MET matters in a Single European Sky OGC TC / MET DWG Boston 2009 Dennis Hart Aviation Meteorology Expert CND / Centre of Expertise Information Management EUROCONTROL dennis.hart@eurocontrol.int

The Ambition 20 Million in 2030 Flights Long-Term Trend Average Growth Flights in Europe (Millions) 10 8 6 4 2 5% 0% -5% Annual Growth 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 Long-Term Trend Flights Average Growth 2

The Ambition Enabling handling 3 times the traffic Improving safety by a factor of 10 Reducing by 10% the environmental impact per flight Cutting Air Traffic Management ( ATM) costs by 50% 3

A Challenge; Fragmentation The 100 main airports are: - connected by approx. 600 airspace segments - controlled by 66 Air Traffic Control Centre’s with many systems - operated by 38 Air Traffic Service Providers with different cultures Sectors and routes are designed according to national borders rather than traffic flows Air Traffic Control Centre's below optimal economic size, duplication of systems & piecemeal procurement, high contingency costs, support costs on research, training & admin too high 4

A Challenge; MET Today 5

The Money Today; MET Performance Review Report 2008 (EU footprint): - 3.6 b€ loss in ATFM delays and route extensions - 25% of these ATFM delays are attributed to WX

The Money Today; MET Non-avoidable 225 m€ WX 900 m€ 2700 m€

SES 2 (adopted March 2009) focus on: - PERFORMANCE - SAFETY - CAPACITY The Approach; SES Establishing a single aviation market Adopting common rules in most relevant areas of the air transport system Enhancing competition and efficiency throughout the whole value chain of aviation Developing an external dimension of the EU single aviation market Started in 2004 by laying down the foundations for: Legal and institutional framework Separation of service provision from regulation Transparency of charges Harmonisation in licensing of controllers Advancing the efficient use of airspace Moving towards interoperable equipment SES 2 (adopted March 2009) focus on: - PERFORMANCE - SAFETY - CAPACITY - TECHNOLOGY = SESAR 8

The Approach; SESAR 2015-2025 2008-2014 2006-2008 Definition phase Development phase Deployment phase Resulted in the European ATM Master Plan Managed by the SESAR Joint Undertaking Implements the results of the development phase, delivers the service performance increase foreseen in the ATM Master Plan Based on the Master Plan, results in Standards, new operational procedures, new technologies and pre-industrial components, 2015-2025 2008-2014 2006-2008
