2. 2 Objective AOM13.1 Harmonise Operational Air Traffic (OAT) and General Air Traffic (GAT) handling Comprehensive Explanation What is new or has changed since LSSIP 2012 Link to European ATM Master Plan Most important SLoA(s) Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions ESSIP Report 2012 Objective Coordinators Analysis, recommendations, tips & tricks Links and contacts ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective AOM 13.1

3. 3 Comprehensive Explanation Area of applicability: All ECAC States Initial Operational Capability (IOC): 01/2012 Full Operational Capability (FOC): 12/2018 Items to be implemented are: Common rules and principles for OAT and OAT/GAT interfaces Harmonised OAT FPL (ICAO format) Migration of Military AIS to EAD Implementing European OAT – IFR Transit Service (OATTS) AOM13.1 is: more than integrated (Civ-Mil) ATS provision and not only EUROAT Specification Main aim is to harmonise handling of OAT (traffic which can not /does not fly as GAT). Phased approach in implementation of harmonised handling of Operational Air Traffic (OAT) & General Air Traffic (GAT); ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective AOM 13.1

5. 5 Link to European ATM Master Plan After the revision of the ATM Masterplan in 2012, the objective AOM13.1 now covers two SESAR OI steps: OI step - [AOM-0202] – Enhanced Real time Civil-Military Coordination of Aispace Utilisation OI step - [AOM-0301]-Harmonised EUROCONTROL ECAC Area Rules for OAT-IFR and GAT Interface ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective AOM 13.1

6. 6 Most important SLoA(s) Clarification of some SLoAs sequence : 1.The EUROCONTROL Specification for ECAC Area Rules for OAT-IFR has been published and distributed to the states which now act upon it (SLoA AOM13.1-REG01 and AOM13.1-MIL02). Finalisation of REG01 and MIL02 will enable production of implementation version of EUROAT (a single set of rules). Since OAT is a matter of national sovereignty, the intended achievement to conduct OAT-IFR in Europe under a single set of rules will depend on the magnitude of national implementation. The single set of rules can have published known national differences in it. The Specification can be downloaded from the following website: http://www.eurocontrol.int/documents/eurocontrol-specification-harmonized-rules-operational-air-traffic 2.The SLoAs ASP01 and MIL01 are to be implemented after completion of SLoAs REG01 and MIL02.

7. 7 Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions Finalisation criteria: Contact your subject matter expert to determine the deployment Status for each SloA Statements to be made based on Finalisation criteria Closed questions: Not yet developed ESSIP Plan 2013 / Objective AOM 13.1

8. 8 ESSIP Report 2012 Almost 1/3 of Stakeholders report either Not Applicable or No Plan with the argument of no operational need or that the objective is still under review. Some justifications for no operational need state: A level of OAT flights does not necessitate the application of such rules and procedure There is no fixed wing aircraft in the respective national Air Force However, Objective AOM13.1 sets harmonised rules for handling of OAT IFR flights in controlled national airspace of an FIR, but also at FAB level, regardless of the aircraft/ OAT flight nationality. As most of the ECAC States are NATO Member States, there are OAT IFR flights of foreign military aircraft through national airspaces/FAB airspaces. The national Air Forces need to know beforehand what set of rules to expect to pursue their operations/(joint) military exercises in another national/FAB airspace.
