Presentation outline

• Pick up on previous presentation
• Whats possible today
• Transition strategy to a global air navigation
  system
• Performance objectives
• Air navigation integrated programme

3
A Few Simple Questions

• What operational capability cannot be
  accomplished with todays infrastructure?
• Is the limitation in the aircraft?
• Is the limitation lack of services?
• Is the limitation regulatory?

Evolution Phase 1
Evolution Phase 3
Evolution Phase 2

• Based on CONCEPT expectations
• Involves application of new procedures, processes
  and capabilities
• Fills gap requirements and sustains continuous
  improvement RD

• Based on what we
• KNOW today
• Involves application of emerging procedures,
  processes and capabilities
• Identifies gap requirements and drives future
  RD

• Based on what we HAVE
• today
• Involves application of available procedures,
  processes and capabilities
• Identifies potential gap requirements that
  focus
• near term work program activities

Transition Near-term
NEAR-TERM

• The Global Plan Initiatives
• capabilities that have been implemented
• What cant be implemented?

• Examples
• Use RVSM to provide additional capacity
• Use datalinks to provide situational awareness
• Use enhanced data reporting and analysis tools to
  enhance safety
• Standardize cross boundary coordination
  procedures to enhance cost effectiveness
• Utilize PBN capability to fly instrument
  approaches, enhancing safety reduced CFIT and
  increasing access
• etc

MEDIUM-TERM
Evolution Phase 2
High-Level Performance Gap Analysis

• based on what we KNOW today
• application of emerging procedures, and
  capabilities
• identifies gaps
• drives future RD

Integrate Capabilities with High-Level
Performance Objectives

• The medium term effort is supported by the gap
  analysis outcomes of near term efforts.
• Work programs are structured towards
  implementation of procedures and capabilities
  based on validated operational requirements and
  cost-benefit analyses

LONG-TERM
High-Level Performance Gap Analysis
Evolution Phase 3

• based on CONCEPT expectations
• application of new procedures and capabilities
• Fills gaps
• sustains continuous improvement RD

Integrate Capabilities with High-Level
Performance Objectives

• Long term efforts are focused on meeting the
  expectations of the ATM Operational Concept.
• New procedures, processes and capabilities will
  be characterized by Performance Standards

Performance Objectives

• Global Performance Objective 
• Global Performance Objectives are
  improvements to the Air Navigation System that
  are on the critical path towards the Global
  Operational Concept and result in a direct
  performance enhancement, and through which
  differences that are obstacles to global
  interoperability are resolved.  Global
  Performance Objectives are designed to measure
  the effectiveness of the transition strategy and
  may be used to verify consistent and harmonized
  progress/commitment by all stakeholders.
• Regional Performance Objective 
• Regional Performance Objectives are
  improvements to the Air Navigation System that
  are required to evolve the air navigation system
  in support of the Global Performance Objectives,
  and in keeping with operating environments and
  priorities specific to a regional level. The
  regional level is defined by a division of the
  world into homogeneous regions with similar
  characteristics, a common interest in terms of
  performance and transition planning, and that is
  under by a common planning and implementation
  group.

Global Transition Goal Implementation of a
seamless, global air traffic management system
that will enable aircraft operators to meet their
planned times of departure and arrival and adhere
to their preferred flight profiles with minimum
constraints and without compromising agreed
levels of safety. Supported by Global
