2010 TEN-T Call for ATM / FABs

Priorities and Objectives

| 22010 TEN-T Call for ATM / FABs

Outline

.Introduction.1. Aligning FABs to SES II.2. Key parameters for preparing applications.Conclusion


1. Aligning FABs to SES II

.SES II objectives .FABs.EC tools to support FABs


Single European Sky objectives

.To establish a harmonized regulatory framework to:

» restructure European airspace as function of air traffic flows, rather than to national borders

» create additional capacity» increase the overall efficiency of the ATM

system» enhance safety standards


Functional Airspace Blocks in SES I.Underlying idea: tackle fragmentation.Definition in Framework Regulation: integration of air navigation service provision.Airspace regulation: laying down requirements for Member States to reorganise airspace into FABs – «Bottom-up approach».Set of criteria: safety case; optimum use of airspace, value added; connectivity, etc..Five year window of opportunity – study to review bottom up process


Transition towards SES II

.Five years of FAB experience.2007 Communication to stimulate political commitment of Member States and slowly developing ANSPs initiatives.High Level Group report: apply the Community method to drive performance –continue FABs – governance.Study on performance through FABs.Financial support through TEN-T

Map of FAB initiatives


Build a genuine European aviation market


FABs in SES II (3/1). Regulation 1070/2009 . entry into force on 4.12.09. 3 key measures

» Introducing performance regulation in 4 key performance areas of Safety, Environment/flight efficiency, Capacity, Cost-efficiency: Art. 11 FWR

» Accelerating the creation and integration of air navigation services in Functional Blocks of Airspace (FABs): Art. 9a SPR

» Strengthening the network functions: Art. 6a ASR


FABs in SES II (3/2)

. Move FAB requirement from ASR to SPR. Preserve bottom-up approach. Define FABs to make a link to performance»Performance-driven … optimised …

enhanced cooperation … integrated provider. Extend scope from upper to include lower

airspace. Deadline for establishment: end 2012


FABs in SES II (3/3)

.FABs are a TOOL to achieve performance» FAB performance plans with targets» FAB charging policy: single rate?» FAB integrated service provision» FAB NSA structures.Network manager cooperates with FABs» Interface between FABs» Provide network wide dimension


FAB establishment

.A FAB establishment that works means….Successful activities related to improvement of performance: capacity, safety, environment and efficiency, costs.By all actors: States, service providers and NSAs


EC Tools to support FABs.Legal: Guiding materials, implementing rules.Financial support: TEN-T for aviation infrastructure.Dialogue tools: coordinate within (staff, military, NSAs, ANSPs) and between FABs(gather FAB managers in EU-FAB Platform; FAB-coordinator).Governance: which structures make FABsefficient and effective? – link with Network Manager and Performance Review Body.Technical tools: SESAR programme, early implementation of SESAR technologies


2. Key Parameters for preparing applications

.Relevance.Maturity.Impact .Quality

Provide the evidence of a comprehensive approach to the establishment and implementation of FABs


Relevance (1/2)

.Compliance with EC regulations: 9 FAB Criteria» safety case» optimum use of airspace» consistency with the European route network» overall added value – positive cost-benefit analysis» fluent and flexible transfer of responsibility» compatibility between the configurations of upper and

lower airspace» comply with conditions stemming from regional

agreements concluded within ICAO» respect regional agreements » facilitate consistency with Community-wide

performance targets


Relevance (2/2)

.Evidence for reaching the deadline of FAB establishment by end 2012 ( and ability to further work out activities of FABs in 2013 or before).FAB as vehicle for SESAR deployment, using the potential of new concepts and technologies


RelevanceExamples of potential activities (1/6)

.Relation with the regulatory requirements(FAB “Checklist”)» Relation with the 9 criteria (slide 15)» Supervision: agreement between NSAs

and between FABs» Arrangements between ANSPs


Examples of potential activities (2/6)

.Agreement between States must include» Definition in space and time of the FAB» Provisions of the modification of the block» Provisions on withdrawal, including

transitional arrangements» Arrangements between ANSPs» Cooperation between States on FUA across

national borders» Agreements between civil and military

authorities in the FAB



Agreement between States may include» Governance» Services and functions provided» Joint designation of ATSPs and, possible,

MET providers» Liability» Supervision» Coordination with and between the ANSP» Harmonization of rules» Civil/military coordination» Performance» charging



.Mandatory conditions for cross-border operations» Agreement on supervision between States» Agreement on supervision between NSAs» Arrangements between ANSPs» Cooperation between States on FUA across

national borders» agreements between civil and military

authorities in the FAB



.Optional conditions for the implementation of FABs» Agreements between NSAs for division of

responsibilities regarding supervisory tasks» Charging scheme for the FAB» Performance plan for the FAB



.FAB as vehicle for SESAR deployment: ATM investments to be in line with the European ATM Master Plan

» FAB: Mechanisms to coordinate and synchronise investments, aim at network benefits

» Avoid investments which are not in line with the European ATM Master Plan

» Short term: Take account of the “Implementation Package 1” (IP1) of the ATM Master Plan, as presented to and endorsed by the Single Sky Committee on 3-4 December 2009) (document is part of the call information package)

» Appoint contact person for SESAR


Further implementation of agreements

.Implementation of operational cooperation» Between States» Between NSAs» Between ANSPs

(for instance: consolidation; training; maintenance; equipment and procedures; information management; radar coverage; charges)


Maturity

.Presentation of the “Vision/ Roadmap/ strategic plans”for the establishment of FABs at three levels» State level framework» NSA cooperation arrangements » ANSP cooperation arrangements.Degree of cooperation, regulatory and operational.FAB to FAB cooperation.Results: clearly indicate phases in project.Performance targets.Stakeholder consultation.Organization of civil-military cooperation


Impact.Improvements should be quantified/measurable.Nature of improvements: » efficiency, » cost, » capacity, » interoperability of the network, » routes, » safety, » services, » interconnectivity: with 3rd countries and regions,

European ATM network; » Environmental benefits


Quality.Completeness of the proposal .Clarity of the management structure .Clarity of management of the financialresources.Clarity of the Gantt chart and milestones set to achieve the project’s results


Conclusion 1: urgent time for action!

.Vision in SES II» FABs are important element of SES-II» 2012 target date for establishment » Bottom-up approach» FAB are the vehicle to drive performance

Performance targets at FAB level » Measures to achieve targets taken by service

providers and Member States (preferably in FAB environment).Relation FABs with European level

» States: civil and military cooperation» Network manager to cooperate with FABs


Conclusion 2: 2010 TEN-T call for proposals.TEN-T support is an opportunity to all

FABs.Compliance with SES II is essential .2010 Call for proposals» 20 M€ to support studies and works» Complexity of the preparation of applications» Criteria for assessment » Comprehensive approach needed» Solidity of proposals.Commission and TEN-T EA ready to help
