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
