REACT Workshop Planning Business Trajectories Present & Future - … from an Airline’s Perspective - Ekkehard Gutt ASM - Planning & ATM EK Flight Operations Support Seville, June 24th, 2008
Status Quo • Oil reaches record $140 a barrel. • Air traffic to double until 2020. • Available capacity on current ATS-Route structure not sufficient – “ground based infrastructure”. • Missing civil/military cooperation and coordination in most part of the world. • Aeronautical Information Management not ‘state-of-the-art’. • Ground Delays / Enroute Delays. • Not all airspace stakeholders are involved in future decision-making. • National borders – not traffic flows – dictate the airspace environment.
FANS-1/A – Aircraft Equipment • Typically the Emirates Aircraft equipage includes : • ADS-C & CPDLC • VHF & SATCOM Data Links via ACARS • FMS & RNAV • 3 Inertial Reference Systems • Classic Navigation Systems (VOR, DME, ILS, etc) • GPS How are these technically quite modern aircraft treated in the environment?
Current Airspace environment (?) RNAV and RNP form the globally harmonised ICAO “Performance Based Navigation” (PBN) concept. RNAV/RNP is a proven method for effectively increasing the safety, dependability and efficiency of flight operations. (ICAO Doc 9613 (PBN Manual)). Why do we operate a brand-new 300t aircraft on Non-Precision Approaches using 60 year old criteria and profiles? (Emirates is authorised for 7 Approach Types; we would just like to operate two in the future: ILS & RNAV.)
2. Where are we today? - some examples…
“DARP”-ing in the Pacific Region… “Dynamic Airborne Re-route Procedure”
NavCanada: Traffic Density Analyser (TDA) The TDA is the collaboration tool for NAT- (North Atlantic) Operators and Air Traffic Service Providers. It is the first time in aviation history that a collaborative decision making-tool is available on a global basis.

ATC vs. ATM Air Traffic CONTROL Air Traffic MANAGEMENT
The role of ATC ATM in the future • Planned Routing / Dynamic changes of Trajectories • Conflict Management – Controller has still authority! • Terminal Airspace – Tailored SIDs/Tailored STARs ICAO Annex 11 (SARPs) Air Traffic Services ICAO Doc 4444 (PANS-ATM) Air Traffic Management • Providing, Sharing and Collecting information (traffic, WX, AIP, NOTAM…) “AIM” • Coordination Civil/Military Users and Airspaces • Traffic Flow depends on most current information • (Flexible) Responding to changing conditions • Search and Rescue • Security and Safety • Transform global ATM • Support/cooperate in technology development
6. The FMS and the EFF/EFP What will the future bring us?
Today’s limitations • Most current FMCs cannot easily meet a Required Time of Arrival (RTA) on descent. • Terminal airspace/Arrivals: typically radar vectoring off the path by ATC to make adjustments. • Current on-board FMS data base has limited capacity that will be exceeded in the future by more RNAV arrivals at more locations (limited memory). • Many systems and database entries in the cockpit remind me of an ‘Excel Sheet’ environment.
The FMS and the EFB/EFF technology The average mobile phone has 300 times the memory and processing power of a FMS. The development of the EFB technology is a consequence of where we stand with the FMStechnology. Ideally - on future aircraft types - concepts of FMS and EFB development should lead to a single integrated system.

Business Trajectories Isn’t it all about information management and data sharing?
Our Vision for the future… “Our vision for our future global ATM system is one where a pilot can fly into JFK International Airport in New York, Changi Airport in Singapore or Capital Airport in Beijing without any differences in equipment, procedures, or the quality of air traffic services.” FAA Administrator Marion Blakey Dubai Djakarta Stockholm Lagos Increased capacity in the airspace, higher flexibility and improved costefficiency can only be achieved in a regional ATM system.We need to ensure there is no a disconnect between Europe, Canada, Australia or the U.S.
Summary… • Record high fuel costs • Global concerns about the environment: fuel saving • and reducing emissions are both in everybody’s interest • All airspace is the concern of ATM & is a useable resource • More operational flexibility – combined with the existing • modern technology – is essential to meeting the • airspace demands. • Consideration of a regional ATM-System • Continuous military/civil coordination • Quality of Aeronautical Information Management has to • improve • The Airlines are more than happy to assist and to work • together
