  1. ASAS THEMATIC NETWORK SECOND WORKSHOP MALMÖ, 6-8 OCTOBER 2003 AIRBUS France Simona CANU-CHIESA Cockpit HMI Designer ASAS what does it mean operationally? ON THE WAY TO ASAS……AIRBORNE TRAFFIC SITUATION AWARENESS, THE FIRST STEP

  2. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step • Airborne Separation Assistance System concept is based on delegation of manoeuvre to the crew. • On the way to ‘full’ separation delegation, several steps shall be considered. • Airborne Traffic Situation Awarenesshave to be consideredasthe first step. • Nowadays, separation delegation already exists: visual separation procedures is the most common one.

  3. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step • Traffic situation understanding is a first necessity for crew before accepting any responsibility concerning surrounding traffic. • Providing information on surrounding traffic may help crew to have a better understanding of situation.

  4. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step • Through Traffic Collision Avoidance System display crew actually have some information on surrounding traffic. • Even if TCAS is not designed for that purpose, crew derives this information to build a mental picture of surrounding traffic. Airborne Traffic Situation Awarenessis an operational need.

  7. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step • Several situations - called also applications - have been identified, depending on environment, phase of flight, airspace class, air traffic services, meteorological conditions, which may be gathered into three main categories: • Visual Separation Procedures aided by ATSAW • Enhanced Visual Acquisition for See and Avoid, • Enhanced Successive Visual Approaches, • Enhanced Visual Acquisition for Successive Take-Off, • Runway Occupancy Awareness, • Surface Traffic Awareness • Anticipation of Operations &Trajectories • Flight Operations Improvement • Blind Broadcast Operations • Enhanced-Traffic Information Broadcast by Aircraft

  16. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step RUNWAY OCCUPANCY AWARENESS • The application aims at preventing runway incursions, by providing information to the Crew of potential hazardous situations due to runway occupancy. • In order to support runway operations tasks, CDTI shall display runways and the concerned traffic. • It helps crew to visually acquire threatening traffic prior to possible avoidance maneuvers.

  17. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step • SURFACE TRAFFIC AWARENESS • This application provides the flight Crew with an enhanced traffic situational awareness on the airport surface for both taxi and runway operations. • The objectives are to improve safety (e.g. at taxiway crossings, or before entering a runway) and to reduce taxi time in particular during low visibility conditions or during night.

Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness Evaluations: Early Results AZA557 +15  AFR6512 +11 AFR257 A320 M 312 +12  • Pilots interviewed: <<We are going in the good direction>>. • Safety increased thanks to improved onboard surveillance. • See & Avoid improved thanks to the contextual information. • Visual acquisition improved on final approach. • Flight efficiency and performance optimized thanks to a better anticipation of flight operations. • Passengers comfort increase thanks to smooth flight performance

  21. ATSAW Operational Hazard Analysis 1. Operational Hazard List Enhanced See and Avoid : OH_S&A1 Loss of Enhanced See and Avoid. OH_S&A2 Untimely avoidance manoeuvre due to CDTI. OH_S&A3 Inadvertent Enhanced See and Avoid initiation. OH_S&A4 Possible continuation of Enhanced See and Avoid. Enhanced Successive Visual Approach on same runway : OHESVA1 ESVA application initiation failed. OHESVA2 Loss of ESVA application. OHESVA3 Infringement of separation by the trailer due to CDTI. OHESVA4 Continue to fly according to the clearance.

  23. ATSAW Operational Hazard Analysis 1.1.1. Exemple of of Operational Failure Scenario in Enhanced See and Avoid application OH_S&A2.Untimely avoidance manoeuvre due to CDTI. Display frozen or delayed. A conflicting a/c is present. The display of CDTI is frozen or delayed. The flight crew can not detect the conflicting a/c and will be misled to assess the traffic situation aided by CDTI. The ATC may also identify a conflicting situation and/or give traffic information. The flight crew will continue his flight plan. The flight crew may apply Rules of Air with delay after detection of the conflicting a/c by visual cross-acquisition, external traffic detection or TCAS alert. 1. The flight crew will continue his flight plan. 2. The ATC Controller may give Traffic information. 3. Possible infringe of separation. TCAS is operative and provides traffic advisories as necessary. Severity : 3 Significant reduction in safety margins. Significant increase in crew workload. Severity 4 with recommendations: Slight reduction in safety margins or aircraft functional capabilities.

  26. ATSAW Operational Hazard Analysis 1.2.1. Example of Operational Failure Scenario in ESVA application OHESVA3 Infringement of separation by the trailer due to CDTI. Misleading ADS-B data reception. The CDTI does not display the correct horizontal relative position of the target aircraft (misleading data reception, display). The flight crew is misled and may believe that the target is too far. The flight crew cross check between visual cues and misleading CDTI information, but it’s difficult to evaluate the relative distance. The flight crew may infringe separation minimum, to reduce target relative range. Visual minimum separation is ensured with target. 1. The flight crew will continue to fly according to the clearance. 1. The flight crew maintains visual contact with target. 2. No effect. 3. Possible loss of separation. TCAS is operative and provides traffic advisories as necessary. Severity : 3 Significant reduction in safety margins. Significant increase in crew workload. Severity 4 with recommendations: Slight reduction in safety margins or aircraft functional capabilities.

  27. Example of OPA - Enhanced Visual Acquisition for See and Avoid FG(EVA - SA) • The EVA-SA application assists flight crews to perform see and avoid tasks. It is particularly designed for Class D to G airspace. • It aims support them to visually acquire threatening traffic prior to possible avoidance manoeuvres. • Application aims • . The main purpose of this application is to increase the likelihood to earlier visually acquire threatening traffic in order to avoid potential conflict situation • . and nevertheless a conflict occur, to increase the probability to solve the conflict • . and decrease the time of conflict resolution

  28. Example of OPA - Enhanced Visual Acquisition for See and Avoid FG(EVA - SA) • In order to perform the OPA, it is provided a detailed description of each application. • This detailed description is performed via a modeling in which each application is described in terms of phases, sequences and actions. • The application is divided in four phases which are : • . Identification phase. • . Evaluation phase. • . Decision phase. • . Manoeuvre phase. • At each phase is associated the corresponding metric.

  29. Example of OPA - Enhanced Visual Acquisition for See and Avoid FG(EVA - SA) • The application is characterise by two metrics : • The probability of failure of the application (Pp). • The global time to realise the application (T).

  30. ASAS WHAT DOES IT MEAN OPERATIONALLY?On the way to ASAS...Airborne Traffic Situation Awareness, the first step CONCLUSIONS • Traffic situation understanding is a first necessity for crew before accepting any responsibility concerning surrounding traffic. • Airborne Separation Assistance System concept is based on delegation of manoeuvre to the crew. • On the way to ‘full’ separation delegation, several steps shall be considered and... ...AIRBORNE TRAFFIC SITUATION AWARENESS have to be considered as THE FIRST STEP !
