Network Operations Plan
The Network Operations Plan (NOP) document provides a consolidated view of the next season ATFCM situation: traffic and capacity forecast, bottlenecks identification and description of the associated ATFCM and ASM measures. It’s the final result of the operations planning process which consolidates inputs from partners involved in ATM operations (ANSPs, Airports, Airspace Users, Military…) and from EUROCONTROL Units in charge of Flow, Capacity, and Airspace Management. The Network Operations Plan is an output of the Dynamic Management of European Airspace Network (DMEAN) Framework Programme. This document will be published twice a year – with Summer and Winter Releases – and the electronic format document on the Web site will be updated twice during the season. The current release is: Winter 2006 (1st November 2006 to 30th April 2007)

11. Performance Partnership is Key
Planning & operational decisions interact
All are based on the flight trajectory
ATM Performance Partnership must
Include well defined roles and responsibilities
Be based on a shared set of values & priorities and the recognition of network interactions
Leaning on
An ATM Institutional Framework caring about societal interests
An ATM Business Framework managing all phases of European ATM System lifecycle

12. High Level Performance Objectives
Contribute to Vision 2020 Objectives for aeronautics:
80% cut in NOx emissions
50% cut in CO2 emissions per pax-Km
Halving perceived aircraft noise
99% of all flights within 15 minutes of
timetable
Air traffic system capable of handling million flights a year
Five-fold reduction in accident rates
Pressure & challenge on all performance areas
Temporary improvement of ATM performance is not a pretext to relax efforts
Existing plans insufficient
Lack of commitment & decision
Lack of evidence & rationale
Need more substantial & detailed work
Devil in the detail

17. Performance Targets A breakthrough in ATM performance target setting
Design objectives Vs 2020 targets: intermediate targets also to be addressed
KPIs for some areas: to be further completed, e.g. safety not only via accidents
Initial Strategic Design Performance Objectives & Targets
Trade-off consideration in the light of the operational concept

18. Derived from needs of society and airspace users
Performance Targets
Derived from needs of society and airspace users
Design Goals for scalable future capability:
Capacity: handle 3 times traffic
Safety: factor 10
Environment: - 10% on effects per flight
Progressive deployment, when/where needed
2020 targets:
Capacity: + 73% overall
Safety: improvement factor 3
Costs to airspace users: - 50%
Pressure & challenge on all performance areas
Temporary improvement of ATM performance is not a pretext to relax efforts
Existing plans insufficient

28. Conclusions 1/3 Data, a pre-requisite to discuss performance
Important to collect good data that people feel confident in sharing
Just culture essential to get usable safety related data
Safety is paramount, THE business of ATM
Environmental performance not specifically addressed at this symposium, but becomes increasingly important
Good environmental performance becomes essential to envisage building new airport capacity
Both Short and long term perspectives needed, in a balanced way

29. Conclusions 2/3 Not everybody equal on all KPIs
Performance is not about blame culture, or bad & good, but about everybody being good within own environment
Partnership is essential
Aviation increasingly seen as a total system
Achievements result from shared efforts and contributions by different groups of stakeholders: all have rights and duties
Cooperation necessary with especially airports and airlines
users / ANSPs partnerships become increasingly common

30. Conclusions 3/3 ATM Performance planning
Directly links actions & outcome
Facilitates decision making & interoperability (regional & global)
Novel domain
Still room to learn & develop
Evidence that approach helps deliver better performance
Performance based approach
Developed in Europe to deal with own very complex and varied set of circumstances
Our experiences as examples to those in similar circumstances
We are also eager to learn from others
