SEAFRA (South-East Axis Free Route Airspace - project of three ANSPs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro) initiatives in 2016, both initiatives have been in 2017 merged into the South East Europe Common Sky Initiative (SECSI FRA) creating a large cross-border FRA block including Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Slovenia.
The SECSI FRA went operational on the 1st of February2018 offering airspace users significant benefits along the South East Axis, by delivering the shortest route options from Central Europe to South Eastern Europe. The benefits gained through the SECSI FRA are substantial. Based on the shortest route assignment potential savings per day are up to 1.940 NM in flight distance, 285 minutes in flight time, a reduction in fuel consumption of 8,000 kg and a reduction in CO2 emissions of 25.500 kg.
The SECSI FRA will make more options available when determining the user-preferred trajectory. Full cross-border FRA allows airlines to take better advantage of wind or adapt to network disruptions. The better use of FRA options at flight planning level improve predictability and reduce ATC workload. This initiative not only works towards achieving the goals of the European Commission regarding the implementation of “Free Route” across Europe but also fulfils airspace user´s requests for having multiple route options available for the same city-pair.
South East Europe Night Free Route Airspace (SEEN FRA)
On the 30th March 2017, the DANUBE FAB (Romania and Bulgaria) and Hungary introduced SEEN FRA by bridging the airspace between the two Functional Airspace Blocks of the DANUBE FAB and FAB CE during the time period 2300-0500 (2200 - 0400) UTC. At the end of 2018, the initiative was expanded by the airspace of Slovakia. From the 6th December 2018, aircraft operators are thus able to plan their flights freely across the airspace of four States covering parts of two FABs without having to take into account the limitations imposed by geographical borders. The new flight planning rules significantly optimize flight trajectories to provide the shortest possible connections and the most effective routings when changes to the flight plan – to avoid adverse weather, for example – are required. According to simulations of the airspace change the synergistic effect of all improvements could reduce trajectories by a daily average of 3.200 NM, which equates to 15 tonnes of fuel and 49 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Further improvements to Central and South-Eastern European airspace configurations will take place in 2019. From April 2019, 24-hour FRA will be implemented within Slovakian airspace and during summer 2019 LPS SR will consider extending SEEN FRA availability for longer periods of the day. From 7 November 2019 the three countries initiating the SEEN FRA programme (Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania) will extend the availability of cross-border FRA operations across the entire day with the introduction of the South East Europe Free Route Airspace (SEE FRA) project.

In fulfilment of the FABCE FRA Roadmap, the first implementation of Free Route Airspace in conjunction with a FRA cross border application has been achieved between Slovenia and Austria as of 10th of November 2016 (‘SAXFRA’). The SAXFRA area of application is available H24 and is not constrained by FIR or State boundaries. The SAXFRA area will consist of those areas where the following units provide ATS: ACCs Wien (except BUDEX Area) and Ljubljana, APP units Wien, Graz, Innsbruck (East of Rocky line), Klagenfurt, Linz, Salzburg (except Königssee Area), Ljubljana, Maribor and Portoroz (see attached map). ATS Routes within SAXFRA have been permanently withdrawn except for: - ATS routes within areas of responsibility of APP Maribor and Portoroz to provide ATS without the use of ATS surveillance equipment. - A set of ATS routes within FIR Wien below 9500FT AMSL for NON RNAV equipped flights. Further Cross Border FRA initiatives are conceived: The subsequent FRA enhancement will be implemented as of 1st of February 2018, denominated as SECSI FRA (South East Common Sky Initiative), combining the SAXFRA and SEAFRA initiative. Thus, the airspace of Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia will form a Free Route Airspace from GND/FL205 up to the upper state border / FL660.

A pattern for a formal arrangement (ADQ Compliance checklist) has been developed and issued by Austro Control, and was consequently approved by NSA. Most of the formal arrangements have been already signed, out of them all 6 international Airports and several Austro Control internal originators and a few obstacle originators (surveyors) Today not all parties, referred to in ADQ Article 2(2b) and Article 2(2c) have signed the formal arrangement yet. The national legal framework for the origination of aeronautical data according to the ADQ regulation is published, including the need of having a signed formal arrangement with Austro Control in order to supply aeronautical data in compliance with the ADQ regulation. Due to the high amount of ADQ affected obstacle originators in Austria, the implementation date is dependent on the full implementation of the Austrian eTOD project according to ESSIP INF07 with its final milestone on 30/06/2019. Airport Vienna: Documentation related to certification has been officially provided to the NSA and access authorisations have been provided accordingly.

Integrated Arrival and Departure
management aims at increasing
throughput and predictability at an
airport by improved co-ordination
between En Route/Approach and
Tower controllers. Arrival and
Departure flows to the same
runway (or for dependent runways)
are integrated by setting up fixed
arrival departure pattern for
defined periods. The successive
pattern might be chosen by the
operators or provided by an
optimization algorithm considering
arrival and departure demand.

Precision
approaches
using GBAS
Category II/III
This SESAR Solution aims at
improving Low Visibility Operation
using GBAS Cat II/III based on GPS
L1
The main benefit is the increased
runway capacity in poor weather
conditions as the glide path and
azimuth signals will face hardly any
interference from previous landing
aircraft or other obstacles. More
sustained accuracy in aircraft
guidance on final approach.
The GBAS is a precision approach
system relying on GNSS signals and
composed of ground and airborne
segments. GBAS supports
enhanced level of service for all
phases of approach, landing and
departure.
GBAS CATII/III GPS L1 is the
outcome of the extensive work in
SESAR WP9 and 15 in addition to
project 6.8.5 involving main
European ground systems
manufacturers and airborne
industry. The solution is based on
the existing single frequency GPS L1
signals and is considered as an
initial GBAS CAT II/III solution as the
final solution should make use of
multi-constellation multi-
frequency signals.
The GBAS CATII/III L1 system should
enable
- Automatic Approach and Landing
down to Cat IIIb minima for
Mainline Aircraft
- Automatic roll-out, DH < 50 ft
down to no DH & RVR between
50m and 200m

De-icing
management
tool
The solution increases the accuracy
of information related to when the
procedure is going to take place,
how long it will take and when the
aircraft will be ready to taxi for
departure, which is currently
calculated by predetermined
estimates. The solution means that
air traffic controllers no longer
need to work without situational
awareness of de-icing activities and
needing to make their own
estimates of when aircraft are
ready for departure. The solution
envisages that de-icing operations
are no longer characterised by the
A-CDM concept as ‘adverse
conditions’, i.e. a state that is in
need of collaborative recovery
procedures, but rather a part of
normal operations in the winter
period.
The DIMT allows for the scheduling
and monitoring of de-icing
operations. It is an internet
browser-based tool that addresses
three distinct procedures for de-
icing:
- Remote de-icing, which occurs at
a specific location on the airport
away from the parking stand;
- On-stand de-icing, which occurs
just before the aircraft leaves its
stand; and
- After-push de-icing, which occurs
after the aircraft has pushed back
from the stand and is positioned to
start taxiing after de-icing.

environments
The CTA (Controlled Time of Arrival)
is an ATM imposed time constraint
on a defined point associated with
an arrival runway, using airborne
capabilities to improve arrival
management. When a time
constraint is needed for a flight, the
ground system may calculate a CTA
as part of the arrival management
process, and then it may be
proposed to the flight for
achievement by avionics within
required accuracy. Airborne
information may be used by the
ground system in determining the
CTA (e.g. ETA min/max) and in
monitoring the implementation of
the CTA.

The system provides support to
coordination of traffic flows into
multiple airports to enable a
smooth delivery to the runways.
The 'Center Manager' (CMAN)
which accompanies the AMANs of
the airports generates a combined
planning for several arrival streams
into different airports by
calculating the sequence of aircraft
flying towards an area where their
routes intersect. By imposing an
adequate spacing of the aircraft in
that area, a Time To Lose (TTL) for
the appropriate upstream E-TMA
sector is calculated to meet this
constraint. Both AMAN-TTL for the
runway and TTL for the E-TMA

Composite
Surveillance
ADS-B / WAM
By allowing the use of ADS-B data
that has been validated against
data derived in parallel by a WAM
system, the system can help to
reduce the number of
interrogations and number of
replies and therefore reduce the
1030/1090 MHz RF load and
improve spectrum efficiency. It
achieves this through the
integration of validated data items
into the WAM channel, thereby
preventing a need to re-interrogate
the data item.
Since the two surveillance layers
share hardware components, the
system offers improved cost
efficiency. Furthermore, the use of
the system contributes to an
improved security by successfully
mitigating associated ADS-B
threats.
