Objective ATC 16 ESSIP Plan 2013 Luca DELLORTO DSS/EIPR

2 Comprehensive Explanation 1/2 Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is an a/c (= airborne – based) system to reduce the incidence of mid-air collisions between aircraft. This objective concerns the upgrade of existing ACAS/ TCAS. Currently Airborne (ACAS II) is based on TCAS II (SW) version 7. An enhanced TCAS compliant with the changes TCAS II Change 7.1 would further reduce the risk of a mid-air collision in European airspace by a factor of 4. Note: this OBJ is applicable to all flights performed by a/c of a given category, regardless of State of Registry: with MTOW > 5700 kg, or authorised to carry more than 19 passengers; or any other a/c equipped with ACAS II.

3 Comprehensive Explanation 2/2 Applicable legislation: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1332/2011 on common airspace usage requirements and operating procedures for airborne collision avoidance Applicable ICAO Annexes: ICAO Annex 10 – Amendment 85 of )ctober 2010 Note: the 12/2015 FOC date is for retrofit; For new aircraft (forward-fit) the applicable date is March Implementation is on a voluntary basis for the MIL transport type a/c, unless specified differently at National level.

5 Link to European ATM Master Plan and/or Interim Deployment Programme (IDP) Eur. ATM Master Plan: Linked to OI step CM-0803 via Enabler [CTE-S11a] - Upgrades to TCAS, TAWS etc. IDP: None ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective ATC16

6 Most important SLoA(s) Most SLoAs (REG01 – 03; MIL01 – 02; USE01 – 02) concern approval of i.e. airworthiness of (CIV/MIL) a/c and the implementation by airspace users. ASP SLoAs: ASP01 – Train controllers ASP02 - Establish ACAS II (TCAS II change 7.1) performance monitoring: This SLoA has to be understood as the requirement to perform ACAS monitoring as prescribed in ICAO PANS-ATM. Such monitoring should be performed by means of reporting (incident reports from airlines and ANSPs). It would be useful to contribute ACAS monitoring data/reports to the EUROCONTROL Voluntary ATM Incident Reporting System (EVAIR). ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective ATC16

7 Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions REG/MIL/USE: A/c airworthiness certification, equipage and operational approval of ACAS II (TCAS II version 7.1) equipped a/c; ASP: Implementation of a performance monitoring system; ASP: training of controllers ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective ATC16

9 ESSIP Report 2012 Objective included in the ESSIP Plan as from States have already it completed, 10 have partially completed the SLoAs. 22 States plan to implement within the FOC date (12/2015). The objective does not require changes to ATM system: the 2 ASP SLoAs cover ATCO training (ASP01) and incident reporting (ASP02). ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective ATC16
