1. ASAS FRA OB/T ATM Projects Lufthansa point of view

2. 02/14/02* 2 * 2 FRA OB/T ATM Projects ASAS-Applications Goals & Conditions  To increase airspace safety and traffic capacity –More movements per air traffic controller per sector should be accommodated while preserving the required minimum separation –the increased number of movements should be handled by ATC without degradation of service quality  To redistribute (sub)tasks between ATC and flight crew –New work share for separation of aircraft and merging of target trajectories  To Improve ATC availability –Reduction of air traffic controller workload

6. 02/14/02* 6 * 6 FRA OB/T ATM Projects GENERAL REQUIREMENT ASPA C&P GENERAL REQUIREMENT  LH 138 AF 416  trajectory LH WPT1   : GENERAL REQUIREMENT for all C&P applications : Crossing trajectory of trailer (LH138) should be close as possible to original track AND Minimum separation to leader (AF 416) should be any time not less than 8NM.  8NM

7. 02/14/02* 7 * 7 FRA OB/T ATM Projects  LH 138 AF 416  trajectory LH WPT1    8NM ASPA C&P – Instruction Phase ATC: “LH 138, turn left (max track 180) to pass AF 416 8 NM behind. After passing AF 416 direct to WPT1”. Report at WPT 1 Different passing possibilities Depending on weather, other traffic, performance, ATC restrictions,…DLH 138 defines own most efficient and possible crossing trajectory taking into account the ATC restrictions and informs ATC accordingly (based on aircraft system support)

FMC flight plan (including merge trajectory) will be activated. Lead target selected and locked. Commanded mode!

12. 02/14/02* 12 02/14/02* 12 FRA OB/T ATM Projects Crossing and Passing (C&P)  Trailer (aircrew, based on aircraft system support,) should decide the most efficient and economic crossing/passing trajectory on his own, taking into account the ATC restrictions/constraints and inform ATC accordingly. No aircrew is able to calculate possible heading for C&P  A precondition for future ASAS applications is to start using intent data now.  To increase the benefit of ASAS applications  To efficiently monitor C&P procedures (How should ATC monitor a C&P procedure without knowing where trailer can turn back on course)  To delegate responsibilities for subtasks to flight crews  To enhance traffic situation awareness for flight crews and controllers  Enables new and automated monitoring functions to improve safety and controller availability

13. 02/14/02* 13 02/14/02* 13 FRA OB/T ATM Projects Why Intent Data?  For situational awareness and safety aspects (Redundancy) –To ensure that instructed WPT 1 is part of leaders track. –No aircrew would pass other a/c without knowing their intent!!!! –Common situational awareness picture (air AND ground).  For future applications and efficiency –Cockpit responsible for separation –Work with source data, not with predictions –Without intent data of AF 416, LH 138 and ATC are unable to define, execute and monitor a Passing application. –Without intent data of AF 416 and LH 138 ATC must guess where and when a passing application ends. –Simply a speed vector does not satisfy   WPT1 Speed vector LH 138 AF 416 C&P End WPT C&P Start WPT
