“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 5 our European responsibility… STEP CHANGE  to make a STEP CHANGE in the implementation of a 21 st century air traffic system through:  leadership – deliver SES objectives by 2008 (STAR 21 report has this spirit)  effective application of funds by joining up the various EU programmes e.g TEN-T/MIP, FP6, environment etc  compelling value proposition ensuring operational implementation by airlines & general aviation  result is a significant start in the delivery of the aviation system we need…

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 6 parallel worlds show us a way…  safety - maritime; Automatic Identification System (AIS)  July 2002 – mandate regulation start… Dec 2004 – large ship completion  70,000 ships in 2 ½ years…  safety - general aviation; Capstone/UAT  1995 – study… ‘IFR’

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 7 practical world approach…  research to feasible level – (‘done’)  operational large-scale trials via C-ATM/SEAP  create operationally based database for validation  non-critical applications e.g AOC, ADS-B/tracking, D- ATIS, PDC etc first, introduce CDTI  ATM applications asap eg DAP, CAP, ADS-B in & out  complete technical standards – (‘advanced’)  rewrite operational procedures  progressive addition of high benefit ATM applications

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 8 the interoperability red herring...  Europe frequently cites global interoperability as a basic criteria for selection of ASAS enablers but the fact is:  USA is ‘doing it’s own thing’ e.g UAT, VDL3 & delaying VDL2 CPDLC…  so while Europe is in (quote) ‘air traffic crisis’ it delays the best technology & cites lack of spectrum as a typical reason in the name of ‘global interoperability’…

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 9 our European unilateral approach – mode S…  mandate of mode S is village thinking applied to an industry that has many airlines struggling to survive…  HOW MANY AIRPORTS OR ANSP’S HAVE FAILED COMPARED TO AIRLINES?  regulators and ANSP’s have failed Europe in the timely delivery of proper capacity with significant safety gains – we are at least five years behind schedule…  focus should be on WHAT surveillence data to provide not HOW to provide i.e. an open data standard…

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 10 Our European unilateral approach – short term, not inclusive…  mode S & 1090ES no real commercial benefit to airlines  Just like the mandate of TCAS, GPWS/EGPWS do nothing beyond reaction to an immediate problem (ADS- B can replace these two… = simplification = lower cost!)  i.e a short term solution for a long term need…  general aviation ‘ignored’ as usual e.g. neither ADS-B via Mode S or UAT (in Europe) a real option  but on this issue, like maritime safety, ‘all’ users must be included in order to meet our ‘duty of care’…

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 12 Effective way forward…  Accelerate SEAP within FP6 C-ATM SEAP = Large Scale South European ADS Pre-Implementation Programme  optimised flight supply chain; collaborative decision making  SEAP; serious ASAS  SEAP is the most significant mechanism to deliver operational capacity, flight efficiency and safety we have at hand…  maximum European effort i.e. political, financial & industrial, must be applied to translate the R & D investment into operational reality…  …by 2008 – no excuses!

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 13 Summary i.e. package 2/3 !  ASAS needs to focus primarily on maximum benefit applications first i.e. package 2/3 !  ASAS only delivers serious value with:  ADS-B in & out  Cockpit Display of Traffic Information  political, financial & regulatory leadership essential if aviation is to deliver needed capacity, flight efficency & safety in Europe  airlines will lead industry change when shown the value proposition to their business  …note: supply chain = customer=> airline=> airport=> ansp=> regulator…

“ASAS Operational Improvements: Dream or Reality?”… ASAS Thematic Network Workshop #1 Rome April 2003 Slide 14 End thoughts…  airlines, airports and ansp’s hoping to use Collaborative Decision Making without a universal, seamless datalink will be like an office full of personal computers without a LAN  p.s. who is going to pay if a bit-charge enabler is used?  ATN system of the future must be driven by aircraft-derived parameters… ANSP’s will then undergo a quantum shift in safe, productive, cost efficient delivery to benefit of all…
