3. Brussels, 13 & 14 Oct 2009 Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event 3 What is an Expert Group Structured process Gain from group expertise More complete vision; Larger number of factors; More reliable. The mission of an Expert Group in a validation project is providing: A reliable approach to real cases, even when assuming future situations; and Experience based judgement analysis for supporting the feasibility of the developments to be undertaken.

4. Brussels, 13 & 14 Oct 2009 Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event 4 Using Expert Groups Pros Concepts development, refinement and clarification; Qualitative assessments; Prediction of potential issues regarding future situations; Support validation exercises design and development. Cons Difficulty to produce quantitative results; Limited availability of the experts; Biased vision; Trend to keep things the way they are; Pressure of the group.

9. Brussels, 13 & 14 Oct 2009 Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event 9 Outputs En-route execution phase Expert Group Questionnaires: 4D trajectory management: operational constraints - High level of ANSP coordination and harmonisation; - Ratio of 4D equipped aircraft; - Coexistence of several separation modes. Exercises: Support to conclusions: - There are processes that although not tactical, should not trigger a CDM process. DoDs: Review of the text: - No open loop instructions will be used in SESAR 2020.
