1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 SUMMARY

This Report updates on the evolution of the environment indicators1 listed in the Network Manager Performance Plan and informs on the progress achieved to further improve airspace design and utilisation flight efficiency based on the improvement proposals implemented during the relevant AIRAC cycle.

This edition focuses on AIRAC 1306 (30 MAY 2013). The methodology used for assessing flight efficiency is included in WP9 of RNDSG/64. This document can be consulted on: https://extranet.eurocontrol.int/http://beid.eurocontrol.be:8980/Members/irc/eurocontrol/rndsg/home

1.2 EVOLUTIONS TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN TARGET

The Performance Scheme for air navigation services and network functions includes an environment/ flight efficiency Key Performance area: Average horizontal en-route flight efficiency:

the average horizontal en-route flight efficiency indicator is the difference between the length of the “en-route” part of the trajectory and the optimum trajectory which, in average, is the great circle.

“en-route” is defined as the distance flown outside a circle of 40 NM around the airport. the flights considered for the purpose of this indicator are:

o all commercial IFR flights within European airspace; o where a flight departs or arrives outside the European airspace, only that part inside the

European airspace is considered; o circular flights and flights with a great circle distance shorter than 80NM between

terminal areas are excluded. Environment target 2012 - 2014: For the performance reference period starting on 1st January 2012 and ending on 31st December 2014, the European Union-wide and EUROCONTROL performance target will be as follows: Reduction of 0,75 percentage points of the average horizontal en-route flight efficiency indicator in 2014 as compared to the situation in 2009. Objectives:

Develop and support the deployment of 500 airspace changes in 2012 – 2014. Support the implementation of Free Route Airspace in 25 ACCs by 2014. Increase annually the number of CDRs by 5%. Increase annually the CDR1/2 availability and usage by an average of 5%. Reduce the route unavailability (in time and quantity) by 10% in 2013 and 2014. Reduction of vertical flight inefficiency by 5% in 2014.

Note: The FUA indicators (bullet 3-5) are reported quarterly. Flight efficiency (bullet 6) is reported only twice per yea.

1.3 AIRSPACE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION MONITORING

The Network Manager coordinates the following activities to achieve the required improvement in flight efficiency: Enhancing European enroute airspace design through annual improvements of European ATS

route network, high priority being given to: Implementation of a coherent package of annual improvements and shorter routes; Improving efficiency for the most penalised city pairs; Implementation of additional Conditional Routes for main traffic flows; Supporting initial implementation of free route airspace.

Improving airspace utilisation and route network availability through: Actively supporting and involving aircraft operators and the computer flight plan service

providers in flight plan quality improvements; Gradually applying route availability restrictions only where and when required; Improving the use and availability of civil/military airspace structures.

Efficient Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) design and utilisation through: Implementing advanced navigation capabilities; Implementing Continuous Descent Operations (CDO), improved arrival/departure routes,

optimised departure profiles, etc. Improving awareness of performance.

Figure 6 : Flight efficiency (DES, RAD, FPL) evolution per AIRAC cycle

The current data indicates that, the average yearly route extension due to airspace design reduced between 2009 and 26 June 2013 by 0.59 percentage points. The evolution of the airspace design indicator is on the right trend and the contributions of the airspace design projects are key for improving flight efficiency. The current data indicates that, the average yearly route extension based on the last filed flight plan reduced between 2009 and 26 June 2013 by 0.25 percentage points (0.27 percentage points in AIRAC 1305).

The difference between the airspace design indicator and the last filed flight plan indicator was 1.45 percentage points in 2009 and is 1.79 percentage points in June 2013, recording a slight increase compared to the previous AIRAC cycles (1.76 in April/1.77 in May).

The current data indicates that the route extension due to airspace design decreased to a historically low level of 2.84% in June 2013. The current data indicates that, the route extension based on the last filed flight plan went significantly up from 4.61% end of May 2013 to 4.73% in June 2013 as a result of the French strike.

3.4.1 SPECIAL EVENTS

The French industrial action which took place 11 - 13 June 2013 resulted in extreme re-routing options in order to avoid French airspace reflected in the flight planning indicator for this AIRAC cycle. Additionally between 4000 - 4500 flights were cancelled. Military activities were kept on very low level to free up capacity.

3.4.2 LAST FILED FLIGHT PLAN - BENEFITS AND ASSESSMENT

Due to the airspace design improvements, the potential savings achieved during the AIRAC cycle 1306 amount to 183 630 NMs flown less compared to the equivalent AIRAC cycle in 2012. This translates into 1 100 tons of fuel, or 3 670 tons of CO2, or 918 150 Euros.

Based on the last filed flight plan indicator, the losses calculated during the AIRAC cycle 1306 amount to -823 254 NMs flown more compared to the equivalent AIRAC cycle in 2012. This translates into -4 940 tons of fuel, or -16 465 tons of CO2, or -4 116 270 Euros.



- 9 -

Approximately 70 % of the losses recorded for the last filed flight plan data during AIRAC cycle 1306 compared to the same AIRAC cycle in 2012 were caused by the French industrial action (11-13 June 2013). This event resulted in significant re-routings and consequently had an impact on flight efficiency.

The staffing issues and capacity problems in Cyprus and Warsaw ACC, regulations applied due to staff shortages in Langen ACC as well as severe weather conditions due to thunderstorms throughout Belgium, Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland and southern UK.might have caused re-routings with impact on network efficiency.

3.4.3 RAD EVOLUTIONS - BENEFITS AND ASSESSMENT

As shown above the impact of the RAD is slightly decreasing by 0,05 percentage points in 2013 compared to 2012. More actions will be required to further diminish this impact and to ensure that the target set in the Network Manager Performance Plan is reached. Most of the decrease of this indicator is due to improvements in airspace design and to a lesser degree due to the removal of RAD restrictions.

The difference between the three indicators (DES, FPL, RAD) clearly indicate that additional efforts must be made to further improve the efficiency of the airspace utilisation and to ensure that the indicator based on the latest filed flight plan and the RAD indicator follow similar trends like the airspace design indicator.
