Executive Summary

State Context

Romania is a EU Member State since the 1st January 2007 and a NATO Member State since the 29th March 2004.

The Romanian airspace plays a significant role in the European transportation network of the South-East

Europe (SEE), region which acts as a bridge between North, South, East and West Europe. While air traffic has been steadily increasing, forecasts predict further higher traffic demand driven by the economic growth in the region, by the on-going political changes (the EU political enlargement process, the emergence of new areas of cooperation and commitment – ECAA, the European Common Aviation Area

Multilateral Agreement, ratified by Romania through Law no.328/22.11.2007 published in the Official Journal of Romania Part 1 no.48/22.01.2008) as well as by the traditional European tourism and business travellers.

The separation between the regulatory and the ATM service provider functions is effectively in place in Romania since many years now.

The target operational concept established by the Government Decree no. 536/2000, aiming at further reducing the en-route physical locations to a single one in Bucharest, has been finalised in 2012. As a consequence starting 18th October 2012 ROMATSA operates the en-route control from the facilities of Bucuresti ACC which is located in Bucharest. Also, a new APP unit has been implemented in Arad at the same date.

ESSIP Objective Implementation

As presented in the summarizing table below, part of the objectives are completed, some are partially completed and some are late. It should be noted that the "late" status of one objective (AOP04.1) is due to the fact that Romania joined later the applicability area of this airport related objective.

No special difficulties were encountered in the implementation of the objectives during the reporting period.

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 sets 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.

Bucuresti FIR (14 November 2013)


1.1.3 Airspace Classification and Organisation

ICAO airspace classification is applied within Bucuresti FIR.

In compliance with the EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A), the current status of the Airspace classification is:

1. Between FL 105 and FL 660 - ICAO Class C airspace, according to EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A) requirements. This classification is applicable since Nov. 2003 through joint MoT- MoD order no 693 – M173/ 2003, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 165/ 2004.

2. Below FL 105

The ICAO airspace classification of Class C airspace below FL 105 is implemented in Romania by joint MoT – MoD Order 53/ 22.01.07 and M20/ 30.01.07, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 107/13.02.2007.

1.1.4 Free Route Airspace

In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 within Bucuresti FIR has been implemented the Night Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept.

A consultation coordinated by ICAO EUR/NAT Office has been also successfully made at States level, in accordance with the provisions of Annex 11, paragraph 2.2.2 and the established procedure for the amendment of the European Air Navigation Plan.

General principles of Free Route Airspace operations:

a. Horizontal and vertical limits of the implementation area: - The Free Route Airspace Concept encompasses the horizontal boundaries of Bucuresti FIR

in their full extent, as published in AIP Romania, ENR 2.1. The vertical limits of FRA Concept application are from FL105 to FL660.

b. Class of airspace

- FRA has been implemented in Class C airspace, with the exception of TMA areas and CTR.

c. FRA Operating hours - Free Route Airspace is available from 2300 to 0400 UTC during the winter time period and

from 2200 to 0300 UTC during the summer time period.

d. Planning aspects - During the Free Route Airspace operating hours eligible flights may plan inserting DCT

between IFR significant points and en-route radio navigation aids published in AIP Romania, subsections ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1, without reference to the published ATS route network. Also, the ATS fixed route network remains available during FRA operating hours.

- Insertion in the flight plan of DCT across the Bucuresti FIR boundaries (cross-border) are not allowed.

- The access from/ to TMA / CTR areas are effected using the fixed ATS route network, using dedicated connection points published in AIP România.

e. Reference materials within the national Aeronautical Information Publication: - IFR significant points and en-route radio navigation aids are published in AIP Romania,

subsections ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1.


Free Route Airspace (14 November 2013)

1.2 National Stakeholders

The main National Stakeholders involved in ATM in Romania are the following:

1. Ministry of Transport – Directorate General Air-Naval Transport (DGTAN) incorporating Directorate of Civil Aviation and Airspace (MoT - DCA)

2. Ministry of Transport – Aeronautical Security Unit within DCA (MoT - ASU)

3. Civil Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Centre (CIAS)

4. Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (RCAA as NSA for all matters, except security)

5. Ministry of National Defence

5.1 Air Force Staff

5.2 National Military Command Centre

5.3 Air Operations Centre

6. Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA)

7. AIS Department – “BIA” (certified AIS Provider within RCAA, functionally separated from the departments involved in NSA activities).

8. Romanian Airports

9. Airspace Users (National and International Air Carriers, other operators)

Their activities are detailed in the following subchapters and their relationships are shown in the diagram below.


In accordance with the provisions of HG 645/2013, since 1 January 2014 the NSA responsible for security matters from MoT was transferred to RCAA and concurrently the AIS provider from RCAA was transferred to ROMATSA, the national ANSP.

1.2.1 Civil Regulator(s)

1.2.1.1 General information

According to the basic civil aviation act (the Civil Air Code of Romania, issued in 1997 by Government Ordinance and approved by Parliament Law no. 130/2000, further modified by Law 399/2005), the regulatory responsibility for civil ATM (ATFM included) and ANS belongs to the state civil aeronautical authority, the Ministry of Transport (subsequently referred to as ‘MoT’). Art. 10 of the same law establishes the joint regulatory responsibility of MoT and MoD (the Ministry of National Defence) for all airspace organisation and management (ASM) matters. It should be noted in this context that all GAT is serviced exclusively by civil ANS Provider.

The different national entities having regulatory responsibilities in ATM are summarized in the table below. The Romanian CAA is further detailed in the following sections.

State Safety Programme was released. Specific procedures will be issued and afterwards the state safety levels will be set up taking into consideration the safety levels already established by the ANSP, taking into account the ECAC level overall safety minima of 1,55 x 10-8 accidents per flight/hour, set in RACR-ESARR 4.

Safety performance monitoring was performed during 2013 according to the applicable SES requirements (Regulation (UE) no. 1034/2011), and national regulation RACR-REAC transposing (EC) Directive 2003/42.

At national level, the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Centre shall publish each year a report containing the civil aviation occurrence information collected through the mandatory/voluntary reporting system with a view to informing the general public about the level of safety in civil aviation.

Twice per year, ROMATSA Safety Committee has to assess safety performance of ROMATSA based on reports issued by Safety and Quality Directorate.

The safety data have been collated and reported to EUROCONTROL in terms of yearly high level safety indicators, as provided in the Annual Safety Template (AST).

The main strategic action is to improve regular safety performance monitoring and analysis of incidents trends by:

Implementation of an Automated Safety Reporting System. The system will facilitate the process of reporting, investigation and dissemination by means of an intranet network using ECCAIRS software. The project (SMART Project) started in 2005 and it is still under development. ECCAIRS is also being used at the moment accordingly.

Implementation of an Automated Safety Monitoring Tool as a complementary system to the actual human reporting system.

1.2.1.2 MoT – DCA/RCAA

Two departments within MoT are dedicated to civil aviation, including ATM:

The Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCA), included in the Directorate General of Air-Naval Transport and headed by the Director of Civil Aviation, who manages the regulatory responsibilities, including for ATM. These include drawing up high level policies, regulations and supervision for the security issues and regulatory supervision of all delegated tasks. Economic regulation is performed with participation of MoT’s Economic & Administrative Directorate.

It should be noted that the ASU within MoT/DCA is acting also as the NSA in the field of civil aviation security based on the provisions set in Regulation (EC) no. 300/2008, Regulation (EU) no. 185/2010, Decision (UE) No. 774/2010, Regulation (UE) no. 1035/2011, Chapter 4, Security, the Aviation Act, Government Ordinance no. 17/2011 concerning quality control in the field of civil aviation security, approved by the Law no. 149 from 2012 and in the Romanian Government Decision No. 1869/2005 for the approval of National Quality Control Programme on civil aviation security, as amended by the Government Decision no. 1077 from 2009.


By Law No.55/2010 for approval and modification of the Government Ordinance No.26/2009, the Department of Air Transport Investigation, part of the General Directorate of Control and Accident Transport Investigation (GDoCATI) from MoT has been transformed into the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Centre (CIAS), public institution with legal personality, subordinated to MoT. CIAS is the independent body responsible for technical investigations of the civil aviation accidents and serious incidents, having its own budget. CIAS has become functional with the promulgation of the Government Decision No.1013/2010 which approved the Regulation of organization and functioning of the CIAS. The main activity of CIAS is based on Regulation (EU) 996/2010 (for the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation) and Directive 2003/42/EC (for civil aviation occurrence reporting).


According to Art. 5 of the Aviation Act, Government Decree 405/1993 (establishing the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (RCAA) as an autonomous, independent from ATM service provision and self-financed organisation) and to some other specific regulations promulgated by MoT after 1998, most of MoT’s safety regulatory responsibilities were delegated in the remit of the RCAA, such as drafting national regulations (up to the approval of the national specific regulations, which is undertaken by MoT), issuing specific procedures and instructions to apply the national regulations and the day-to-day safety supervisory tasks pertaining to ANS provided to GAT. MoT retains and applies regulatory supervision of all delegated regulatory tasks (the RCAA operates under the authority of MoT).

It should also be noted that economic regulation of ANS is retained by MoT. However, the amendment by Law 399/2005 of the Civil Air Code has introduced the supervisory function in the national regulatory framework, as required by (EC) Regulation No. 549/2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the Single European Sky. This enables that the RCAA is designated by MoT as the NSA for Romania for all specific tasks laid down by SES legislation except the security matters. Since 1 January 2014, the NSA responsible for security matters was transferred from MoT to RCAA, through Government Decree 645/2013.

The RCAA was established by Government Decree 405/1993 as national safety oversight and licensing authority. It is an autonomous self-financed, 100% state owned organisation. Following the promulgation in 1997 of the current basic legislation, several MoT Orders confirmed the role of the RCAA as the delegated national safety oversight authority and licensing authority, thus correlating the provisions of the new basic legislation with the safety regulatory responsibilities bestowed on the RCAA in 1993.

The Law 399/ 2005 amending the Air Code of Romania entered into force since 1st of July 2006 and starting with July 2006 RCAA has been designated as NSA for Romania by MoT Order no. 1185/2006, published in the Official Journal of Romania Part I no. 602/12.07.2006. According to this MoT Order, RCAA is designated to perform the roles and responsibilities of a NSA in compliance with SES legislation, except those related to aviation security. Starting August 2005 several organisational changes have been implemented within the RCAA, including the full separation (at functional level) of RCAA’s AIS Department (providing aeronautical information services falling under the SARPs of ICAO Annex 15 - the whole integrated package of aeronautical information except for the PIBs) from the RCAA departments which fulfill the role and tasks of the NSA. Since 1 January 2014, the AIS department from RCAA, responsible for providing the IAIP except PIB was transferred from RCAA to ROMATSA, through Government Decree 645/2013.In Romania, as EU Member State, all EC Regulations are entirely binding and directly applicable, including SES legislation which is in force for the time being. Subsequently, all the ESARRs provisions transposed at Community level are now directly applicable

The Romanian Civil Air Code (established by law) provides the general requirements concerning the safety regulatory approval and oversight of all ATM systems and organisations, and for personnel licensing. The RCAA covers a wide area of activities, including certification, such as:

Certification of the ANS service providers in compliance with the SES certification processes required by the EC regulations. During 2006, RCAA developed an audit programme consistent with the ANSP certification process within SES as required by the SES (EC) Regulations (No. 549-552/2004) and the Commission’s Regulation (EC) No. 2096/2005 laying down the Common Requirements for the provision of air navigation services. At the end of 2006 RCAA issued for ROMATSA the Certificate no 01/ 2006 for air navigation services provision, with revision number 1 applicable from 1 January 2007. Further, revision number 2 applicable from 1 January 2010, and revision number 3 applicable from 5th of November 2011 were issued. A second certificate no. CN 07/2012 was issued which replaces the previous one and is valid until 15.12.2018. For the AIS Dept. within RCAA the following certificates were issued: in June 2007 the Certificate no. 02/ 2007, in June 2008 the Certificate no. 03/2008, in June 2009 the Certificate no. 04/2009, in June 2011 the Certificate no. 05/2011, in June 2012 the Certificate no. 06/2012, and in July 2013 the Certificate no. 08/2013. Since January 2007, RCAA has started to annually monitor the ongoing compliance of the air navigation service providers with all the applicable requirements and conditions attached to their certificates.

for procedures (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments associated with procedures related to either new functional systems or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual implementation),

for the ANS personnel (licensing of air traffic controllers and of some safety significant categories of ATM technical and engineering personnel, licensing of MET and AIS personnel), and

for ATM systems/constituents (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments related to either a new functional system or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual implementation).

1.2.3 Airports

1.2.3.1 General information

Romania’s airport network consists of 16 controlled civil aerodromes – published in the AIP Romania, ensuring a good coverage of all the territory.

From administrative point of view, 4 airports (Bucuresti Henri Coanda Intl. Airport, Bucuresti Baneasa-Aurel Vlaicu Intl. Airport, Timişoara – Traian Vuia Intl. Airport and Constanta – Mihail Kogalniceanu Intl. Airport) are considered airports of national interest and are owned by the State, represented by MoT. The other 12 airports are of local interest and are owned by the local county authorities. All romanian aerodromes are placed under RCAA’s safety oversight.

All Romanian civil airports are authorized/certified in accordance with ICAO requirements in force (Airport Manual, SMS). These requirements are included in the national regulation RACR – AD – AADC: Civil aerodromes authorization (Issue no. 1 / 2003 approved by Order of MoT no. 744 / 2003).

1.2.3.2 Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP

The airport covered in this LSSIP is Bucharest “Henri Coanda“ International Airport (AIHCB).

1.2.4 Military Authorities

The Ministry of National Defence (MoD) represents the State authority for the Air Forces and, in co-operation with the MoT, ensures the air traffic and the national airspace management at levels 1, 2 and 3. Starting from July 2002 after approval of the new Civil / Military Regulation (Aeronautical Civil / Military Romanian Regulation – Airspace Management / Flexible Use of Airspace), concerning the Airspace Management (ASM) implementation of the Flexible Use of Airspace concept (FUA) in Romania, the Airspace Management Council (Romanian acronym: CMSA) was set up, having the responsibility of policy establishment and airspace management at national strategic level.

The Romanian Air Force Staff (ROU AF) represents the main regulatory body (National Military Aeronautical Authority).


The AOC (Air Operations Centre) is the military air traffic services provider for military OAT flights and is responsible for the provision of separation between OAT and GAT flights. There is a continuous level 2 (pre-tactical) coordination between Airspace Management Cell of AOC and ROMATSA regarding the air traffic and the management of the national airspace.

Tactical coordination is provided through the Military Coordination Offices collocated within the civil ACC facilities. The AOC includes the Air Defence (AD) and military ATC/ATM entities. The AOC provides ATS only for the operational air traffic and coordinates the military SAR participation. Foreign military aircraft may operate within the Romanian Airspace but not on a regular basis and only for training purposes, based upon bi-lateral agreements.

The military ATC units provide control only to the military OAT and coordination between military OAT and GAT flights and do not provide air traffic control to the GAT flights.

The Civil/Military Coordination is organized at:

Strategic Level – by the Airspace Management Council (CMSA);

Pre-Tactical Level – by the Airspace Management Cell;

Tactical Level – through the Military Coordination Offices collocated with the civil ACC/APP units.

The Military Authorities in Romania consist in the Air Force Staff (ROU AF), which was designated as National Military Aeronautical Authority. ROU AF reports to the Ministry of National Defence. Their regulatory, service provision and user role in ATM are detailed below.

Chapter 4 - National Projects

Performance of the local ATM system will also be improved by the implementation of the following national Projects:

Romanian Target Operational Concept

For the provision of air traffic services ROMATSA operates the en-route facilities of Bucuresti ACC and all the civil Aerodrome Control Towers and the Approach Control units within Bucuresti FIR. The reduction of the Bucuresti ACC physical locations from five to three that was achieved in November 2003 by means of a new integrated and highly interoperable ATM system significantly increased the capacity of Bucuresti ACC. Phases II and III of this project were finalized for pending and additional operational requirements implementation. Further reduction of the en-route centres from three to two was achieved in 2010.

The target concept established by the Government Decree no. 536/2000, to further reduce the en-route physical locations to a single one in Bucharest, was finalised in 2012. Also, a new APP unit was implemented in Arad in 2012. The Constanta APP unit was implemented in 2010.

The above rationalisation is connected to the existing of appropriate and safe contingency measures.

The implementation of the Romanian Target Operational Concept consists of the following main objectives:

Constanta APP unit located in Constanta and the associated Constanta TMA (done)

Arad APP unit located in Arad and the associated Arad TMA (done)

Transfer the en-route ATC activities from Constanta location to Bucharest location (done)

Chapter 5 - Regional Co-ordination

5.1 FAB Co-ordination

The DANUBE FAB is currently under phase 4 – FAB Implementation phase. The State Agreement on the establishment of the DANUBE FAB between the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania was signed in December 2011 and was ratified by both governments in 2012. The Agreement entered into force on 16 November 2012 following the diplomatic exchange of letters between both States, thus ensuring the legal basis for the FAB ahead of the SES deadline.

DANUBE FAB project phases

The State Agreement establishes new governing structures of the FAB: Governing Council, ANSP Board and NSA Board. In order to fulfil their tasks, the governing bodies established specialized Standing Committees (Strategy and Planning Standing Committee; Operational Standing Committee; Safety, Quality, Security and Environment Standing Committee). The new structure created after the December 4, 2012 will ensure successful implementation of the DANUBE FAB.

DANUBE FAB Governance

Following the entry into force of the DANUBE FAB State Agreement, the governance takes place under the oversight of the DANUBE FAB Governing Council, supported by cooperation arrangements at the ANSP and NSA level, signed as elements of the regulatory framework for establishment of the DANUBE FAB. These agreements ensure continued cooperation in the provision of air navigation services within the DANUBE FAB airspace. The DANUBE FAB was approved for financial aid by the European Commission (EC) with Decision C(2013) 7573 under the 2012 Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) Multi-Annual Call Programme, for activities to support the implementation of the IDP within DANUBE FAB. The aim of the Action is the deployment of the initial set of SESAR solutions at DANUBE FAB level, concretely the air ground data link and airspace management (free routes). As such, it addresses the priorities of the Interim Deployment Programme (IDP), which describes the implementation activities of essential ATM operational changes as identified by the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan and which details short-term implementation activities. The total amount of the grant is over €1,394,000, representing 50% of the total eligible requested costs. A step forward towards the implementation of the DANUBE FAB was taken at the beginning of 2013 by developing the “DANUBE FAB Strategic Program 2013-2017 and beyond” document. This Strategic Program has been developed in accordance with Article 10.5.a) of the DANUBE FAB State Agreement by a dedicated Task Force with due consideration of individual Stakeholder Plans (for example the ANSP


Business Plans required by Regulation (EU) 1035/2011) and with input from the NSAs and Military. The purpose of this Strategic Program is to set out the intentions and goals i.e. ‘strategic objectives’ of DANUBE FAB and to set out a high level overview of how and when these objectives are to be achieved. The Program includes short-medium term objectives and it presents a view of how DANUBE FAB should develop in the medium and long-term. In fulfilling its purpose, the Strategic Program ensures a coherent and consistent approach that does not duplicate the existing processes of planning of the individual stakeholders. It is also consistent with the relevant European Union requirements applicable to service provision, interoperability and airspace in a FAB framework – as reflected through the ESSIP/LSSIP process. There are nine strategic objectives (SOs). Five of them cover the Performance Scheme Areas as defined by the amended Regulation (EU) 691/2010, namely: Safety, Environment, Capacity, Cost Efficiency and Flight Efficiency (see expected contribution to the key performance in the table below and section 5.2 FAB Projects). In addition, other four SOs have been identified as beneficial areas of strategic cooperation. These are in the following three areas: FAB Organisational Excellence, Security and Interoperability.

STRATEGIC AREAS STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

FAB ORGANISATIONAL

EXCELLENCE

[SO1] Continuous improvement of the DANUBE FAB organisational excellence, by focusing on a holistic business-oriented approach in meeting the needs and expectations of customers and other stakeholders in a balanced and objective way.

High level ‘Strategic Objectives’ of DANUBE FAB

Following the approval of the DANUBE FAB Strategic Program, a dedicated Task Force developed the DANUBE FAB Annual Plan for 2013, in order to detail the features of the Strategic Program and describe any modifications to it. The Annual Plan is entirely based on the high level provisions set in the DANUBE FAB Strategic Program 2013-2017 and beyond.

The following deliverables supporting the establishment of the DANUBE FAB were also released in 2013:

‐ DANUBE FAB Data Link Services Concept of Operations, 31.05.2013 ‐ DANUBE FAB Annual Plan 2013, 15.05.2013 ‐ DANUBE FAB Interim Report on the Implementation of the DF SP/AP 2013, Oct 2013 ‐ DANUBE FAB Project Management Plan Implementation Phase, Sep 2013 ‐ Procedure for Cross Border Sector Establishment , Oct 2013

During 2013, a number of key activities were developed towards implementation of the DANUBE FAB:

Develop and implement cross-border sectors(s) at DANUBE FAB level - The Cross border implementation procedure was elaborated and agreed.

Two Cross Border Scenarios were agreed, the subsequent Implementation Plan accepted for implementation in December 2014.

FRA actions undertaken as part of TEN-T initiative – all activities are in progress according to the plan. Both ANSPs implemented FRA Step I (Implementation of night Free Route operations within national boundaries) on 14th November 2013.

Cooperation with other FABs – A review of possible Inter-FAB coordination with BLUEMED FAB and FABCE is in progress in order to establish a coordination mechanism. Emphasis will be put on the coordination issues between the neighbouring ANSPs, based on the principles to reduce the administrative burden.

Project management activities are in progress.

The project is aimed at the SES High Level Goals and supports achievement of the EU-wide targets established under the SES Performance Scheme, in particular: · EU-wide capacity target: The introduction of AGDL in Europe is estimated to have a 10% net benefit on en-route capacity and is therefore a key enabler of the EU-wide capacity target of en-route ATFM delay of lower than 0.5 minutes per flight. Given the low level of delay in the DANUBE FAB, this investment is not necessary for the achievement of the local target, but the nature of AGDL is that the benefit will be accrued in the core-European airspace where delays are in excess of the national targets. · EU-wide environmental target: The introduction of FRA

3 Capacity, safety, cost-efficiency and environment – as defined in Recital 2 of Regulation (EU) No 691/2010.


will enable the DANUBE FAB to deliver direct routes for the en-route segment and hence contribute fully to the EU-wide target of en-route horizontal flight efficiency.

Events

On the 9th of October 2008, HungaroControl and ROMATSA agree to join in the Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) and to commonly work towards the following objectives:

establish a plan and maintain the required radar coverage to meet the operational needs;

set up working structures (airspace design and architecture group) to address operational and technical issues;

review the possibility and establish a plan for OLDI exchange development and other technical cooperation and improvements, in line with the interoperability regulation;

exchange experience on the Civil-Military cooperation to identify possible improvement areas based on best practices.

Major events in 2010:

In order to achieve co-ordination of the airspace design and to develop a common airway structure, it was started the work with the scope of proposing new routes at the common interface, and to improve air traffic flows, over Bucharest – Budapest common FIR border.

With a view to improve the continuity, quality and track position accuracy of multi radar trackers in Romania and Hungary, on the 11th of January 2010 a joint bilateral meeting between ROMATSA and HungaroControl was held in Bucharest at ROMATSA’s premises Subsequent to this meeting, two agreements were signed for radar data sharing from Manastur/RO and Puspokladany/HU respectively, for the purpose of improving radar coverage and radar data availability in the two FIRs.


With a view to improve the airspace interface and the cooperation in technical domain, in October 2011 a joint bilateral operational and technical meeting was held in Bucharest at ROMATSA’s premises between ROMATSA and HungaroControl. Subsequent to this meeting, important bilaterally decisions have been taken regarding some major improvements of the ATS routes at the common interface, and of the air traffic flows, over Bucharest – Budapest common FIR border, which entered into force in April 2012.


In order to improve the cooperation between ANSPs at regional level, an operational and technical meeting was held in Chisiniau in September 2012 between ROMATSA, UkSATE and MOLDATSA. The meeting gave an overview of the existing ATM systems and plans for the future, of the existing


institutional arrangements and aviation legislation and of the route network development and free route airspace. Planning has been made regarding AMHS and OLDI testing between MOLDATSA and ROMATSA and between MOLDATSA and UkSATSE, additional radar data exchange, LoAs amendment resulting from OLDI implementation in the Moldavian ATM system in the near future.


On 6th of November 2013 a strategic cooperation agreement on establishing a regional cooperation platform was signed in Sofia by the CEO's of the ANSPs of Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Bosnia-Herzegovina ANSP will become a party of this Agreement during the next meeting in January/February 2014. The purpose of the strategic alliance GATE ONE, covering the area of three functional airspace blocks (Baltic FAB, Danube FAB and the prevailing part of FAB CE) is to promote the efficiency of European Air Traffic Management through an enhanced cooperation among the participating service providers, to ensure a more powerful and coordinated role of the countries of the region in the European decision-making processes.

Moldavian representatives (at state and ANSP level) attended as observers the meetings of the DANUBE FAB Steering Committee in the pre-implementation phase and the first meeting of the Governing Council in the implementation phase. Presently the Moldavian transport authorities are undergoing a process for receiving an Observer Status in the DANUBE FAB, considering the new legal framework that entered into force on 16 November 2012

Radar Data Sharing

Radar data sharing is currently carried out based on bilateral agreements, with Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Moldova. ROMATSA receives radar data from Vitosha and Varbica MSSRs (Bulgaria), Puspokladany PSR/MSSR (Hungary), Kosevac MSSR (Serbia) and Chisinau MSSR (Moldova) and sends data to Bulgaria from Buciumeni MSSR and Topolog MSSR, to Hungary from Manastur MSSR and to Moldova from Bacau MSSR.

Regional Route Network Developments

Further improvements of ATS network in South-East Europe have been addressed during the RNDSG, SEERM and RDGE meetings. The main objectives are to review the route network improvement proposals raised by States, IATA, IACA, ERA and EUROCONTROL. Within the context of these proposals, Romania is currently improving cooperation on regional route network development with all its neighbours, as follows: Bulgaria (BULATSA), Hungary (HungaroControl), Serbia (SMATSA), Ukraine (UkSATSE) and Moldova (MOLDATSA). The interface with Bulgaria is subject to regional and bi-lateral meetings. The implementation of interface improvements with Bulgaria has been done before the summer season 2009 and is currently taken into consideration under the Danube FAB.

Regional Communication Network

Currently, the regional network covers Sofia, Varna, Budapest, Bratislava, Bucharest, and Chisinau ACC centres. The joining of Simferopol ACC/Istanbul ACC/Ankara ACC has been completed in 2007/2008. There is a tendency to improve the network with Beograd, Lviv, Odessa and Simferopol ACCs.
