3. What is SESAR? The SESAR Programme SESAR – Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research – is the technology pillar of the Single European Sky (SES) Programme. It pools together the knowledge and resources of the entire ATM community through a public-private partnership – the SESAR Joint Undertaking 3

5. SESAR is Approaching the Deployment Phase Definition phase Create European ATM Master Plan 2005-2008 Deployment Phase Implement results of development to meet performance targets Development Phase Develop new standards, operational procedures and technologies 2015….. 2008…….. Today 3000+ contributors 35+ validation exercises 17 SESAR Solutions 03/2010 1,500 contributors 300 projects 09/2009 Airlines on board 07/2009 400 contributors 20 projects 06/2009 Launch 06/2011 GA&R in the ConOps at a Glance 10/2012 Rotorcraft Operators (EHA) full involvement

6. How is SESAR Relevant to GA? SESAR Scope SESAR primarily addresses the needs of IFR GAT within controlled airspace: Commercial Aviation Business Aviation However, other stakeholder groups are increasingly being considered: Military Rotorcraft GA Unmanned vehicles (RPAS) 6

7. Can I still pursue my interests? VFR flight in Class G (etc) is essentially unchanged – Controlled airspace will exist where it’s needed, as now – Sports aviators can operate as now – The SESAR concept does not interfere with non-managed airspace operations But SESAR can help VFR operations: – Safety – Information management – Access to airports – Navigation 7

8. Safety - Electronic conspicuity Mode-S Transponder Automatic Dependent Surveillance (Broadcast) – ADS-B (Project EVA – more later …) MUST be interoperable to be of use to all stakeholders: – 1090 MHz ADS-B – Not FLARM (for ATC-related functions) – Not UAT ADS-B Also helps prevent airspace infringements So why is it important … ? 8

9. Cat A airprox in Class G Baron pilot did not see glider Glider pilot saw and heard Baron, reading registration Glider had FLARM No ATC service Missed “… by Providence alone …” Incident 1 – Beech Baron/Glider 9

10. Cat A airprox in Class G Paraglider pilot untraced No avoiding action possible by Airbus No ATC service Report recommends to create controlled airspace – more exclusion. – Not necessary with Electronic Conspicuity? Incident 2 – Airbus/Paraglider 10

11. Information Management System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) – Enables all stakeholders to produce and access information According to need Access rights Privacy Security – Does NOT need expensive certified equipment Internet-based Tablet or laptop – Airborne data Via low-cost data link 11

12. Navigation Access to airports – GNSS procedures and technology for access to airports without ILS – Simultaneous non-interfering approaches (SNI) – Point-in-Space (PinS) approaches New GNSS procedures – Low-level IFR Routes – GA-specific TMA procedures 12

13. 13 GBAS 75 – 50 Kt PinS SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System)  EGNOS in Europe, WAAS in US Simultaneous Non Interfering Operations (SNI) Rotorcraft-specific IFR approach Strategically separated from fixed-wing approaches & departures “Point-in-Space” type (VFR FATO) SBAS guidance (LPV final segment) Steep final segment (up to 9° slope)  Noise abatement  Vertical separation Converging or parallel approach path w.r.t. active runways

14. How does SESAR work for GA? Execution of SESAR SESAR 1 (current) comprises: Core Research Long-term research Demonstrations SESAR 2020 (future) comprises: Exploratory Research Industrial research Very-Large Demonstrations Engagement: Meetings with IAOPA Meetings with EAS Meetings with EHA Dialogue during project execution 14

15. SESAR 1 GA Activities Core Research comprises over 300 Projects: – Addresses all areas of ATM, but traditionally not much GA – Now P04.10 exists to address GA and Rotorcraft issues Long-term Research (WP’E’) allows new concepts to be examined and new ideas to be explored – ProGA and Agatha Demonstration projects are designed to demonstrate SESAR concepts, discover implementation issues, and build confidence: – NASCIO Large-Scale demonstrations are new: – EVA, PROuD, Augmented Approaches to Land 15

16. SESAR 2020 Approach to GA Exploratory Research is bigger than the previous WP’E’, and aims to start a pipeline of research to feed Industrial Research – Projects to be defined, subject to a Call Industrial Research is the core programme covering the main research activities: – Fewer, larger projects – GA and Rotorcraft are core to the programme: different Airspace Users. A significant philosophical change. – PJ.13 is dedicated to GA, Rotorcraft and RPAS specifics Very-Large Demonstrations – Wide demonstration of validated concepts – Include GA as AUs 16

17. SESAR 2020: Project 13 – ‘Air Vehicles’ Operational concepts in SESAR 2020 will also consider needs for GA, Rotorcraft and RPAS in each IR Project. Technology issues identified that are specific to these AU groups will be researched and validated in PJ.13. – Solutions will address Communications (including GA data link), Navigation, Surveillance and information- management issues. – Benefits to GA of evolving RPAS technology (such as non- cooperative collision avoidance systems) will be explored. 17

18. Case Study: Project EVA (1) SESAR 1 Large-Scale Demonstration – Demonstrate the improvements in safety and efficiency of integrating GA into SESAR Conops. – Assess how innovative technology can enhance GA Pilots’ situational awareness to reduce mid-air collisions and infringements of managed airspace. – Develop VFR Electronic conspicuity Conops. – Conduct minimum of 50 flight demonstrations of varying complexity conducted in four complimentary exercises involving different ATM operating environments. – Develop regulatory framework based on collected evidence from flight trials. – Publicise benefits of VFR EC to GA and wider ATM communities. 18

19. Case Study: Project EVA (2) Equipage options: “Gold Standard” for Commercial Aircraft – Certified GPS + Mode S Transponder + TCAS; ADS-B out & ADS-B in; CDTI with traffic situation – UNAFFORDABLE FOR GA! GA traffic situation awareness - ‘see and be seen’ – To be seen: GPS position source; Pressure sensor – baro altitude; 1090 transmitter – To see: GPS + baro alt; 1090 receiver + display/audio Demonstrating with LPAT and LASE/TABS – Low-power ADS-B Transceiver – ‘Light Aircraft Surveillance Equipment’ / ‘Traffic Awareness Beacon System’

20. Case Study: Project EVA (3) Live flights will take place in UK and Germany Results will support development of 1090 MHz ADS-B solutions for GA – Certifiable – Interoperable – Affordable Will support: – Concept development – Product development – Regulatory activity – ANSP buy-in

21. What about Mandates? Surveillance Performance and Interoperability Implementing Rule (SPI IR) SPI IR stipulated dates for equipage with transponders Many issues raised by Stakeholders, including GA Subject to revision SESAR has been involved 21

22. SPI IR – SESAR Activity SESAR Report for the European Commission Intended as a starting point for stakeholder discussion Options for a review of IR Content – Deferment of dates – Fundamental review of IR provisions Report contains: – Range of possible Regulatory Options – Pros/cons of each – No conclusions or recommendations Open Commission Workshop on 21 st April – SESAR report will be publicly available in pre-workshop information pack

23. SPI IR – Regulatory Options SESAR Report puts forward 6 Regulatory Options in no order of preference and with no recommendation: Option 1: Cancellation of Mandate Option 2: Maintain the existing Mandate Option 3: Move to an ADS-B IN Mandate Option 4: A ‘pockets’ approach for a Mandate Option 5: Universal Ground and Aircraft system Mandate Option 6: Overarching Surveillance Performance framework (complementary)

24. Conclusions Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research 24

25. Conclusions SESAR is a large research Programme, modernising ATM as part of the Single European Sky Programme Its main focus is GAT Non-GAT airspace users will be affected and their specific needs are increasingly being incorporated SESAR solutions can provide safety and operational benefits to non-GAT airspace users SESAR itself does not advocate mandates
