  1. AVIATION OPERATIONAL MEASURES FOR FUEL AND EMISSIONS REDUCTION WORKSHOP RVSM Implementation in Europe Chris Bouman Deputy RVSM Programme Manager EUROCONTROL Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  2. 24hr EUR Air Traffic Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  3. EUR RVSM overview (1) • 6 additional flight levels between FL290 and FL410 • 1000ft VSM, as already <FL290 • Main benefits (14:1 benefit/cost ratio): • airspace capacity • less fuel burn • delay reduction • 41 States, 9400 airframes, 2300 aircraft operators Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  4. EUR RVSM overview (2) Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  5. RVSM in operation since24 January 2002 Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  6. Implementation elements • ATC System modifications • Airspace adaptations • Aircraft Modifications and Approvals • ATC & Flight Crew training • Safety Case (incl. monitoring) • Awareness Activities!! Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  7. Implementation Time Scales • ICAO work started in 1960’s • ICAO Implementation Principles agreed early 1990’s • RVSM implemented in NAT in 1997 • Completion of EUR RVSM initial feasibility work: June’97 • Master Plan approved April’99 • Implementation January’02 Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  8. Implementation Issues • Endorsement implementation date • Programme Structure (41 States, 2300 operators, EUROCONTROL, ICAO, JAA, IFATCA, IFALPA, etc) • Time scales a/c approvals & ATC system upgrades • Simulations, LoA’s, ATC training • Set up Monitoring Infrastructure • Legal enablers (ICAO, State legislation) Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  9. Implementation 24 Jan’02 • Smooth introduction • Some flight planning aspects • No RVSM specific TCAS or Wake Vortex issues • Performance of some aircraft types in question • Gradually all operators taking advantage • Full benefits expected over summer Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  10. Benefits of RVSM • 6 extra flight levels available • optimisation of airspace structure • improved ATS route network • more than 20 new sectors created • ATC capacity increase Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  11. RVSM BEH* * Brussels East High sector Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  12. Flight Level Re-distribution Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  13. Fuel & Emission aspects • Taking advantage of operating more often, more close to optimum levels • Studies: conservative estimate: average 80kg fuel saving per flight in RVSM • 10,000 flight daily in EUR RVSM  yearly saving 290,000 tons  yearly 913,500 tons less CO2  yearly 4,350 tons less NOx Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002

  14. Benefit assessment • Main 1st benefits expected over Summer’02 • Co-operation with operators • 1st indications confirm anticipated fuel benefits • Capacity benefits in co-operation with Capacity Enhancement Function (CEF) Air Traffic Management Panel Madrid 21-22 May 2002
