Emerging Issues for Air Navigation Service Providers

1. Emerging Issues for Air Navigation Service Providers Rudy Kellar Vice President, Operations NAV CANADA September 2007

2. Who We Are • Canada’s provider of civil air navigation services • Private sector company • 5,300 employees • Second largest ANS in world • 7.0 million IFR movements per year • Supported through service charges • Regulated by Federal Government (Transport Canada) on safety performance 2

3. 4 3

4. After 10 Years • Safety • IFR to IFR LOS from 1.36 (per 100,000) in 1997 to 0.77 in 2006 • Service • Increased collaboration, reduced delays and fuel burn • Customers savings of $100 million annually • Service Charges • 6 % increase since 1999, 14 percentage points below inflation • 4% reduction effective August 1, 2007 • ANS Non-Operational Costs • Additional $100 million in annual savings • Technology Innovations • $1 billion invested in safety, service, efficiency

5. Enhancing Safety and Efficiency • Customers’ Goals • Safety • Schedule • Efficiency • (fuel savings = reduced emissions) • Value

6. Enhancing Safety and Efficiency • Global focus on industry with concerns about: • Rising fuel costs • Energy supply • Safety and security • Greenhouse gas emissions • Innovation and optimization by all industry players required to address these concerns • NAV CANADA will do its part

7. Enhancing Safety and Efficiency • Identify/explore new and viable methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve flight efficiency • Optimum route and altitude • Continuous climb to cruise • Continuous idle descent to approach • Lowest possible approach minima • Minimum ground delay • Increased airspace capacity • Increased airport capacity

8. Enhancing Safety and Efficiency • Example: Investigate effects of noise abatement procedures on: • capacity, • arrival and departure rates, • fuel burn and emission production • Coordinated investigation into ‘potential’ with stakeholders

9. Optimizing ATM • Improve safety and efficiency by: • Increased application of RNAV with performance • Airspace and airport capacity enhancements • Complementary aircraft and ANS technology

10. Area Navigation (RNAV) • Initiatives • RNAV Routes • Random Route Trials • RNAV STARS (Standard Instrument Arrivals) • RNAV SIDS (Standard Instrument Departures) • RNAV Approaches (WAAS and RNP)

11. Northern Organized Track Structure (OTS) • Implemented January 2007 • 2,100 flights per year • Saves 1-3 min/flight • Fuel savings of ~315 metric tonnes/year • CO2 reduction of approximately 1,000 metric tonnes/year

12. Airspace Optimization • Expanded Northern surveillance coverage in 2004 • RVSM implemented throughout Canada in 2005 • Expanded Northern Direct Controller – Pilot Communications (DCPC) in progress*

13. Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast

14. ADS - B Phase I and II 14

15. Multilateration • Tracks and identifies all transponder equipped targets in all weather conditions • Improvements to capacity, efficiency and safety • Initial installation at Vancouver Harbour; Fort St. John

16. Enhancing Capacity Visual Aircraft Spacing Tool (VAST) • Fewer delays experienced by users • Adaptable as a spacing tool for: • converging runways • dependent and independent parallel approaches • single runway operations • Increases in capacity • up to 30% in Calgary Converging Runway Display Aid (CRDA) Application

17. Increasing Efficiency Extended Computer Display System (EXCDS) • Advanced tower, terminal, airport and en route coordination system • Automates flight data transactions • Part of suite of ATM products designed to improve efficiency

18. Looking Ahead • Expansion of northern surveillance and VHF communications • Expansion of GPS-based (RNAV) en route and approach procedures • Increased use of Polar Routes; Northern OTS • ADS-B and Multilateration implementation
