3. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 2 AIRCRAFT GLOBAL RNP APPROVALS ►Europe: already B-RNAV, moving to P-RNAV (29 th October 2005) and thereafter (tbd) RNP-RNAV ►FAA transition to performance based national airspace system, RNP based operations a major component ►FAA Approval basis: AC 120-29A ►JAA/EASA Approval basis: various TGLs / AMJ ►Some difference in EASA and FAA methods for aircraft RNP approval which need to be sorted out! We need to create a solid global RNP regulatory requirement based on input from all parties including European ATC, EASA/JAA, ICAO etc. allowing EASA to approve RNP capability for EU operators (ref also Airbus letter to EASA/FAA, 13 May 2005)

4. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 3 RNP Approvals: some fundamental differences! ►A common understanding of associated procedure design, and the way they are protected (TERPS vs. PANS/OPS, etc.). This has a direct bearing on allowable aerodrome operating minima in different States. ►Assumptions from the air navigation service provider (ANSP) e.g. navigation infrastructure, air traffic separation, safety case ►Airplane capabilities for RNAV operations including RNP-RNAV and “special” approach operations and the applicable airworthiness criteria for specific applications ►Operational authorization requirements.

5. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 4 RNP Approvals in Europe ►Many Authorities currently share responsibilities related to aircraft RNP approval in the EU eg. airworthiness (EASA), JOEB (EASA-JAA), OPS (JAA/NAA) and ATC (Eurocontrol/NAA) ►Based on recent RNP aircraft approval projects, this sharing of responsibilities does not work! ►What we need is a solid coordination of RNP aircraft approval in Europe! EASA should become responsible for ALL those safety regulatory aspects in the future including OPS and ATM safety

6. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 5 Cooperation / harmonization on CNS/ATM ►Within JAA, the JAA CNS/ATM STG has been steering the required work to develop approval material in response to European CNS programmes. FAA has been member, but did recently withdraw due to budgetary reasons. ►Need continued FAA/EASA/JAA cooperation to ensure harmonization of aircraft approvals ►To consider a JAA/FAA/EASA forum (CNS/ATM Harmonization Steering Group?), with active involvement of the interested parties (OEMs and airline operators) to ensure that developments do not diverge further and to steer FAA/EASA/JAA work in line with customer needs! This is also essential for the success of SESAME / EU SES

9. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 8 The Principles of cost-effective Operation ►Airlines’ priority: fulfil the schedule = passenger & cargo to arrive on time at the destination-gate ►ATM-system needs to achieve maximum performance = enable dynamic capacity adaptations ►Predictability and reliability are essential performance parameters to make the system sustainable ►Collaborative decision-making of all relevant stakeholders for any phase of flight preparation or operation based on uniform situational awareness ►Any failure to deliver, i.e. non-performance, results in additional cost

10. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 9 Strategies needed to stay in the market: ►Constant optimisation of the business in all areas: –Company Size and Structure –Operational Principles –Network / Partners / Alliances ►Contribution to the improvement of the political / institutional frame-work (e.g. EC - SES) ►Strategic guidance of the Aerospace Industry’s Research and Development ►Highest consideration of the environment and social- economic realities ►External factors ???

11. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 10 The Vision ►One totally harmonized European ATM-system: All elements of the system need to be standardized and fully interoperable, based on a new concept of operations (air/ground): –airspace definition –ATM- ground-infrastructure –Airplane-systems ►Use of the optimum flight-path, self-separation, ground safety network, collaborative decision making ►Use of the optimum flight-path, self-separation, ground safety network, collaborative decision making (CDM) ►Fair and transparent ATM-charges ►European ATM must be globally harmonized

12. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 11 Future ATM-network basics - Interoperability air side ground side ONE SYSTEM Hardware blocks Software blocks different applications different operations different interfaces different users

13. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 12 The “Single European Sky” ►EC has reacted and launched the SES-program to unify Europe’s Air Traffic Control Systems – a regulatory framework ►Target is a European-wide safe and cost-effective Air Traffic Management System, based on harmonized rules for a standardized network ►To create a dynamic ATM, providing Airspace-capacity according to demand and projected growth, from gate- to-gate, thus including airports ►It is not a quick-win – it is an evolutionary transition which takes a lot of effort and a lot of time – a stepwise improvement.

14. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 13 ATM -> SES -> SESAME ►To make SES and the New ATM a reality, all stakeholders must identify and accept their obligations and contribute to this evolution in a holistic approach. ►Tools to support this evolution are needed ►AEA is leading the airspace-users in SESAME, the important European ATM-project representing the required means: –To drive the developments according to a common vision –To ensure streamlined research and development –To use the political momentum created by SES –To stay profitable in the market

15. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 14 SESAME ►SESAME is a EC/EUROCONTROL funded project ►Performed by a consortium of: –Airspace-Users, –Airports –Air Navigation Service Providers –Aerospace Industry ►Work to start in September 2005, approx. 1700 man-months of contribution within 2 years ►Development-phase to create the ATM Master Plan, followed by the Implementation-phase to transform the master plan into reality

16. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 15 The Necessity ►COOPERATION is KEY TO SUCCESS –Airspace Users –Service providers (navigation, data, communication, …..) –Airports –Military –Aerospace industry –Research and development organisations –EUROCONTROL –European Commission –ICAO –Standardisation-Bodies The principles of the Air Transport Value Chain must be applied

20. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 19 The summary ►A standardised system allows seamless information exchange ►Seamless information exchange allows co-operative processes ►Co-operative processes allow concentration to the essence ►Concentration to the essence allows simplification ►Simplification reduces costs and allows workload reduction ►Workload reduction allows safety increase ►Safety increase allows growth

21. EU/US International Safety Conference Cologne, June 7-9, 2005 20 A possible start – one step of many ►To consider a JAA/FAA/EASA forum (CNS/ATM Harmonization Steering Group?) ►active involvement of the interested parties (OEMs and airline operators) ►to ensure that developments do not diverge further and to steer FAA/EASA/JAA work in line with customer needs The final goal is: A globally harmonized ATM-masterplan
