BBGA Conference 6 th March 2012

Scope The Challenge Slot Coordination Temporary Controlled Airspace Diversions Airspace Restrictions

The Challenge David Shephard

The Challenge Uncertain demand and late decision making No new airport provision Heavy use of existing airport and airspace capacity

To accommodate all Olympics related demand. To maintain highest standards of safety and security. Contribute to a positive visitor experience. Limit disruption to business as usual. Government’s Aviation Objectives

(Estimate by Atkins/AL/Shaw Economics (2010)) 500,000 + international visitors 120 Heads of State Over 10,000 total business jet movements Peaks around Olympics opening and closing ceremonies Can be accommodated, but only if –Use all available capacity, including smaller airfields for business jets –Manage capacity efficiently Aviation demand

Broad Strategy Extending slot co-ordination Temporary controlled airspace Other issues Diversion guidance Airspace restrictions

Extending Slot Coordination 21 July – 15 August 2012, inclusive – No IFR arrivals or departures without pre-booked slot Implemented by Airport Coordination Limited (ACL) within EU and UK rules Covers 40 airports with potential to impact on South East controlled airspace Linked to acceptance of flight plans March 2012 ACL Page | 10

How the System Works Review slot availability of the airport on line at Contact the Airport/Handling Agent as appropriate (to allow for parking and handling availability) Airport uses website to obtain slots All slots booked through ACL online-coordination.com System are on/off block times not airborne/landing times For General and Business Aviation the Airport receive back a unique slot ID for use with confirmed slots, the slot ID is entered by the operator in field 18 of the flight plan, with the prefix of RMK/ASL: i.e. RMK/ASLGBXXAPVT The addition of an appropriate contact telephone number in field 18 is imperative to allow for possible resolution of discrepancies highlighted Submitting a flight plan without a valid slot ID will ultimately result in the flight plan being suspended on the day or a possible heavy fine up to £20,000 Applies to everyone, including “state” flights, VVIPs Late changes possible subject to availability – ACL will operate 24/7 during Olympic period Permits for hire & reward flights will only be issued by the DfT on evidence of slots being booked – application forms download from March 2012 ACL Page | 12

Suspension Timeline March 2012 ACL Page | 13

Slot Coordination Will... Protect scheduled and non-scheduled traffic from disruption due to congested airspace Facilitate orderly and efficient use of available airport capacity Work with and through the market Encourage operators to book early March 2012 ACL Page | 14

Slide 17 Airports likely to attract demand Tier 1 (Main recognised) Heathrow (EGLL), Gatwick (EGKK), Luton (EGGW), Stansted (EGSS), London City (EGLC) Tier 2 (Prime tarmac) Bournemouth (EGHH), Southampton (EGHI), Oxford (EGTK), Coventry (EGBE) Farnborough (EGLF), Blackbushe (EGLK), Lydd (EGMD), Shoreham (EGKA), Manston (EGMH), Southend (EGMC), Cranfield (EGTC), Cambridge (EGSC), Biggin Hill (EGKB), Northolt (EGWU) Tier 3 (Small tarmac or pure grass airfields) Rochester (EGTO), Denham (EGLD), Elstree (EGTR), Fairoaks (EGTF), Wycombe (EGTB), White Waltham (EGLM), Duxford (EGSU), North Weald (EGSX), Stapleford (EGSG), Dunsfold (EGTU)

Slide 18 NATS Olympic airspace planning Additional temporary controlled airspace CAS(T) will enable NATS to manage additional demand for IFR flights CAS(T) will be active between 16 July - 15 August Mandatory flight planning routes are in place for many airports for London 2012 CAS(T) period

Slide 19 London 2012 CAS(T) overview

Slide 20 P111 – THE Prohibited Zone R112 – Restricted Zone Other colours are CAS(T)

Slide 21 NATS role during the Olympic Games is to… Manage the increase in air traffic in controlled airspace throughout the period as efficiently as possible, whilst maintaining our high levels of safety and service to existing customers Liaise and provide advice to organisations across industry to ensure a co-ordinated approach to a safe efficient operation Establish a NATS Olympic Operations Room as a communications cell Work with DfT and Civil Aviation Authority to maintain regular dialogue and share forward planning information with key stakeholders such as EUROCONTROL and the Met Office

Slide 22 NATS role during the Olympic Games is not to… Formulate airspace policy (DfT and CAA) Formulate, implement or enforce the London 2012 security restrictions (MoD, Home Office, DfT and CAA) Manage non-commercial or GA traffic within the security restricted zones (MoD) Allocate Olympic runway slots at the 40 airports (ACL) Assure service quality at airports throughout the Olympic period or make decisions about allocation of airport capacity in the event of disruption (Airport Operator) Flight and diversion planning (Aircraft Operator)

24 May 2015 Your role and guidance to support you

Slide 24 What you need to do Apply early for a slot through ACL Operate the slot correctly in line with the CAS(T) restrictions Familiarise operators and crews with London 2012 Operations (including Oceanic Airspace) for UK civil and security restricted airspace Plan carefully for Diversion and or Contingency Arrangements

Slide 25 Potential airport status webpage

Slide 26

Slide 27 Examples scenarios for delay The UK aviation network faces the potential of significant delay during the pre-opening ceremony period and the Olympic Games if: Security restrictions/ air policing/ air security measures require regulation to maintain safety Weather disruption Non-compliance with Airport Coordination Limited allocated/ coordinated slots

Diversions & Restrictions Dawn Lindsey

Diversion Guidance Draft AIC circulated by DAP Business Jet Assumptions: –More flexible - scope for allocating alternates according to destination. –Less ground infrastructure, less space and potentially less time on the ground. –Less commercial impact resulting from directives regarding alternates. –More aerodromes are available. –A ‘quadrant’ approach is possible.

Recommendations Destination Biggin Hill – Manston or Lydd Destination Northolt – Luton or Farnborough Destination Luton – Stansted or Southend Destination Stansted – Luton or Southend Destination Manston – Southend, Biggin Hill or Lydd Destination Farnborough group – Bournemouth Destination Cambridge – Norwich Others – According to location (quadrant approach) and capacity

London 2012 Airspace Restrictions Prohibited (P111) and Restricted Zones (R112) 14 Jul – 15 Aug 2012 P111: Screening requirement for LHR, LCY and NHT. Special Procedures for Battersea R112: File a Flight Plan Mode S or A/C SSR Maintain 2-Way RT Receive an ATC Service
