Overview of the Block Upgrades Concept

This concept focuses on the need for a global framework to enhance safety, harmonize ATM improvement programs, and remove barriers to future efficiency and environmental gains in aviation. It also emphasizes the importance of investment certainty for operators, infrastructure providers, and equipment manufacturers. The concept proposes a four-step plan, including block upgrades and modules in various performance improvement areas. The goal is to develop a globally interoperable aviation system that meets regional and local needs.

  1. Overview of the Block Upgrades Concept Tai Feng Air Navigation Commissioner International Civil Aviation Organization

  2. Our Collective Challenge Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  3. Developing Tomorrow’s Aviation System • Global framework is needed to ensure: • Safety is maintained and enhanced • ATM improvement programmes are harmonized • Barriers to future efficiency and environmental gains are removed, at reasonable cost Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  4. Developing Tomorrow’s Aviation System • Investment certainty is required for: • Operators • Infrastructure providers • Equipment manufacturers • Regulatory approval process must be outlined • Support States in introduction of significant changes Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  5. Developing Tomorrow’s Aviation System • ICAO developed 4-step plan • Setting the stage for global interoperability Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  6. Step 1Get Harmonization on the Global Agenda • ICAO Future Systems Symposium (2008) • Convened Standards Organization Roundtable (2009) • Established working agreements with Standards Organizations on shared work programmes Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  7. Step 2Block Upgrades • Define aviation system block upgrades • For interoperability purposes • Independent of when and where specific ATM improvement programmes are introduced Why is this approach proposed? Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  8. The Reality of Our System Today… Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  9. A Team Effort Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  10. What is a Block Upgrade? • Measurable Operational Improvement Positive Business Case Air & Ground Equipment / Systems + Approvals Air & Ground Standards & Procedures Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  11. We Can Benefit From What Is Already Out There… Brazil Russia Canada Australia India China Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  12. 4 Blocks Upgrades are Proposed • Block 2 • 2023 • Block 3 • 2028> B 2 B 3 B 0 B 1 • Block 0 • Available now • Block 1 • 2018 Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  13. A Block is Made Up of Modules… Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  14. …So a Block is Scalableto Meet Regional or Local Needs Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  15. Modules are Grouped in 4 Performance Improvement Areas Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  26. Threads Between Modules…and Across Blocks Globally Interoperable Systems & Data Through Global SWIM Increased Interoperability, Efficiency & Capacity through Ground-Ground Integration Block 0 Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Increased Interoperability, Efficiency & Capacity through FF-ICE/1 application before Departure Improved Coordination through multi-centre Ground-Ground integration: (FF-ICE/1 & Flight Object, SWIM) Improved Operational Performance through the introduction of Full FF-ICE Available Now 2018 2023 2028> Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  27. Threads Between Modules…and Across Blocks Optimum Capacity & Flexible Flights Through Global Collaborative ATM Improved Flow Performance through Planning Based on a Network-Wide View Block 0 Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Enhanced Flow Performance through Network Operational Planning Increased User Involvement in the Dynamic Utilisation of the Network Traffic Complexity Management Available Now 2018 2023 2028> Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  28. Threads Between Modules…and Across Blocks Efficient Flight Path Through Trajectory-based Operations Improved Flexibility & Efficiency in Descent Profiles (CDOs) Block 0 Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Improved Flexibility & Efficiency in Descent Profiles (OPDs) Optimised Arrivals in Dense Airspace Full 4D Trajectory based Operations Available Now 2018 2023 2028> Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  29. Step 3 Global Rollout & Feedback at GANIS • Held Global Air Navigation Industry Symposium • September 2011 • Over 500 participants from Industry, States and international organizations • Platform to enable feedback • Industry voice is critical in our planning • Essential preparation for AN-Conf/12 Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  30. Step 3 What Happened Post-GANIS? • Collected feedback on the Working Document • Until 17 October 2011 • Technical Team generated Edition 2 (version 3) of the Working Document • Week of 24th October 2011 • Edition 2 released for further feedback • December 2011 • Proposed revision of Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) • Include technical roadmaps for CNS/AIM, based on ASBUs concept • Internal review – May 2012 • Public consultation – 30 June 2012 • Proposed GANP content will be discussed at AN-Conf/12 • 19-30 November 2012 Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12

  31. Step 4International Agreement at AN-Conf/12 • Opportunity to formalize future of infrastructure & equipage • Strategies for longer-term requirements • Agreement of first series of block upgrades • Level of certainty for all stakeholders • Encourage more efficient implementation • Revised Global Plan • Operational capabilities to manage ATM system requirements Preparatory Workshop for AN-Conf/12
