ATM State of the Art

Dr. Anton Walsdorf International Cooperation, Airbus Technology Evolution – Impact on Airworthiness 23-24 September 2014, Windhoek, Namibia

Air Traffic Management on the verge of deep structural changes

Transformation of the industry Horizontal “integration” of incumbent ANSPs regardless of State boundaries (FAB)

Deregulation of Tower & Ground Control at airports

Revisions of “Make or Buy” policies

Holistic transformation of operations Redistribution of roles & responsibilities between the ground and the aircraft

Among stakeholders (Air Navigation Service Providers, Airports, Airspace Users)

Amplification & intensification of information exchanges

Not limited to “western countries” BRIC countries & emerging economies to cope with traffic growth & efficiency

RoW to catch up and maintain / increase competence & image

Bottlenecks to foster changes

Performance transformation ICAO Aviation System Block Upgrade

SESAR / NEXTGEN Technology programs

Cost effectiveness, Capacity, Eco-Efficiency, while not compromising Safety

Airbus motivation in ATM

ATM is a key (today limiting) factor to Growth of air transport.

• 1% growth in Europe equals 100 A/C sales

• Airlines profitability (reducing ATM inefficiencies and cost)

• Growing environmental pressure (noise and emissions)

• Significant Impact on CNS avionics of all fleets linked to future ATM (forward & retro fit)

Airbus is willing to take part in the definition of the next Generation Air Traffic Management System(s) which will require more interactions and cooperation between the aircraft and the ground (ex: 4D traj.).

Objectives are:

• Future operational concept to make the best use of existing & future aircraft capabilities

• Future aircraft capabilities to match the future operational concept

• Synchronisation of Air and Ground development / deployment

Airbus is particularly concerned by global ATM interoperability.

• Airbus aircraft are operating worldwide

Transforming ATM performance tomorrow

Today: air traffic control imposing a lot of constraints to the airlines operations

ATC ground based Decision not optimizing flight profile =increasing fuel burn.

Imprecision of navigation requiring large separations and reservations of airspace =limiting airspace capacity.

Non automated procedures increasing air traffic controllers work load =higher complexity and costs.

Lack of information on traffic prediction increasing air traffic controller uncertainty =more ATFM restrictions.

Future: New technologies and a constant dialogue between ground and board allowing a better balance between Airlines expectations and ATC requirements.

Trajectory Management taking into account air traffic control and airlines operations performance objectives =less fuel burn

Performance Based navigation optimizing use of airspace (enhanced capacity) and performance oriented procedures (higher efficiency)

Shared decision making and greater automation reducing air traffic controllers workload =better efficiency and lower costs.

Shared information on traffic prediction = less delays.

SESAR Programme Phases

2012

ASBU Block 0 – Airbus perspectives

ICAO ASBU blocks must be the reference for Worldwide harmonisation of ATM modernisation programs, e.g. Sesar, NextGen, …

Aviation community buy-in in ICAO ASBU blocks should create the momentum for the supporting Industrial investment

Airbus fully supports the ICAO Aviation System Blocks Upgrade

The Block 0 is the foundation for ATM modernisation, and will pioneer new ATM deployment process
