ACAC-Supplemental Data Collection Questionnaire Airbus ProSky
PurposeIn recent years, there have been significant changes in the global approach to ATM and for aviation in the Middle East. Most notably for ATM is the adoption of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP), development of the Aviation System Block Upgrade (ASBU) approach to ATM evolution, implementation of formalized Safety Management System (SMS), and shifts in how Air Navigation Services are provided. There continues to be unprecedented rapid growth of aviation in parts of the region that is straining ATM capabilities and spurring various localized nation replanning efforts.
The Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and aviation authorities have developed strategic plans to address the growing needs. There are, however, substantial challenges in being able to accommodate effectively the anticipated aviation growth and expectations of its stakeholders. Some areas of the current regional ATM system are already experiencing extended periods of airborne holding or ground departure delays. There is a need to increase airspace capacity, provide increased access to airports, improve efficiency for both aviation system customers and ANSPs and reduce environmental impacts while continuing to maintain, foster, and promote safety. Specific objectives include:
1. Increase airspace capacity to meet future demand requirements2. Increase access to airports3. Improve airspace safety and efficiency4. Reduce environmental impact of increasing traffic by providing improved ATM operations5. Improve interoperability between ANSPs to foster seamless services across borders
As a result, the Arab Civil Aviation Commission (ACAC) launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new study that obtains an update to a similar previous effort from 2005.
The questions in this supplemental questionnaire and the previously submitted initial questionnaire collect data in support development of an ATM Study addressing near-term and strategic ATM needs and requirements in the Middle East and North Africa. The principal study rationale and mutual benefits are as follows:
This region spread over the Middle East and North Africa has one of the highest air traffic growths in the world with projections for sustained growth.
Some nations are already experiencing greater aircraft activity levels than ATM capabilities and airspace route structures can and will be able to support.
Legacy operational agreements and procedures between nations lack the ability to prevent oversaturating ATM capabilities of adjacent nation ATM facilities.
Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) to assist in managing imbalance between demand and available capacity will be significantly more effective in a larger and coordinated regional application.
With no immediate actions, the region is due to have numerous bottlenecks that will have immediate effect on aviation growth, economic growth, safety, and the environment.

Survey OutlineThe supplemental questionnaire is divided into 15 core data collection categories (Table 2) and 1 optional category. The core categories reflect those operational and management categories that will provide the data that will become the focus of the ACAC CNS/ATM Study Update & Strategic Planning. One optional category allows the individual FIR respondent to include any additional information that would support the advancement of this project.
Each question is identified by its category and question number. This format will assist in the data compilation, and support the development of a reusable database. Each category has an option for the responder to add any additional information that could be relevant to this effort.

InstructionsThis questionnaire is supplemental to the initial questionnaire distributed during October 2015. In a few cases, there are questions that are similar to those in the initial questionnaire. To differentiate these questions, the similar questions are identified with a grey outlined box, as indicated below. Those States that have already provided full responses to the preliminary questionnaire may choose to bypass these highlighted questions.
This questionnaire is developed in Microsoft© Word Document format and is open to the respondent for edits. The principal method of data insertion will be accomplished by using ‘tables.’ Each table has been formatted to accept input and ‘expand’ as data is inserted. Following each question table is an opportunity for the respondent to add any additional information—this insertion will be accomplished by adding text.
Each new Category is paginated by ‘section’, which will allow for the automatic movement to the next page as information is added to previous sections.
Data Input Consistency:
To ensure as full and complete an understanding as possible of the individual and regional operational environments, the Airbus ProSky team will be heavily relying on the data provided by the ACAC Member States. Critical to obtaining this understanding, is a level of uniformity and consistency in format and detail to the responses provided to both the initial and supplemental questionnaires. To achieve this goal, questions that require significant detail within the supplemental questionnaire are preceded with a sample response, indicating the minimum desired detail and format. The sample DOES NOT restrict the respondent from providing more information.
Sample input will be indicated with red highlights as indicated below:
Documentation – Sample
SAMPLE - (CD-5): Identify the currency and availability status of the following documentation or their local equivalents. Indicate your response in the table with a ‘Y’ or ‘N’.

Several questions will ask the responder to judge the operational adequacy of a system/method. To ensure uniform understandings that later will allow for logical analysis, the following definitions have been developed. For those type questions, please use the following definitions when completing your responses.
1. Adequate – The subject system/method provides you with most of the modern era operational capabilities you need, and at a high level of quality or reliability to perform your daily job function. (On a scale of 1-10, this level would be a 9-10)
2. Moderately Adequate – The subject system/method provides you with many of the modern era operational capabilities you need, and at a medium level of quality or reliability to perform your daily job function. (On a scale of 1-10, this level would be a 6-8)
3. Minimally Adequate – The subject system/method provides you with few of the modern era operational capabilities you need, and at a low level of quality or reliability to perform your job function. (On a scale of 1-10, this level would be a 3-5)
4. Not At All Adequate – The subject system/method does not provide you with any of the modern era operational capabilities needed, and at a poor or inconsistent level of quality or reliability to perform your daily job function. (On a scale of 1-10, this level would be a 0-2)
5. Not Applicable – You have no interaction with the subject system/method.
Data Delivery Means and Procedures:
To ensure ease and security of data transmission from each FIR to the Project team, individual SECURE File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites have been established for EACH participating project State Point of Contact (POC). These FTP sites will allow for the (1) transfer of large file sizes that are often restricted in general email accounts, and (2) secure transmission of data between the intended participants. The following FTP site and data transmission procedures will be used by all affected parties:
1. Each of the FTP site addresses and passwords will be forwarded to the ACAC POC Mr. Mohamed Rejeb by Airbus ProSky.
2. Mr. Mohamed Rejeb will forward each specific site address and its password to the individual point of contact (POC) for each ACAC Member State.
3. Each POC FTP recipient should initiate a test upload to ensure proper site functionality.4. As the Member State collects and transmits its data, it will upload the information to the FTP
Site.5. Upon successful upload to the FTP site, the State POC will initiate an email to Mr. Mohamed
Rejeb ([email protected] ) , indicating that data has been uploaded to the FTP site.
6
ACAC-Supplemental Data Collection Questionnaire Airbus ProSky
6. Mr. Mohamed Rejeb will confirm the upload of the data to the FTP site, and then initiate an email to Airbus ProSky ([email protected] and [email protected]), indicating the originating member state, and that data is available for review.
7. Airbus ProSky will conduct an initial ‘quick-look’ review of the uploaded information to confirm (1) completion, and (2) level of response detail. If clarification of the data or additional information is required, Airbus ProSky will advise Mr. Mohamed Rejeb of the needed attention, who will in turn contact the member state.
8. The FTP sites will be eliminated, and their use will no longer available either when the (1) data collection process has ended, or (2) the project has ended. In either case, Mr. Mohamed Rejeb will be advised, and he then will advise the member states.
Questionnaire Response Period:
The project team is estimating a reasonable completion and submission period to be 45 days from the State’s reception of the questionnaire. We are therefore requesting your finalized input by January 31, 2016.
The project team requests your support in providing (1) responses that are as thorough and detailed as possible to both questionnaires (initial and supplemental), and (2) submission of requested/available documentation, so that we can obtain the best possible understanding of your operations and its needs.
Questions for the project team should be routed through the ACAC Representative, Mohamed Rejeb, ([email protected]).
Thank you for your time, cooperation, and support.
