5 1 Work Package Overview Work Package 05 was in charge of ensuring synchronisation, coherence and coordination of Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) operations, concept definition and validation within the SESAR Programme. This scope includes operation of a flight from take-off to the top of climb (departure) and from the top of descent to passing the runway threshold (arrival). The contribution of WP05 to the ATM Masterplan and the technical objectives for the WP as a whole are summarised in the next section. At management level the WP has ensured the activities were organised according to the overall programme guidelines and supported the consolidation of results at a higher level - for example the consolidation of performance benefits at SESAR Programme level. The WP has proposed updates of the CONOPS, datasets and ATM Master Plan. The WP was in addition responsible for the following specific activities: Manage coordination with other work packages (especially WP4 as En-Route Operations work package and WP10 as technical thread for ATC Tools) Support and develop the involvement of third parties Contribute to the programme governance with regular reports and act as the interface between projects and SJU on some topics Monitor and ensure the application and respect of the programme rules, recommendations and guidance Support the SJU in the communication and dissemination of TMA related results and achievements. 1.1 Work Package contribution to the Master Plan The principal objectives of the WP for developing and validating the concept proposed by the ATM Masterplan were: To develop an overall concept for TMA Operations which is consistent with the SESAR CONOPS (Concept Development); To define and coordinate validation activities across the WP to assess the proposed concept including assessment of operability, safety & performance assessment (Validation Strategy); To develop and validate the individual components (concept elements) for the TMA in a complete ATM environment. To support the output of the SESAR Programme by providing SESAR Solutions (validated concept requirements) to the next stage of development i.e. PCP scope, SESAR Deployment Manager. The TMA operational concept development has been closely coordinated, with WP4 and WP10 especially. Since the beginning of SESAR WP4 and WP5 have coordinated concept development activities to ensure consistency of the concepts across TMA and En-Route operations. WP10 has developed the ground system prototypes and related Technical Specifications to support the validation exercises. In order to manage the activities of projects working on closely linked concept elements the primary projects were grouped into Operational Focus Areas (OFA). These OFAs coordinate all activities - 5 of 13

6 concept development, validation platform development and validation - related to specific Operational Improvements. Projects have worked with each OFA as a combined team. The projects within with each OFA come from multiple work-packages. However each OFA was assigned to a specific WP for management purposes. WP05 had responsibility for OFAs: Optimised 2D/3D Routes (OFA ) ASAS Spacing (OFA ) Ground Based Separation Provision in the TMA (OFA ) Enhanced Arrival & Departure Management in TMA and En Route (OFA ) CWP En-Route and TMA (ENB ) WP05.00 has contributed to the development and validation of each of the Operational Improvements listed below during the course of the SESAR Programme. Given their operational role, the OFAs and primary projects have: - developed the operational concepts (defined in OSED documents), - devised and executed the validation activities appropriate to the target maturity level of the concept (e.g. real-time simulations) to provide Validation Reports - consolidated the requirements following the results of validation activities to form SPR reports which are key documents in the SESAR Solution data packages. Code Name WP contribution AOM-0702-A Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) This OI is based on progressive implementation of procedures for continuous descent for higher density traffic and to higher levels, to provide flight efficiency and predictability benefits. (Validated to V3) Solution #11 AOM-0705-A Continuous Climb Operations (CCO) This OI extends the concept and techniques from AOM-0702-A to provide continuous climbs for departing traffic. Validated partial V2 to Note: It is expected that this OI will be merged with the scope of AOM-0705-B in the DS16 update. AOM-0404 AOM-0603 AOM-0605 Optimised Route Network using Advanced RNP The concept uses Advanced-RNP navigation specification, design of optimised routes e.g spaced parallel routes, Fixed Radius Transition (FRT) and Tactical Parallel Offset (TPO) further enhanced by on-board performance monitoring and alerting and the execution of more predictable aircraft behaviour Enhanced Terminal Airspace for RNP-based Operations The OI introduces the Point Merge System (PMS) procedures in a multi-airport Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA). This new procedure design builds upon the P-RNAV concept for merging traffic into a single entry point, which allows efficient integration and sequencing of inbound traffic together with Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA). Enhanced terminal operations with automatic RNP transition to ILS/GLS/LPV The OI allows advanced transitions with curved procedures connecting directly to the final approach provide improved (Validated to V3) Solution #10 * Validated to V3 Solution #62 * (Validated to V3) Solution #9 * Solution #51 * 6 of 13

7 access in obstacle rich environments and reduce environmental impact. RNP transition to GLS & ILS final approaches. The improvement also includes enhanced terminal operations with LPV procedures in Low density/complexity (L/L) TMA/APP environments. CM-0206 Conflict Detection and Resolution in the TMA using trajectory data Validated Partial V2 to CM-0208-A CM-0606 Automated Ground Based Flight Conformance Monitoring in the TMA in Step 1 Separation Management in the TMA using Pre-defined Routes with 2D RNP Specifications Enhanced CD&R tools will allow better problem identification and resolution support, reducing the need for tactical ATC intervention. The controller will be relieved of routine workload through conformance monitoring tools which assist in maintaining situational awareness. Both are enabled by an improved ground trajectory prediction capability. Validated to V2 Validated to V1 CM-0304 Sector Team Operations Adapted to New Responsibilities in the TMA, 1 Planning to several Tactical Controllers team structure Validated Partial V2 to The concepts being proposed would allow operating in team structures that are not the usual Planner-Executive (1P-1E) twoperson ATC sector team. In particular, the combined role for Single Person Operations (SPO) and the Multi-Sector Planner (MSP) where a Planner has responsibility for the airspace under the executive control of two or more independent Executive Controllers (1P-nE) CM-0305 Sector Team Operations Adapted to New Responsibilities and Operating Procedures involving reduced Coordination in the TMA Validated Partial V2 to The proposed concept is based on ATC coordination by exception rather than the current practice of co-ordination by procedure. It is expected to be facilitated through advanced controller tools. TS-0303 TS-0302-A TS-0302-B TS-0307 Arrival Management into Multiple Airports The OI will improve the coordination of traffic flows into multiple airports in the same vicinity to enable smooth delivery to the runways. Support is given to controllers to balance demand on defined inbound routes where secondary airports in a TMA create additional complications. Departure Management Information from Multiple Airports (Advanced) Departure Management Information from Multiple Airports Integrated Arrival Departure Management for full traffic optimisation within the TMA airspace Collectively these OIs will enhance departure information to enable a more consistent and manageable delivery of departures into the En-Route phase of flight..

8 TS-0305-A TS-0103 Arrival Management Extended to En Route Airspace Single TMA By providing arrival management systems with flight progress at an earlier point (i.e. further from the destination) an enhanced and more consistent arrival sequence can be established. The system helps to reduce holding by absorbing some of the queuing time further upstream well into En-Route airspace. The solution provides ATM efficiency benefits. Controlled Time of Arrival (CTA) in medium density/complexity environment The CTA (Controlled Time of Arrival) is an ATM imposed time constraint on a defined point associated with an arrival runway, using airborne capabilities to improve arrival management. When a time constraint is needed for a flight, the ground system may calculate a CTA as part of the arrival management process, and then it may be proposed to the flight for achievement by avionics within required accuracy. Airborne information may be used by the ground system in determining the CTA (e.g. ETA min/max) and in monitoring the implementation of the CTA. Validated to V3 Solution #5 * (Validated to V3) Solution #6 TS-0305-B Arrival Management Extended to En Route Airspace - overlapping AMAN operations En-Route sectors are expected to contribute to the arrival sequencing towards multiple TMAs simultaneously with potentially conflicting sequencing constraints. The system integrates information from arrival management systems operating out to extended range with local traffic/sector information and balances the needs of each. Defined at V1 Maturity TS-0105-A TS-0108 Notes: ASAS Spacing - target direct to merge point (Speed/simple geometry) ASAS Spacing applications require the flight crew to achieve and maintain a given spacing (either precise or 'at or greater than') with a designated target aircraft which is flying either the same route or direct to a merge point (simple geometry) during the arrival and approach phases of flight. The spacing is measured by time. The applications envisaged are 'Remain Behind' and 'Merge Behind'. Although the flight crew is given a new task, separation provision is still the controller's responsibility and applicable separation minima are unchanged. ASAS Spacing - target not direct to a merge point (Speed and Lateral/more complex geometry) This OI will provide additional ASAS manoeuvres including lateral manoeuvres and involving more complex geometries (Validated to V3) Solution #16 Validate to V1 Maturity 1.

9 1.2 Work Package achievements The research and development work of WP05 has addressed multiple SESAR Solutions which will improve TMA operations. These solutions collectively offer significant ATM performance benefits across the range of TMA types including improved ATM & flight efficiency improvements, improved predictability, improved capacity and improved safety. One focus of WP05 has been the development of new procedures to better manage arrival traffic flows. Four SESAR Solutions in this area have been developed to E-OCVM V3 maturity, the point at which they can be considered for deployment. These cover Extended Arrival Management, the use of Controlled Time of Arrival, procedures for integrating several arrival sequences into multiple airports and the use of Airborne Separation techniques (ASAS) to manage arrival flows. The E-AMAN SESAR Solution is in the scope of PCP AF#1. The results offer improved predictability for flights and therefore improved stability of the arrival sequence. Collectively WP05 results indicate over 6% improvement in predictability. [Ref. #7] Another successful area of development has been the application of new navigation techniques and procedures such as RNP-based navigation procedures to provide benefits including improved predictability and ATM efficiency. This includes the development of procedures which offer more efficient flight profiles through continuous descent and continuous climb operations, and the optimisation of route networks. Five SESAR Solutions for the TMA based on new 2D/3D navigation capabilities have been delivered to E-OCVM V3 maturity. Three of these which relate to improving the transition from the arrival phase to final approach are in the scope of PCP deployment. Conflict Detection & Resolution tools have been designed for use in TMA airspace. The complex nature of TMA airspace is particularly challenging for automated controller tools. However the planned maturity point for these tools in the SESAR 1 programme has been reached for medium density / complexity environments (i.e. E-OCVM V2 maturity) with just a few additional concept elements remaining to be validated for the high density / complexity environment. It has been shown that CD&R tool support in the TMA is feasible, addressing the challenges for both medium and high density / complexity environments. The work in this area is planned to continue through SESAR 2020 to complete the industrial research and validation phase. Considering all WP05 contributions to TMA capacity, both mature validation results and the forecast benefits for CD&R tools in the TMA, an expected capacity improvement over 30% is forecast. [Ref. #7]. WP05 projects have also contributed to transversal topics which link operational work-packages. In particular a Trajectory Management Framework (TMF) has been developed between WP04 and WP05. This provides the basic structures and processes required for the creation, amendment and distribution of the Reference Business/Mission Trajectory (RBT/MT), which is a fundamental element of the SESAR concept. The TMF provides a common governance mechanism for Trajectory Management in the execution phase of flight (i.e. from take-off to landing) based on a complete, correct and coherent set of TM Services. 9 of 13

10 1.3 Work Package Deliverables The following table presents the relevant deliverables that have been produced by the Work Package management team (if any). Reference Title Description 5.0 D16 Work Package Management Plan - Ed D Work Package Risk Management Plan This deliverable is a management document for WP5 which defines the processes and responsibilities which have been applied to the management of WP5, in line with the overall SESAR Programme. This deliverable identified the key areas of risk for the WP and defined the management approach. 1.4 Contribution to Standards and Reference Material Projects within WP05 have contributed to standardisation activities where appropriate to their scope. The specific outcomes are documented in the solution data-packages which have been developed for each SESAR Solution listed above. In particular the concept development work done by WP05 operational projects has been closely coordinated with the Eurocae working groups for relevant standards. Project members have participated directly to Eurocae working groups and the SESAR validation results have contributed to refinement of draft Eurocae standards. Specifically WP05 has: - contributed to the refinement of the aircraft avionics standards relevant to the use of Controlled Time of Arrival to ensure the airborne capabililty aligns and supports the ATM concept being developed.(eurocae standard ED75, Working Group 85). - contributed to the joint Eurocae/RTCA WG51/SC-186 standardisation activities related to the ASAS Spacing Applications. The following standards are published: ED-195A: Safety, Performance and Interoperability Requirements Document for Airborne Spacing Flight-Deck Interval Management (ASPA-FIM) ED-236: Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) for Flight-deck Interval Management (FIM) For the use of advanced RNP navigation capabilities the WP has supported EASA in developing appropriate certification and operational approval documentation for both Advanced Required Navigation Performance (A-RNP) and Fixed Radius Transition (FRT) functionality. At the global level the WP has provided input to the ICAO Instrument Flight Procedures Panel (IFPP), the Air Traffic Management Operations Panel (ATMOPS), the Separation and Airspace Safety Panel (SASP) and the Flight Operations Panel (Flight Ops) to develop proposals for new navigation standards and procedures. WP05 has also supported wider SESAR programme coordination with the FAA for harmonising ATM research plans. Through the TMF activities the WP has actively contributed to the harmonisation of trajectory concepts with the FAA (CP3.1) and the development of the FIXM information model to support trajectory data exchange. The ASAS development has been harmonised with the FAA through CP4.3 in addition to direct Eurocae/RTCA collaboration. 10 of 13

11 1.5 Work Package Conclusion and Recommendations At the conclusion of the SESAR 1 Programme WP05.00 nine SESAR Solutions will have been delivered to E-OCVM maturity level 3, the point at which they can be considered ready for industrialisation and deployment. Collectively these Solutions contribute significantly to the SESAR goals of increasing efficiency, reducing emissions, improving capacity and improving safety, for TMA operations specifically and towards the overall ATM operation. Data Packages are available for all these Solutions: Four of the SESAR Solutions from WP05.00 have already been included in the scope of European Commission Implementing Regulation 716/ the Pilot Common Project. The deployment of these solutions will be supported by the SESAR Deployment Manager. It is recommended that the other SESAR Solutions which have achieved E-OCVM maturity level 3 should be considered for deployment by Air Navigation Service Providers and the ATM industry as a whole. They should also be considered by the SESAR Deployment Manager for inclusion in the scope of future Common Projects, though this should not be seen as a pre-requisite for their deployment. There is also a set of potential SESAR Solutions developed by WP05.00 which show significant potential for ATM benefits but which are not yet fully validated. It is recommended that the development and validation of these Solutions is continued to assess the benefits at V3 maturity level. It is noted that these Solutions have been proposed for inclusion in the SESAR 2020 programme scope. A particular focus for WP05.00 has been to ensure close coordination with other WPs (especially WP4 and WP10). It is clear from the SESAR 1 programme results that the ATM system must be treated as a whole. If not managed carefully the ATM benefits of a change in one area can be offset by negative effects elsewhere. The coordination between WPs has sought to ensure a holistic approach to providing ATM benefits. The E-AMAN Solution (#5) is a good example of an ATM improvement which is based on a collaborative approach, in this case between TMA and En-Route operations. The TMA concept of WP5 has also been closely integrated with WP06 (Airport Operations). It is recommended that future ATM R&D has a clear focus on coordination across ATM operations. A particular example of where coordination is essential is Trajectory Management. The tools and procedures for Trajectory Management need to support the whole ATM operation. WP05.00 and WP04.00 have jointly developed common principles for TM in the execution phase of flight. These ensure consistent use of the SESAR Reference Business Trajectory. This has also been coordinated with the SESAR activities linked to the planning phase but it is recommended that future ATM R&D objectives explicitly require a unified TM approach across all ATM phases. 11 of 13
