ESSIP Objective Implementation
The analysis of the progress of ESSIP implementation objectives reveals a clear trend of medium-term planning (15 objectives), which is detailed below:
2014: AOM13.1, AOM21, ATC02.5, COM09,
2015: AOP04.2, ATC02.6, ATC02.7, ATC16, FCM03, NAV10, ATC07.1, ATC15
2016: ATC12
2017: ATC17
2020: COM11
Despite of this medium-term planning which ensures ongoing activities, there are 11 “Late” ESSIP objectives:
AOP04.1: SMGCS-1 implementation is completed at Madrid Barajas airport, but the planning is late in Barcelona and Palma Airports.
AOP05: There are some delays in the planning of CDM at Palma de Mallorca Airport. However, Madrid Barajas Airport is facing the testing and implementation face. Barcelona Airport is carrying out the implementation as scheduled.
ATC02.2: The planning scheduled for all the stakeholders involved is “late”.
INF04: The status of this objective has been reassessed taken into account the fulfillment of the finalization criteria.
ITY-FMTP: The late status corresponds to the delayed planning in ANSP and MIL stakeholders.
NAV03: The initial plan is being reviewed.
SAF10: The full implementation of this objective is only pending on certain actions from REG.
ITY-AGDL: Due to the delay in the fulfillment of the 29/2009 IR, the planning has been deeply analysed and consequently it has been recently updated.
ITY- ADQ: The late status is due to some delays in the implementation of intermediated SLoAs. However, the full implementation has been scheduled according to the 73/2010 Regulation.
ITY-COTR: The current planning dates for Logon Forward and Next Authority Notified processes go beyond the FOC established.
ITY-SPI: Although there are intermediate delays, it is not foreseen they impact on the compliance of the Regulation (EU) No 1207/2011.
Furthermore, 2 ESSIP objectives have been assessed as Completed (ENV02 and AOM20), 2 as Partially Completed (AOM19 and SAF11), and the status for FCM03 has been changed from Completed to Partially Completed, as the schedule for testing with the Network Manager is not planned yet.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a five-year plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2013 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2013.
The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:
Chapters 1 to 5 present the key players in the State, and set the institutional and geographical scenes to help the reader understand the specifics of the State and interpret the rest of the document correctly. It also presents a short description of the main national and regional projects in which the national Stakeholders are involved.
Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP 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.
Note: Chapter 6 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 ESSIP 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 ESSIP.

1.1 Geographical Scope
1.1.1 International Membership
Spain is a Member of the following international organisations in the field of ATM:
Organisation Since
ECAC 1955
(Founding Member)
EUROCONTROL 1997
European Union 1986
European Common Aviation Area 2006
EASA 2003
ICAO 1951
JAA 1990
NATO 1982
1.1.2 Geographical description of the FIR(s)
Spanish airspace is split in two regions (Peninsula and Canarias) separated mainly by the airspace controlled by the ACCs of Lisboa and Casablanca (see figure below).
Surrounding the airspace of Spain, there are 10 FIRs controlled by 7 States (namely France (Brest, Bordeaux and Marseille) , United Kingdom (Shanwick), Portugal (Lisboa and Santa Maria), Morocco (Casablanca), Algeria (Alger), Cape Verde (La Sal) and Senegal (Dakar)) belonging to three ICAO regions, which makes this area a transition either to Africa or South America. This fact constitutes an important fact for the development of air transport as some capacity limitations still exist.
Spain is consolidating its presence in the South Atlantic corridor through the participation in cooperation programmes for the enhancement of CNS/ATM, thus increasing the capacity in this important area. Examples of this strategy are the extension of voice and radar communications networks using satellites (CAFSAT project) and the implementation of Navigation satellite systems (EDISA / SACSA).
The geographical scope of this document addresses the three Spain FIR(s):
• FIR/UIR Madrid,
• FIR/UIR Barcelona
• and FIR/UIR Canary Islands.
In turn, the Madrid FIR/UIR includes the airspace delegated to Seville, south of parallel 39º North. Within each FIR, the airspace in which the airways converge close to one or more airports is called Terminal Areas (TMA). In the Spanish airspace there are 12 TMAs.
The Division Flight Level (DFL) separating upper from lower ATS airspace is FL245.

1.2.5 Accident/incident Investigation Body
1.2.5.1 Technical investigations
Technical investigations following accidents and/or serious incidents are carried out by the Civil Accident and Incident Investigation Commission (CIAIAC) in Spain. This body performs its functions independently from the Civil Aviation Authority (AESA) and the regulator (DGAC) in compliance with Regulation (UE) Nº 996/2010 and Spanish Air Safety Act 21/2003. CIAIAC reports to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport Undersecretariat and to the Parliament.
CIAIAC publishes the results of the safety investigations and statistics (including annual reports) through the following web site:
http://www.fomento.es/MFOM/LANG_CASTELLANO/DIRECCIONES_GENERALES/ORGANOS_COLEGIADOS/CIAIAC/.
CEANITA is a collegiate body, currently attached to DESATI (Directorate for Safety Risk Analysis and Quality Management of AESA) with advisory functions and cooperation with civil and military aviation authorities aimed at increasing the safety of air navigation and prevent air traffic incidents (Ministerial Order PRE/697/2012 Order of 2 April). CEANITA is an inter-ministerial body (Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Defence) whose functions are to analyse air traffic incidents notified through the Occurrence Reporting System (SNS) and to directly advise aviation authorities. CEANITA/SNS perform their functions without interfering with CIAIAC activities.
The different responsibilities are defined in the table below:
Type of occurrence Body
Accidents CIAIAC
Serious incidents (all kinds, serious ATS incidents included) CIAIAC
Accidents involving civil and military aircraft CIAIAC/CITAAM
ATS incidents involving both civil and military aircrafts/ATS units (not Accidents nor Serious incidents)
CEANITA
Other ATM related occurrences SNS (Occurrences Reporting
System)
1.2.5.2 Collection, Evaluation & Processing of Safety Data
AESA performs the collection, evaluation, process and storing of all information related to occurrences, . AESA submits this information to the European Central Repository according to Directive 2003/42/EC and regulation CE 1321/07. With regards to the accidents and serious incidents investigated by CIAIAC, they are stored in the SNS (ORS) National Data Base as required by the Commission Directive 2003/42/EC and eventually in the European Central Repository. In order to carry out this function AESA uses ECCAIRS compatible databases.
Additionally to ECCAIRS, the ATS incidents are also registered in a database sponsored by EUROCONTROL named Tokai.
1.2.5.3 Civil-Military Accidents/Incidents
The CITAAM (Military Aviation Accidents Technical Investigation Commission) reports directly to the Minister of Defence and is responsible of any accident involving military service provision or military users. CITAAM and CIAIAC have subscribed a collaborative agreement for civil and military accidents or serious incidents investigations.
CITAAM or designated body by Minister of Defence or CAS, in collaboration with CIAIAC can investigate accidents/serious incidents of civil aircraft which involve Military ANSP in Bases open to civil traffic and joint civil-military aerodromes.
CEANITA is not only responsible for the study of civil air traffic incidents but also for those air traffic incidents in which a military aircraft or ATS unit is involved, with, prior authorization of the Spanish Air Force.

Additional information
If the cost efficiency targets are finally fixed with the present values, recruitment of additional controllers could be frozen. In this scenario availability of ATCOs would be reduced from 2015 as a result of retirements and lack of recruitment. Due to the foreseen ATCO shortage, number of sectors available in Barcelona ACC could be reduced from 2017 and for the rest of the planning period. In addition, in this scenario, the limited resources could impact the planned measures for the period, and their potential benefits.

Due to the foreseen ATCO shortage, number of sectors available in Canarias ACC could be reduced from 2017 and for the rest of the planning period. In addition, in this scenario, the limited resources could impact the planned measures for the period, and their potential benefits.

Recommendations issued from the ESSIP Report for 2012 applicable to Spain are presented below along with the corrective actions taken, where applicable.
Number Recommendation Applicable to
Overall 2012 Implementation Progress
REC-2012-03 To ensure that all Stakeholders report the expected completion dates as defined in their National business plans.
All States
Spanish Air Navigation Service Provider (Aena) checks the expected completion dates of ESSIP objectives reported in LSSIP with the information contained in the Aena Air Navigation Strategic Plan (2014-2018 ) and the specific actions planned in the annual plan (2014). In order to ease the internal coordination work, an Internal Projects Management Office has been set up in 2014 which provide input for both processes (ANSP Strategic and Annual plans and LSSIP).
REC-2012-05 To ensure correct application of LSSIP guidance material and to implement the results of mandatory LSSIP in-cycle check.
All States
LSSIP guidance material is distributed to Spanish LSSIP contact persons in each stakeholder (Aena Air Navigation, Aena Airports, AESA, DGAC and Air Force). In addition EUROCONTROL Contact Person is fully available to solve any question that may arise about guidelines application during LSSIP production cycle.
REC-2012-06 To ensure completeness of information reported in LSSIP 2013. CH, DE, DK, ES, MT,
NL, NO, SI
The information reported in the Spanish LSSIP is checked through several revision phases during the LSSIP production timeframe. This information is incrementally improved and its completeness assured as far as the stakeholders internal planning level of detail may provide.
REC-2012-08/09
Airport authorities and ANSPs to ensure appropriate efforts to implement all related actions in ESSIP objective AOP05, particularly stakeholder lines of action ASP04 and ASP05, and APO05 and APO06 in coordination with the Network Manager.
EKCH, LFLL, LGKR, LGTS, LHBP, EIDW, LPPT, LEBL, LEPA, ESSB, LTAI, EGGW.
Aena Airports and Aena Air Navigation have reinforced their coordination in order to plan jointly the implementation of A-CDM in the main Spanish Airports (i.e.: Madrid, Barcelona and Palma). As a result of these efforts the implementation of A-CDM is planned by end 2015 in Barcelona and Palma. In case of Madrid airport is currently in the process of testing and implementation. The project in Madrid extends until end 2014 to cover the implementation of procedures in adverse conditions
REC-2012-12 States should ensure that Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 will be implemented on time as appropriate (ESSIP Objective ITY-AGDL).
AT, ES, FR, IT
LSSIP Year 2013 Spain 37 Released Issue
3.1 The ATS service provider affected by Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009, Aena, has been making a significant effort in terms of both network upgrade communications ground/ground and ground/air, as in the development and validation of new SACTA features in order to carry out the actions and investments needed to meet the requirements in the Regulation and ensure their implementation in the shortest possible time.
3.2 To this end, it is important to highlight that the implementation of Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009 is highly complex due to its great impact, not only in the field of communications systems and automation, but also in the area of operations and human factors, requiring their implementing a sequential deployment of functionalities in consecutive phases that enables the gradual availability (Pre-Data Link, Data Link FANS and Full Data Link) of the services concerned and that allow to accommodate the current mode to the new concepts of interaction and dependence with ATM systems requiring data link functionality.
3.3 Therefore, the action plan for compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009 has been raised in stages, many of them already done which will allow converging efficiently and safely to the ultimate goal of full implantation.
3.4 It is very important to reflect the substantial progress made by Aena in the gradual implementation of the necessary actions to converge in full compliance with Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009, having already successfully completed the deployment of a large part of the required functionalities and systems, with the following prominent landmarks:
From the Agreement signed in December 2002 with SITA, Aena proactively took the initiative to provide data link service in order to have the needed Ground/Air infrastructure for the mentioned service provision through VDL Mode 2 and ACARS technologies. This agreement allowed the deployment of a series of digital VHF data communications ground stations (stations VGS - 'VHF Ground Station') in 25 Spanish airports.
3.5 Therefore, in this way, Aena already has a network of VGS stations satisfying the Ground/Air communications requirements specified in the Regulations.
Aena promoted and successfully ended the deployment of a test environment to simulate and test the Ground/Ground infrastructure necessary for the provision of ATC services via Data Link Infrastructure. The success of this action demonstrated the exchange of messages via data link using Ground/Ground communications infrastructure and Ground/Air infrastructure (VDL Mode 2 stations referred to above).
As part of the actions already taken by Aena under the framework of the data link service, oceanic FANS-1/A services are already being provided (CPDLC and ADS-C functionality) through SACCAN system in the UIR Canaries and D-ATIS/D-VOLMET information service in different airports.
As part of the ongoing actions and already completed, Aena has finished the installation of the necessary Ground/Ground communications infrastructure (Datalink Front-End Processor and ATN Router) at the dependencies of the Centralized Systems of Madrid-Torrejón. This Ground/Ground infrastructure is the one that complements the Ground/Air infrastructure (VGS stations) already deployed, having concluded another essential phase to fulfill the objectives of the Regulation.
As it has been mentioned above, Aena, as part of the communication data link implementation phases, conceives as essential the CF2 functionality (Pre-Data Link) implantation in the SACTA, functionality already deployed in the Canary Islands Region. CF2 allows to gradually arrange the incorporation of a new mode of operation.
3.6 The document "Plan de Cumplimiento del Reglamento (CE) 29/2009 (requisitos relativos a los servicios de enlace de datos)" elaborated by Aena details the steps taken in order to ensure that these services are available to aircraft operators, indicating the date for the beginning of the provision thereof.
3.7 The document includes both the necessary actions of a technical nature such as relevant scheduling actions including training, publication aspects, safety issues and operational topics, required for validation and the end service availability.
3.8 It should be further noted to bring the context in which it has been produced the delay in the implementation, the strong contraction of air traffic registered in our country in all FIR's and particularly important in Madrid UIR so that the urgency of service availability is questionable in such circumstances from a capacity point of view and taking into account the important process of adaptation undertaken by the air navigation service provider, Aena, to reduce costs in the provision of services before and during the first reference period (RP 1), efforts recognized by the European Commission and by the airspace users.
3.9 Finally note that, analogously as it has done in recent years, the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) will ensure that all the provisions contained therein are met without additional delays.
Military SLoAs are related to military State aircraft. Status is "Completed" (according to Eurocontrol criteria of considering “Completed” when not all of the points of one ESSIP Objective is going to be implemented by military partners)

REC-2012-14 ANSP’s to speed up the implementation activities in order to avoid implementation delays and non-compliances with the obligations specified in Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 (ESSIP objective ITY-AGDL).
AT, ES, FR, IT
Aena has planned the implementation of Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009 by the end 2016. This planning, that made explicit the delay in the fulfilment of the Regulation, has been openly reported since LSSIP 2012. Interim Deployment Steering Group forum has been provided with specific monitoring details as part of the Interim Deployment Programme (IDP) monitoring cycles.
In order to grant these planned implementation dates, some technical add-on activities to the Regulation (EC) Nº 29/2009 have obtained TEN-T financing in the multiannual 2012 TEN-T call (included in the joint ANSP TEN-T bid for the IDP execution).
The aim of the Implementing Rule is the deployment of ATN based datalink services, but that objective cannot be met in the whole Canarias air space due to technological limitations. A large part of that air space is oceanic and is hence out of the VDL mode 2 radio coverage. For that reason it is impossible to provide Data Link services there according to the AGDL Regulation. This is the reason why AENA proposed for financing the update of the ATC system (SACTA) in order to implement FANS 1/A. Moreover, as the Spanish ATC system, SACTA, is a single system deployed in all ATC Centers, this feature might be ready for operational use, if needed, in any Spanish airspace and would permit non ATN aircraft make use of the Data Link services provided. Those facts would permit the enhancement of the operational use of datalink services, both regarding the geographical coverage and the number of potential users.

FAB View
REC-2012-41 To update the FABs plans and establish a more appropriate roadmap to improve the current lack of coordination and ensure a common response to deployment needs.
FAB States
The process for the formal constitution of the SW FAB carries on.
The ‘Agreement between the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Spain on the establishment of the South West Functional Airspace Block (SW FAB)’ was signed by the Ministers of Transport of Spain and Portugal on 17th May 2013 and will enter into force thirty days after the reception of the latter of the notifications conveying the completion of the internal State procedures for its final approval. It is expected that it will officially enter into force by early January 2014.
Once the SW FAB State Agreement is formally approved, this agreement and the formal establishment of the SW FAB shall be notified to the Commission under Article 9 (a)(7) of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004.
Notwithstanding the legal procedure to approve the State Agreement, the technical and operational tasks at FAB level are in progress. The SW FAB Operational Board (OB) has elaborated an SW FAB OB Common Plan comprising 2014-2020 timeframe and built around three main lines of action or areas of work including projects covering improvements in the operational and technical fields while converging with the European planning framework.
The SW FAB OB Common Plan has been submitted to the European Commission on 21st November 2013 and it has been co-ordinately drawn up among SW FAB partners ensuring both a common and coordinated response so as to deploy operational and technical improvements.
REC-2012-42 The ANSPs should coordinate system deployment (including system upgrades) and capabilities implementation plans with FAB partner first, and then follow on with coordination to adjacent FABs and ANSPs.
FAB States
As mentioned in REC-2012-41, SW FAB OB Common Plan is built around three main action areas aiming at making optimal use of operational and technical resources, being infrastructure and TMA harmonization two projects included in them.
With regard to the operational field, the SW FAB OB Common Plan includes in particular three projects aiming to make Free route operations available in the SW FAB airspace as an extension of the Free route already implemented in the SW FAB West Operational Airspace Block, before the develop of FAB concept, in order to harmonise SW FAB Airspace. Besides, the SW FAB is working with DSNA, included in FABEC, in order to extend Free route operations to Brest FIR.
With regard to the technical field, the SW FAB OB Common Plan includes in particular a project to co-ordinately implement Datalink services and a project to implement an AMHS link between Spain and Portugal.
In addition to the above, the current plan includes an activity towards the enhancement and standardisation degree of interaction between Spain and Portugal adjacent centre FDP systems for en-route and approach control and new actions to improve the sharing of CNS services between the different AEFMP countries (that have already been formally approved in the context of the AEFMP).
Summarising the SW FAB OB Common Plan include not only projects to co-ordinately deploy and upgrade systems and capabilities but both projects to harmonise systems and capabilities not already in use in all SW FAB airspace and projects to extend them to collateral FABs (FABEC) and third neighbouring countries (AEFMP).
REC-2012-43 Ongoing work to harmonise reporting culture between States in the FAB should be continued to ensure alignment of reporting principles.
FAB States
As mentioned in REC-2012-41, SW FAB OB Common Plan also includes converging with the European planning framework. Within this activity, the OB has already planned the civil/military ANSPs coordinated contribution to the content of Spanish and Portuguese LSSIPs in order to maximize the agreed common reporting (from LSSIP 2013 onwards) of identified FAB dimension ESSIP objectives among ANSPs.
In addition the representation and the preparation of the SW FAB civil ANSPs positions for the participation in the Interim Deployment Steering Group to contribute to the elaboration and monitoring of the Interim Deployment Programme (IDP) is jointly coordinated between the SW FAB civil ANSPs, Aena and NAV Portugal.

Regional Co-ordination Chapter 5 -
5.1 FAB Co-ordination
The joint collaboration towards the establishment of a Functional Airspace Block (FAB) in the South West region of Europe was initially promoted by the Portuguese and Spanish ANSPs, respectively NAV Portugal and Aena. The initiative was launched building upon historical collaboration between both organisations (e.g. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on May 16th, 2001 by NAV Portugal and Aena) and with the main aim of achieving an optimised ANS provision in the South West of Europe, in accordance with the requirements established in Regulations (EC) No 549/2004 (the Framework Regulation), No 550/2004 (the service provision Regulation) and No 551/2004 (the airspace Regulation).
Eventually, the process for the formal constitution of the SW FAB concluded with the signature by the Ministers of Transport of Spain and Portugal on 17th May 2013 of the ‘Agreement between the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Spain on the establishment of the South West Functional Airspace Block (SW FAB)’ on the basis of an enhanced cooperation between air navigation service providers and under the herein under governance structure:

Joint AEFMP Plan
AEFMP was set up by Algeria, Spain, France, Morocco and Portugal in 1996 so as to harmonize and optimize the air navigation operations among the five countries. It aims at promoting the establishment of common regional convergence objectives in order to achieve a high operational efficiency in the rendered services. To this regard, a Joint AEFMP Plan was signed by the Civil Aviation Authorities and by the Air Navigation Service Providers in 2002.
The AEFMP is then particularly focused on the harmonization of procedures, the improvement of interoperability and the management of implementation of new systems. Accordingly, the main AEFMP objectives are:
- Harmonise the provision of the Air Traffic Services among the five countries,
- Optimise the provision and use of the surveillance function,
- Optimise the provision and the use of the radio coverage,
- Improve the voice communications between adjacent ATC units,
- Make Air traffic Management (ATM) communications more efficient and expand the exchange of data among systems,
- Harmonise the development and implementation of the various technical components of Air Traffic Control (ATC),
- Improve Air Traffic management (ATM) by optimizing airspace design and defining common procedures.
The AEFMP uses the RCIP (Regional Convergence and Implementation Plan) as tool for planning and monitoring the activities contributing to the achievement of these objectives. It provides a guide to the implementation process between Algeria, Spain, France, Morocco and Portugal and presents the harmonisation process evolution straightway and is coordinated through the following structure:

Technical: communications (voice: increase of cost efficiency, flexibility, availability of voice communications and improvement of radio coverage by sharing facilities and increase of availability and cost reduction in communications through AEFMP TDM network; data: Increase of safety and efficiency of ATS through implementation of OLDI links enabling reduction of verbal coordination and improvement of security and availability of Aeronautical Messaging Network through the implementation of new and secured links (AFTN/CIDIN/AMHS); ANS/Telecom: identification of quality concerns of telecommunication circuits between countries and agreement on coordinated action to cater for them and elimination of single points of failure in the AEFMP leased lines network) and surveillance (accommodation of standards and technology developments and increase safety and efficiency of ATS through radar data exchange) Operational: airspace (regional design and implementation of airspace and aeronautical route network enhancing ATS safety and efficiency through early coordination of airspace structure and resectorisation); working methods (Increase of capacity by reducing radar separation minima and implementing RVSM. E.g. successful RSVM implantation in Morocco and Algeria, smooth and easy operational implementation of RVSM within the AEFMP area and sharing of experience on working methods and human resources); system support (efficient use of existing technical means and identification of operational requirements for future evolution at regional level); ATFM (Interchange of information and global awareness of ATFM situation in the area) and safety (Experience sharing on safety matters and the establishment of a contact list to enable cross border safety events analyses.)
Institutional: facilitation of both the development of FABs through inter-FAB collaboration as well as the extension of the SES initiative to third countries. Platform for the exchange of best practices at a regional level where the cooperation is an essential element of the optimisation of the network as a whole. Platform to develop the partnership between the EU and third countries, facilitating the jointly participation in initiatives such as the EUROMED Aviation Project.

iTEC-eFDP
In order to achieve a homogeneous Air Traffic Management (ATM) system in Europe, Aena, with other European partners, has participated for several years in Eurocontrol debates on related topics. A common handling of the flight data exchanged between ANSPs’ Air Traffic Control systems could greatly improve the European–wide homogeneity and interoperability, distributing the development costs amongst the member states.
In this context Aena joined the eFDP project in 1999, together with its partners (NATS-UK, STNA-France, ENAV-Italy and UAC-Maastricht) and co-ordinated by Eurocontrol. eFDP initiated the setting–up of some specifications on flight plan processing within the air traffic control system. This common flight plan processing system should have entered into operation within the first five years of the 21st century. However this project finally disappeared in 2000.
The iTEC-eFDP flight data processing system, offshoot from the eFDP, is the result of co-operation between Aena, the German DFS and NATS. In a first stage the three Service providers defined the characteristics of the future system, based on the original concepts contained and the requirements that were developed previously in the in eFDP, through a joint Programme Office located in Madrid. Once the specification and system design phases have been completed, the next development phases and future deployments will be carried out separately but keeping a high commonality.
Following this approach and without Eurocontrol coverage, iTEC-eFDP has converged towards a common system based on the current flight plan processing systems from SACTA and the German VAFORIT; as a result of the achievements, the project has developed an open and interoperable flight data processing system that can be used by the different European ATM providers. With this regard it has to be highlighted that the iTEC partners expanded their collaboration with the incorporation of LVNL-The Netherlands to the group, and it has been opened a negotiation process with NAV Pt-Portugal.
Besides the above mentioned, ITEC-eFDP has defined co-operation mechanisms with the COFLIGHT project (equivalent to iTEC-eFDP between the service providers in France, Italy and Switzerland) called ICOG (Interoperability CO-operation Group).
Also, the iTEC project is evolving for playing a key role in SJU programme, by creating a common Industry Based Platform for addressing Validation activities, and evolving its functionality for coping with SESAR new concepts.
A6 consortium
The “A6 Group” was set up informally in 2007 between the ANSPs interested in accessing the SJU membership, i.e.:
-AENA, the Spanish ANSP;
-DFS, the German ANSP;
-DSNA, the French ANSP;
-ENAV, the Italian ANSP;
-NATS, the British ANSP;
-Noracon, the NORth European and Austrian CONsortium, which consists of nine members: Swedavia (Swedish airports) and eight European ANS providers: Austro Control (Austria) and the North European ANS Providers (NEAP) including AVINOR (Norway), EANS (Estonia), Finavia (Finland), IAA (Ireland), ISAVIA (Iceland), LFV (Sweden) and Naviair (Denmark).
Thus, the A6 group involves ANSPs from 7 different FABs out of 9.
After a successful cooperation for the accession to the SJU membership, it was decided to formalise the A6 Group through a Memorandum of Cooperation concluded in June 2011.
The aim of the cooperation and coordination between the 6 parties is to provide customer value through improving the ATM performance at European Network Level and increasing the pace of the Single European Sky. The main areas of cooperation are related to general fields of mutual interest (best practices, harmonised strategy…), the SESAR R&D phase and SESAR deployment phase.
LSSIP Year 2013 Spain 51 Released Issue
The governance of the A6 Group is ensured by a Steering Board composed of CEOs. The Steering Board meets on a quarterly basis and it is supported by a Strategic Board composed of senior managers. A R&D Working Group and a Deployment Working Group were set up to organise the cooperation at expert level.
The A6 Group has very quickly become an important player and a key stakeholder of the Single European Sky. The A6 has made very significant contributions to the SESAR JU in a number of areas, such as the ATM Master Plan update.
A6 consortium leads European-wide technical activities validated and cofunded by the EC for their consistency with SES framework: ANSPs coordination for IDSG (CFP Ten-T 2011, 3,6 M€, cofunded 50%), ANSPs coordination for IDP (CFP Ten-T 2012, 233,9 M€, cofunded 20%) and Advanced FDP (CFP Ten-T 2012, 13,3 M€, cofunded 50%)
The A6 has also developed a strong relationship with the A4 (Airlines), the airports and the manufacturing industry, thus laying the groundwork for a robust and strict coordination and cooperation in the view of the upcoming SESAR deployment.
