Abstract
Implementation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) MasterPlan-defined projects represents a prerequisite for thesuccessful implementation of the Single European Sky initiativedefined by the European Commission in 2004. Theimplementation of ATM-related projects is currently under the responsibility of the Single European Sky Research Programme Deployment Manager. While the definition of projects is being performed at the European Network level, theimplementation is performed through sub-regional grouping of Air Navigation Service Providers in a form of Functional Airspace Blocks. This paper analyses the level of implementation of ATM-related projects in the Functional Airspace Block Central Europe and their relation to other Functional Airspace Blocks defined in Europe. From this paper it is obvious that even though the planning of Single European Sky projects is based on the collaborative implementation of Functional Airspace Block level, the real implementation is fragmented and based on national levels.
Highlights
With the liberalization of the European aviation market in late 1993, travellers using air transport could benefit from more accessible and competitive air transport arrangements
The European Single Sky ImPlementation’ (ESSIP) mechanism provides a valuable instrument for States / National Supervisory Authorities (NSA) to plan and monitor deployment since the ESSIP Plan is mirrored at the national level by the Local Single Sky ImPlementation’ (LSSIP) (Local Single Sky ImPlementation) tool – which assists individual States / NSAs in their monitoring and reporting efforts in order to meet their objectives and national performance targets, whilst providing a holistic view of the short/medium term deployments (Figure 2)
The research has proved that it is not correct to expect that all Member States will simultaneously and implement ESSIP objectives
Summary
With the liberalization of the European aviation market in late 1993, travellers using air transport could benefit from more accessible and competitive air transport arrangements. While SES provided the means for evaluation of air navigation performance, based on the EUROCONTROL work, SES did not directly address the real performance issue Rather, it concentrated on creating a common regulatory framework and setting down some operational standards [7]. The Pilot Common Project identifies six ATM functionalities, namely, Extended Arrival Management and Performance Based Navigation in the High-Density Terminal Manoeuvring Areas; Airport Integration and Throughput; Flexible Airspace Management and Free Route; Network Collaborative Management; Initial System Wide Information Management; and Initial Trajectory Information Sharing. The deployment of these six ATM functionalities should be made mandatory [13]. The purpose of this research is to make an analysis and assessment of the SES ATM modernisation projects implementation between the FAB CE Member States and between FAB CE and other FABs to evaluate the implementation of SES at FAB level
