Slide 5July 2004 – FALBALA/WP5/FOR1/D – CENA, DFS, EEC, NATS, Sofréavia & UoG

Project context

Investigation for 4 European environments

Paris, London & Frankfurt TMAs

En-route European Core Area

Investigation of 3 Package I Airborne Surveillance (AS)

applications

Enhanced traffic situational awareness during flight operations (ATSA-AIRB)

Enhanced visual separation on approach (ATSA-VSA)

Enhanced sequencing and merging operations (ASPA-S&M)

Slide 6July 2004 – FALBALA/WP5/FOR1/D – CENA, DFS, EEC, NATS, Sofréavia & UoG

ATSA-AIRB

Objective

Provide the flight crews with an “enhanced traffic situational awareness” irrespective of visual conditions in all airspace

Additional data on other aircraft provided in supplement of traffic information provided either by controllers or other flight crews

Primarily safety benefits but also improved efficiency of air traffic control

Responsibilities

Unchanged core roles of the flight crews and the controllers

No change in separation responsibilities: standard rules apply

Slide 7July 2004 – FALBALA/WP5/FOR1/D – CENA, DFS, EEC, NATS, Sofréavia & UoG

ATSA-VSA

Objective

Perform visual separation supported by CDTI elements on a more regular basis

Enhance the runway throughput and conduct safer visual separation on approach

Responsibilities

Like today, once visual contact is established the pilot is cleared for visual separation from the preceding aircraft

Slide 8July 2004 – FALBALA/WP5/FOR1/D – CENA, DFS, EEC, NATS, Sofréavia & UoG

ASPA-S&M

Objective

Provide new ATC instructions which ask flight crews to establish and maintain a given spacing from a designated aircraft

Potential ATC workload, capacity and efficiency benefits

Responsibilities

Responsibility for separation remains with the controller

Pilots have to comply with spacing instructions
