    12. AIM Unit The AIS is operated in compliance with ICAO regulation Managed processes, using automated systems, for production of the full Integrated Aeronautical Information Package (IAIP), namely: Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) AIP Amendments AIP Supplements Aeronautical Information Circulars (AIC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Pre-flight Information Bulletin (PIB)

    13. The Study Call for tender issued through the Official Journal of European Communities (OJEC) Requested: Study on the provision of aeronautical information for the European Upper Flight Information Region (EUIR) Issued in April 2003 Bids submitted by 4th June 2003 Contract awarded 13th October 2003 Contract signed 8th December 2003

    14. The Study What was stated: “In the context of the legislative proposals on the Single European Sky, the European Commission has proposed to establish a single European Upper Flight Information Region (EUIR) to overcome the fragmentation in airspace. A consequence of this is the development of a single aeronautical information publication relating to the EUIR”

    15. Scope of Study The Study has a clearly defined scope which is to address the provision of Aeronautical Information for the European Upper-Flight Information Region (EUIR). But, The solutions, and recommendations made, should also be suitable for a possible extension to Lower Airspace Although the study is for the provision of Aeronautical Information, the collection and processing of data must be considered Must be compliant with ICAO SARPS Recognition of existing investments must be made No re-inventing the wheel!

    16. The Stakeholders It is important to us to ensure that we involve all stakeholders A successful outcome to this study is a way forward that will be acceptable to: European Commission EUROCONTROL SES States Stakeholders To achieve this we have identified the following as being affected by the study:

    17. The Stakeholders AIS Providers Chart producers Navigation database providers Flight planners Airline operators Air Navigation Service Providers General Aviation Military Airport operators Government Interested parties

    18. Communications In order for us to ensure that we can share information we have established the following: A web-site on which we will publish all publicly available material: www.stasys.co.uk/euir An E-mail address to which you can send your comments and ideas: euir.aip@stasys.co.uk

    19. The Work Packages The study is broken down into three Work Packages: Current Situation Possible ways ahead and recommendation Development of selected way ahead Each will be supported by a workshop The draft Phase 3 report will be made available to stakeholders during June 2004 The final report will be delivered to the European Commission by the end of August 2004

    20. Work Package 1 A survey and review of existing material Mainly focused upon: Regulation, Standards, Practices and Requirements: Single European Sky legislation The actors involved Interoperability Data types and features Review of Planned Developments and Initiatives: Inside and outside Europe Harmonisation and Standardisation EUROCONTROL ATM 2000+ Strategy, AIM Strategy, EAD and AIS AHEAD

    21. Current Situation A State has the responsibility for all information relating to the territory of that State This aeronautical information is published by either: By the State By its delegated authority ATS routes are designed around a relatively small number of co-ordination points A more complex route structure than necessary This may lead to reductions in the efficiency of airspace

    22. Relevant Documents The provision of aeronautical information is governed by a number of ICAO documents, including: Annex 4: Aeronautical Charts Annex 15: Aeronautical Information Services Guidance is published in ICAO Doc 8126 and Doc 8697 Additionally, EUROCONTROL has provided further material regarding the processing and publication of Aeronautical Information, including: Operational Procedures for AIS Dynamic Data (OPADD) The AIS Data Process (ADP) The Static Data Procedures (SDP)

    23. Issues The Study will also identify the likely issues to be encountered in providing Aeronautical Information for the EUIR These will be used to assist in development of the later Work Packages Issues identified to date, include: Legislation Liability Language Timeliness Ownership Charging

    24. Work Package 2 Mr Andrej Pener LPS Head of International NOTAM Office

    25. Work Package 2 Here an assessment is made of: The different possible solutions for the implementation of the EUIR and the provision of its aeronautical information The advantages / disadvantages of each possible solution How the issues addressed in Work Package 1 will affect each solution

    26. Airspace Structure

    27. This model shows that there are three basic elements to the structure: TMA Lower Airspace Upper Airspace Divided into Functional Blocks of Airspace (FBA) Some Aeronautical Information applies to more than one block E.g. an En-Route NAVAID located in a State may for navigation in both upper and lower airspace as well as for navigation over another States’ territory

    28. The provision of Aeronautical Information for each of these basic blocks could be provided in a number of ways The most simple approach is to do nothing and stay as we are today. A State would publish the information for all elements of its airspace The study shall address whether this meets the requirements of the Single European Sky legislation

    29. A radical approach would be for a single body to collect, process and publish the information for all elements of European airspace This would see a single AIS for the whole of Single European Sky airspace Such an approach would achieve the aims of the Single European Sky, but may introduce: Issues with the high number of Data Originators with which the body must liaise Language problems The body may not have sufficient knowledge of the local infrastructure Timeliness (AIRAC Adherence)

    30. These two options may be seen as the opposite ends of a scale of possible solutions Between these are many different options which will be addressed by the Study A example solution that could be considered is that: A State collects, processes and publishes all data relating to the TMA and Lower Airspace A single body collects, processes and publishes all information relating to the EUIR The challenge for all us of is to identify the appropriate course of action

    31. Recommendation The final work to be undertaken as part of Work Package 2 is to assess each of the possible solutions and to make a recommendation of the best way forward This recommendation will be determined taking due account of stakeholder feedback

    32. Work Package 3 Mr Peter Green STASYS Business Area Manager for ATM & Airports

    33. Work Package 3 Work Package 3 involves the development of the recommended solution such that it may be implemented The work to be undertaken will be dependent upon the solution selected However, work will include: Further development and detailing of the solution Full assessment of the impacts of implementation Development of implementation legislation

    34. Topics that will be addressed in this implementation plan include: Institutional and Regulative Issues, e.g. Cohabitation with national AIPs Establishment of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) Service Level Agreements External Monitoring and Quality Assurance Intellectual Property Rights Financing, including: Costs, Charging & Funding Responsibility Safety

    35. Operational and Technical Issues Concept of Operations Technical Operations Means of distribution/dissemination Availability Qualification and competencies of Operational Staff Continuity of Service Data Issues Standards and Formats of Data Collection and Collation of Data Traceability

    36. Legislation: Study approach consistent with EC regulatory process requirements Identify any additional legislative requirements necessary for the implementation of the EUIR AIP

    37. Questionnaire A Questionnaire has been sent to establish the current situation regarding the provision of aeronautical information throughout Europe Distributed by the European Commission Many of you will probably have seen this already A copy of this is available today Your responses are key to gaining a thorough understanding of the issues likely to be encountered Many States have already replied – thank you

    38. Questionnaire Mainly addresses the organisational issues, rather than operational Why is this? Establish dialogue Identify the correct person to liaise with Gain a broad understanding of how aeronautical service is provided and regulated within each State Enable us to ask further specific questions later If you have not seen the questionnaire and would like to complete one – please do so Electronic copies can be provided on request

    39. Closure Thank you for your time and attention If you have any further questions or wish to provide information for inclusion in the study please e-mail to: euir.aip@stasys.co.uk Thank you

    40. Coffee Coffee is provided in the lobby outside During this time, if you have any further questions, please record them on the sheets provided After the break we will answer as many questions as possible given the time constraints
