Episode 3 Operational Concept Detailing Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event Ros Eveleigh & Eliana Haugg EUROCONTROL & DFS Episode 3 Brussels, 13 & 14 Oct 2009
Content • Objective of Concept Detailing • Documentation Produced • Concept Detailing Process • Example results • Operational Scenario example: • OS-35 High density TMA Arrival – Flying CDA Merging • Lessons Learnt • Conclusions Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Objective of Concept Detailing • Supporting validation activities • Concept descriptions for exercises • Support implementation of SESAR Target Concept • Production of specifications • Need comprehensive coverage • Sufficient level of detail • Future OSED production DODs Process Model Detailed Operational Descriptions Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event Operational Scenarios Storyboards

DOD Development Process SESAR sources e.g. Concept of Operations (D3), Operational Improvement Steps (D5) Initial DODs (Jan 08) Expert Reviews Exercise Needs Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event Interim DODs (Jan 09) DODs Expert Reviews Exercise Results Final DODs (Dec 09)
Review Process • DODs Reviewed by Experts • Current Operations in ANSPs, ATFCM, Airlines, Military • SESAR Definition Phase CONOPS (222) • Some new material added through review • Early user of Review Room • Allowing potentially contradictory comments to be easily identified • Hot topics identified debated • Via Email – difficult to record transparency v spam effect • Via Discussion Room – good • Answers by Exercises or escalated to Co-ordination Cell • Development of a Lexicon • Developed agreed definitions for over 20 SESAR terms • Available as document and on www.episode3.aero Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Additional Concept Detail • Lexicon Definitions • Paraphrasing text from 222 • Target Time of Arrival, Shared Business Trajectory, Revision • Proposed in Episode 3 • Arrival Management, Constraint, Tolerance Window • New text in the DODs • SBT to RBT agreement • 222 gives ~time, Episode 3 proposed set of conditions • New Roles and Descriptions of Responsibilities • Airport driver role, complexity manager responsibilities • Hot Topics deferred for S-JU activities • Successive authorisation v increased workload AUO-0302 • Extent and meaning of CDM in execution phase 222/D.2 Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
DODs, Scenarios & Storyboards • DODs • Specifications of main ATM processes • Operational Scenarios • Descriptions of how processes work together in an operation • Operational scenarios fundamental to expert groups, prototyping and gaming • Importance increased over time v Use Cases Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event • Storyboards • Diagrammatic representation of parts of ATM operations • Developed or reviewed in Expert Groups • New in Episode 3
Concept wide view now Zoom in to the TMA … Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
SESAR sources e.g. Concept of Operations (SESAR D3), Operational Improvement Steps (SESAR D5) Detailed Operational Descriptions (DODs) 9 DODs developed within Episode 3 Operational Scenarios (OS) 27 OS developed within Episode 3 General Development Process • Operational Scenarios primarily developed to meet Episode 3 Validation Exercise needs • Update with Episode 3 validation exercise results and Episode 3 Expert Group comments where available Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Operational Scenario Example • OS-35 High density TMA Arrival – Flying CDA Merging • Input from SESAR: • Section F3.5 of SESAR ConOps refers to aircraft that "as far as possible, fly their individual optimum … descend profiles" in medium/low complexity TMAs • Section H2.3 of SESAR ConOps refers to high complexity TMAs where a trade-off between throughput, punctuality and environmental performances will be made • The Operational Improvement steps (OI-steps) addressed are • AOM-0701 Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) • AOM-0702 Advanced Continuous Descent Approach (A-CDA) Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Operational Scenario Example • Input from early interim DOD G-General: • Contained initial high level CDA scenario “Flying CDA merging without Structured Routes” • Input from additional sources used (EUROCONTROL and ICAO documents, European and international studies) • Operational Scenario was composed: • The TMA described in this scenario consists of medium/low complexity and high traffic density • Aircraft have ATM Service and Capability Level 2, scenario is set around 2015 time frame Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Operational Scenario Example • The CDA scenario is set in a Point Merge airspace structure • Scenario describes the processes and interactions between human actors and systems for the following cases: • Nominal CDA procedure • CDA procedure with tactical ATC controller intervention • CDA procedure with wind impact IAF Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event IAF
Operational Scenario Example • Scenario was updated with Episode 3 Validation Exercise results and comments from Episode 3 TMA Expert Group • Scenario contains hop topic discussion boxes with open issues. Example from case with tactical intervention: • Hot Topic: How can the CTA and RTA of an aircraft be revised? • Expert discussion: Next generation of AMAN tools should dynamically and continuously compute revised CTA and a place in the arrival sequence • Scenarios will be disseminated as an annex of Detailed Operational Descriptions Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Zoom from the detail to Big Picture … Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Lessons Learnt • No Concept Authority • Same topic discussed repeatedly • But discussion needed for understanding • Difficult to integrate exercise results • Process defined, but difficult to agree responsibilities • Consistency across DODs, Scenarios & Storyboards • In progress at the moment • Hot Topics identified & described • Difficult, contentious or ambiguous problems • Resolution, escalation or deferred for SESAR-JU • Review Room and Discussion Room • Management of discussion • Debates recorded Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
Conclusions • Developed a Concept Detailing Process • ATM Process Model & DODs • Operational Scenarios & Storyboards • Checks for completeness & coherence • Identification of Hot Topics • Concept detailing started from SESAR D3 • Input from operational experts (incl airlines) • DODs, Scenarios and Storyboards available • Lessons Learnt Episode 3 - CAATS II Final Dissemination Event
