Project context

• Investigation for 4 European environments
• Paris, London Frankfurt TMAs
• En-route European Core Area
• Investigation of 3 Package I Airborne
  Surveillance (AS) applications
• Enhanced traffic situational awareness during
  flight operations (ATSA-AIRB)
• Enhanced visual separation on approach (ATSA-VSA)
• Enhanced sequencing and merging operations
  (ASPA-SM)

6
ATSA-AIRB

• Objective
• Provide the flight crews with an enhanced
  traffic situational awareness irrespective of
  visual conditions in all airspace
• Additional data on other aircraft provided in
  supplement of traffic information provided either
  by controllers or other flight crews
• Primarily safety benefits but also improved
  efficiency of air traffic control
• Responsibilities
• Unchanged core roles of the flight crews and the
  controllers
• No change in separation responsibilities
  standard rules apply

7
ATSA-VSA

• Objective
• Perform visual separation supported by CDTI
  elements on a more regular basis
• Enhance the runway throughput and conduct safer
  visual separation on approach
• Responsibilities
• Like today, once visual contact is established
  the pilot is cleared for visual separation from
  the preceding aircraft

8
ASPA-SM

• Objective
• Provide new ATC instructions which ask flight
  crews to establish and maintain a given spacing
  from a designated aircraft
• Potential ATC workload, capacity and efficiency
  benefits
• Responsibilities
• Responsibility for separation remains with the
  controller
• Pilots have to comply with spacing instructions

9
Project approach (1/2)

• Analysis of European Core Area radar data
• Operational feedback and consolidation
• Qualitative and quantitative analyses
• Airspace and aircraft perspectives

10
Project approach (2/2)

• Flight Phases under investigation depending on
  the application
