He briefly spoke about the need for States to come together to sort out mutual issues and improve the collaboration leading to the implementation of ambitious, but beneficial programmes such as Seamless ATM. He also mentioned that many ANS initiatives undertaken by are providing huge benefits to the users and touched upon the 3

5 urgent requirement to harmonize the initiatives in the cluster of nation in BOBASIO region He mentioned that is committed to the implementation of Seamless ATM and also appropriate ASBU Block upgrades, to be ready to meet the challenges of a growing demand in the region. With the successful implementation of upper airspace harmonization in Chennai, which resulted in huge fuel savings for airlines, he said that all pre-requisites to/enablers of the Upper Airspace Harmonization in the other three n FIRs are being addressed and by the first half of 2014 the entire n upper airspace harmonization would be completed. As a host, he wished the foreign delegates a comfortable stay in Hyderabad, the land of pearls, palaces and Nizams and the meeting a success In a special address, Mr. Len Wicks, the Regional Officer, ICAO APAC, welcomed all the delegates to the third ATS Coordination meeting of the BOBASIO region and congratulated for the successful conduct of the first and second BOBASIO meeting. He made a special mention that such meetings acted as a catalyst in bringing about quick and welcome changes and provided excellent solutions to ATM issues pending to be resolved between two or more nations. He expressed confidence that the deliberations will lead to major improvements in the BOBASIO region and in turn these will contribute to overall improvements in the Asia Pacific Region. He observed that the participation of States which neighbor the BOBASIO region from the MID and the EASAF region including Seychelles and Somalia to deliberate on some important ATM issues with the representatives of Mumbai and AAI CHQ was a very positive move and appreciated the host for encouraging such participation. He wished the meeting success The General Manager (ATM) Hyderabad, Mr. I.N. Murthy proposed a vote of thanks at the end of the inaugural session.

8 2. REPORT OF THE MEETING 2.1 AGENDA ITEM NO. 1 ADOPTION OF AGENDA The first working paper entitled Adoption of Provisional Agenda, was proposed by the BOBASIO/3 Secretariat. The meeting unanimously adopted the agenda, paving way to further discussions as planned, proposed and adopted. 2.2 AGENDA ITEM 2 - OUTCOMES OF BOBASIO/2 MEETING The second working paper entitled Outcome of BOBASIO/2 Meeting was presented by the Secretariat and taken up for discussion. This paper presented a brief review along with outcome of the Second Meeting of Bay Of Bengal, Arabian Sea and n Ocean Region (BOBASIO/02) held at Chennai, The meeting noted the outcome of the second ATS coordination meeting BOBASIO/2. The meeting agreed to have a tracking mechanism for follow up of action items. It was agreed that updates on action items would be provided by the States/ANPs/Organisations as proceedings would progress. In order to resolve bilateral/multilateral agreements, the meeting agreed to form three Sub Working Groups (SWGs) in which States/ANSPs/Organisations may conveniently discuss any pending issues of critical importance under agenda item number AGENDA ITEM 3: REVIEW OF APAC SEAMLESS ATM PLAN AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION Asia Pacific Seamless ATS Plan and Implementation Strategies (WP/03): AAI presented a background on how the Seamless ATM Concept was developed by the Asia Pacific Seamless ATM Planning Group. It also presented highlights of the APAC Seamless ATM Plan. urged the BOBASIO States to study the plan and in accordance with the requirements outlined in the plan, review version 1.0 of the Asia/Pacific Seamless ATM Plan, utilize the plan to develop planning for State implementation of applicable Seamless ATM elements and also ensure that 7

9 relevant decision-makers are briefed on the Seamless ATM Plan and based on consultation, submit the first Regional Seamless ATM reporting form to the ICAO Regional Office by the 1 st March mentioned that the States should consider participating and contributing to Seamless ATM system collaborative training and research initiatives noted that certain key issues need to be discussed on a multilateral platform and only with cooperation from adjacent States would it be possible to develop Seamless ATM across the region The meeting noted the development of the Seamless ATM Plan and its highlights and agreed to comply with the requirement to provide comments through the regional seamless ATM reporting form to the ICAO Regional Office by the 1 st March, The meeting also appreciated the need for collaborative efforts in the creation of a Seamless ATM environment in the sub-region and the region progressively and placed on record s role in conducting the seminar on seamless ATM on the 21 st October, 2013 at the same venue Seamless ATM Plan presentation by ICAO: For the benefit of the member States which could not participate in the Seamless ATM workshop conducted at Hyderabad, on the 21 st October, 2013, the Regional Officer ATM from ICAO, Mr. Len Wicks provided a presentation on the ICAO APAC Seamless ATM Plan. This plan had been endorsed by APANPIRG/24 earlier in The presentation touched upon several areas of interest to the BOBASIO meeting, including the interoperability issues between OLDI (On-Line Data Interchange) used by Oman and AIDC (ATS Inter-facility Data Communications) used by Delegates were provided with a brief summary of the key Seamless ATM Plan elements from the Plan s Preferred Aerodrome/Airspace and Route Specifications (PARS) and Preferred ATM Service Levels (PASL). Delegates that attended the Seamless ATM Seminar/Workshop on 20 October were provided with more in-depth information on the same elements. 8

10 It was noted that there was Seamless ATM Guidance Material available on the Regional Office web site, under APAC edocuments at In the early planning for effective implementation of Seamless ATM, the meeting noted that there were three key areas of focus that required a close engagement with: top decision-makers and regional bodies to ensure that Seamless ATM Planning was supported politically, and resourced appropriately; military agencies to establish enhanced civil/military cooperation; and ATS managers, staff and unions, to ensure all parties understood the benefits of Seamless ATM to Air Navigations Service Providers (ANSPs) and those actually delivering the services Two key aspects of Seamless ATM implementation were in the areas of human performance, and the correct operational environment. The promotion of ATS surveillance-based separations instead of procedural standards was recognised as important to reduce procedural mismatches and reduce ATC workload. The application of Just Culture and an open ( no blame ) reporting culture, would ensure that human error was managed in a modern context States, ANSPs and aircraft operators (civil and military) were urged to start Seamless ATM Planning now, in order to align objectives and milestones with other States in the region. The presentation concluded with a serious note that without effective regional Seamless ATM implementation, there would be a significant economic and environmental penalty, as well as safety implications The meeting appreciated the presentation provided by the ICAO Regional Officer and agreed to collaboratively achieve the objectives of the ICAO Seamless ATM plan. 9

11 2.4 AGENDA ITEM 4 - BOBASIO REGION SEAMLESS ATM PLAN STATUS & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES s Proposal towards establishment of sub-regional/regional ATFM (WP/04) This WP described the outcomes of ATFM Steering Group 1 and 2 meetings and the deliverables including the APAC ATFM Concept of Operations and ATFM Communication handbook. A Global ATFM Manual has been submitted to the ICAO Assembly 38 as Doc 9971 Part II, by a team of experts constituted for the purpose The meeting took note of the outcomes of the ATFM SG-2 meeting. is in the process of implementing ATFM on a nationwide basis in a phased manner and intends to develop capabilities in supporting sub-regional ATFM system. foresees gradual development of harmonized upper airspaces spanning across many States as small volumes of airspace without adequate ATM infrastructure will be having difficulties in the development of ATFM systems/activities in the near future. This would require a proactive and participatory framework to develop solutions for a seamless flow of air traffic. Collaborative efforts are required between many States to build such platforms which eventually will develop into a sub-regional and regional ATFM framework It was noted by the meeting that a comprehensive study of various ATFM measures is required to understand the interoperability issues also proposed to initiate studies on traffic flow management across two major traffic flows viz., a) East- West flow from Indonesia-Malaysia- and Muscat b) East-West flow from Myanmar-Bangladesh- and Pakistan requested support from the members for such imitative, including inter alia the exchange of strategic and tactical information about flights, airspace data, weather information, airport data etc The meeting also noted s efforts in developing ATFM in and their proposal for ATFM measures across the MTF. 10

12 The session Chairman wanted to know about the sharing of ATFM development details from Indonesia and urged and Indonesia to share their ATFM development with each other so that it will be helpful in building a larger mosaic. and Indonesia expressed their willingness to coordinate closely and share their plan Mumbai A-CDM team informed the meeting that their A-CDM is fully automated and they are ready for integration with n ATFM. Mr. Sylvester Israel who presented the paper, said that both Delhi and Mumbai A-CDM modules will be taken into consideration at an appropriate time of ATFM implementation in Singapore supported s call for collaboration and expressed their willingness to share their experiences. Singapore also mentioned that a tripartite project involving Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore has embarked on a collaborative approach to a sub-regional ATFM/CDM concept. The commonalty of ATM issues, type and volumes of air traffic managed, similar tropical weather conditions drive the collaboration Singapore further apprised that there was an ongoing information sharing trial involving the three ANSPs which aims to impart predictability and confidence into operations through enabling common situational awareness. The post-trial analysis was envisaged by end The proof of concept research project supported by Airbus Prosky was being undertaken as a sub-regional ATFM proof of concept study which involves industry stakeholders. The project will include concept analysis, exploration, development and a benefit analysis to strengthen the business case for such a sub regional concept. The Fast Time and Human in the Loop (HITL) will be conducted on a simulation test bed at the Singapore Aviation Academy. The findings of this will be shared in ATFM steering meeting scheduled in expressed its views that the input was encouraging and sought to learn from this tripartite model by requesting Singapore and its partners to share their experience. He thanked Singapore for mentoring in its effort to establish an EMA (BOBASMA) and expressed his confidence that Singapore will share its experience on the sub regional ATFM proof of concept study with. He also mentioned that is keen to enter into a partnership with Thailand, and expressed that the BOBCAT system inputs may be vital for the n ATFM to regulate major East-West air traffic flows. 11

13 2.4.2 Use of ADS B Data for Monitoring Aircraft Height Keeping Performance (WP/05): BOBASMA, the n EMA, presented this paper detailing the capability of, in the near future after the approval from the DGCA, for the operational use of ADS-B, to monitor aircraft height-keeping performance using aircraft geometric height derived from ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) reports, which includes aircraft geometric height, which is a key component in the ASE estimation process The paper brought out the safety hazard introduced by aircraft altimetry system error (ASE) and the requirement to closely monitor the difference between the observed flight level by the pilot and ATS and the actual height of the aircraft. It detailed Annex 6 global RVSM long-term monitoring requirements for all airspace where RVSM is applied, in order to ensure that the implementation and continued application of RVSM meets safety objectives. Both Air services Australia and FAA conducted joint research to validate the use of ADS-B data in calculating ASE. It was determined that the ADS-B data processing was fast enough to allow routine heightkeeping performance monitoring of ADS-B equipped airframes and the calculated ASE values were sufficiently accurate and consistent to be used as a basis for an aircraft height-keeping performance monitoring program. Separation and Airspace Safety Panel (SASP) and the Regional Monitoring Agencies Coordination Group (RMACG) have endorsed the use of ADS-B geometric height as a means of ASE calculation The paper proposed that since all major traffic flows of the BOBASIO region pass through the Continental airspace, the availability of ADS-B data from the 21 ADS-B ground stations in will enable the Regional Monitoring Agency, MAAR to undertake monitoring of RVSM approved aircraft registered not only in but also those registered in other states of the region, without imposing any specific operational requirement on aircraft to overfly a ground-based system or fit a GMU for on-board data collection The meeting took note the significance of the n ADS-B data in reducing the monitoring burden and requested to update them and MAAR regarding the effective date of implementation of ADS-B in. requested ICAO to explore the possibility of requiring FAA and ASA to share the tools that they employ in validating the use of ADS-B data in calculating ASE. The ICAO representative 12

14 answered in the affirmative and said that these agencies are committed to improving safety through such monitoring and will be more than willing to share the technical know-how. The RASMAG Secretary advised the meeting that USA had already made the tool freely available, and Australia had offered support to Asia/Pacific States on ADS-B monitoring The Cathay Pacific airline representative Owen Dell informed the meeting that as an operator, this activity of height keeping monitoring is extremely useful. He said ADS-B permits continual airframe by airframe picture of the geometric height and the Mode-C derived altitude information and congratulated on the usefulness of the paper presented. He urged the member States that the region can compile together such data and send it to MAAR for useful analysis PBN Implementation in the sub-region through collaboration (WP/06): This paper presented by provided details on implementation of, PBN RNAV-1 SID & STAR in terminal area and PBN based RNP-10, RNAV-5 city-pair ATS routes in en-route phase. The paper mentioned that the PBN SID & STAR are being designed to facilitate Continuous Climb Operations (CCO)/Continuous Descent Operations (CDO)and that these initiatives have provided noteworthy environmental benefits. It also brought out that RNAV-1/RNP-1 SIDs and STARs at 10 international airports have been implemented to date AAI was also involved in the development of PBN procedures at defense airports and has collaborated with the n Navy to implement PBN procedures at Goa airport. Cdr. V.K. Dagar, Joint Director, n Navy appreciated AAI for providing assistance in developing PBN procedures for Goa Airport. He mentioned that the PBN procedures would provide immense benefits to civil flights operating at Goa airport The paper also invited Neighboring States and to work together in jointly developing PBN RNAV-5 routes and arrival/departure procedures to form a seamless network of PBN routes and arrival/departure procedures in the sub-continent Mr. Azad Zahirul Islam, Director, ATS CAAB informed that ICAO Regional Sub Office, Beijing is committed to support Bangladesh through an MOU between these two organizations. Bangladesh informed that Emirates Airlines would also extend their support in developing and validating the PBN Procedures. 13

15 informed that AAI is ready to provide assistance to neighboring States in PBN Implementation n Airspace & Air Route Changes (WP13) This paper presented an insight on the new ATS Routes introduced since BOBASIO/2 The paper highlighted the successful upper airspace harmonization of Chennai FIR including the vertical consolidation in contingent situations by Lower ACCs and the plan to complete the UAH of the other three n FIRs by 2014, with a planned migration to Class A categorization in the Upper airspace. The paper also mentioned about the introduction of L 518 which provided connectivity to Hyderabad from the APAC South East Asian States; L875 connectivity to Mangalore, Bengaluru and Chennai and L 756 connectivity to Male from Seychelles FIR (ICAO EASAF States) and the excellent cooperation and timely coordination between and Male which made it possible to simultaneously promulgate the segments of the ATS Route L756 falling in the two FIRs There also was a mention of the RNAV 5 city pairs introduced and their design facilitating optimum flight profiles through CCO and CDO. A RNAV 5 city pair between Delhi and Srinagar, the meeting was briefed, was likely to be cleared by the IAF under FUA in near term mentioned through the paper its adherence to FUA principles and the creation of Temporary Reserved Areas and Temporary Segregated Areas on SUA requests, and shall henceforth create flexible airspace structures. also briefed IATA that AAI has examined their request to convert some of the domestic routes to international routes to provide access to these airports without any ambiguity or a need to clarify the availability of domestic routes detailed the meeting regarding its RNAV 2 plans and extended an invitation to its neighbors to create a joint mechanism to design cross border RNAV 5 and RNAV 2 city pairs. It also mentioned that the TLS studies for RNAV 2, to be implemented by Q2 2014, will be performed by BOBASMA. Bangladesh expressed its willingness to engage in a purposeful joint airspace design exercise that had proposed The ICAO representative appreciated the paper and mentioned that it included elements of almost a strategic plan and appreciated the excellent civil military 14

16 coordination and BOBASMA s role in the migration from RNAV 5 to RNAV 2 which he expected to help capacity building and smooth flow of traffic. The IATA representative Prashant Sanglikar, was appreciative of the effort to convert some of the W routes between international airports within and said that this move will help international flight planning. He also urged to implement 30 NM longitudinal separation in the entire airspace. briefed IATA that migration to depends on aircraft equipage. Mr. Len Wicks wanted the States to explore the possibility of declaring its ability to apply 30NM on opportunity basis and use it at least on crossing tracks, as he endorsed IATA and expressed faith that if one country leads, the others will follow. He also opined that declaring airspace to its ATM capability should be considered, it is non-exclusive type of airspace classification that means aircraft not meeting the requirements can also utilize the airspace. The move will help both pilots and controllers. He urged to follow up the task of joint routes design and stated that such initiatives are extremely important and the States ought to collaborate for mutual benefit Malaysia stated that they have is a plan to restructure Kuala Lumpur FIR in near future taking into account of PBN application and will factor in the purposed establishment of RNP 4 routes in the Bay of Bengal to support 30/30 NM separation. This would be done through engagement of a consultant and mentioned that if there is a need for consultative process, they would do so immediately. thanked Malaysia for the endorsement and requested Jakarta to undertake an exercise with Implementation of Flexible Use of Airspace in (WP/14) , through this paper, detailed the significant progress made in the implementation of Flexible Use of Airspace and the constitution of the National High Level Airspace Policy Body. The paper also detailed the excerpts of the FUA implementation Road map and listed the activities to be undertaken and the bodies to be constituted under the three levels of ASM, including the creation of Airspace Management Cells at the ASM level 2 and the plans to integrate the National AMC and the Central Command Centre of the Central ATFM likely to be in place in The paper also highlighted the cooperation of the n Navy authorities in reducing the upper limit of an SUA which has led to the introduction of a RNAV 5 city pair along the west coast of, connecting as many as 7 international airports including, Mumbai, Trivandrum and Cochin. 15

17 The meeting noted the importance of conducting airspace audits (reviews). was already operating a National Airspace Management Cell in New Delhi, which would be incorporated into the new Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) operation. IATA asked if the meeting could involve Pakistan and Afghanistan to improve the use of Flexible Use Airspace (FUA) principles in the airspace of those States. The ICAO representative mentioned that the regional office may try and bring this point in a special coordination meeting, between, Afghanistan and Pakistan, whenever it takes place Malaysia shared its support on this issue and informed the meeting that they believed that this is the way to move forward in managing the airspace to fulfil both civil and military requirement. Their good relationship has been reflected through the establishment of conditional route for civil use through military airspace and managing military activities within the heavy traffic in Kuala Lumpur TMA Proposal to introduce 30 NM Reduced Longitudinal Separation in BOBASIO Airspace (WP/15) This paper, was presented by, wherein the meeting was apprised about the development of dissolving the BOBRHSTF in 2012 and the delegation of the residual tasks to the South Asia/n Ocean ATM Coordination Group (SAIOACG), which is chaired by Mr. Sylvester Israel from. The paper mentioned that it would be appropriate to the States present to explore the possibility of achieving the objectives of implementing RNP 4 PBN specifications within the Bay of Bengal area and the Oceanic area of the Mumbai FIR. The paper brought out the fact that the phased implementation of 50 NM RHS in the BOBASIO airspace taking into consideration the constraints of all member States involved has given enough experience to the policy makers within the individual ANSPs on the issues involved in planning and implementing uniform separation standards over airspaces covering more than one member State. Therefore, proposes that before embarking on a project to implement 30:30 (Reduced longitudinal and reduced lateral separation), which would require a complete redrawing/restructuring of the RNP routes in the entire airspace, the introduction of a 30 NM reduced longitudinal separation on the existing RNP routes in a phased manner should help in steady progress to reducing the lateral separation to 30 NM. 16

18 An analysis of the existing RNP10 routes in the airspace shows that four routes M300, N571, P570 & P574 which traverse the entire BOBASIO airspace in an east - west direction over an average distance of 2050 NM and an average flying time of 4Hours 30 Minutes, cater to medium density traffic and are used by long haul aircrafts flying between airports in South east Asia and the Middle east & Europe. Even if other adjoining states are not in a position to provide 30 NM RLS within their FIRs, aircraft on these routes could still benefit if 30 NM RLS is provided within the n airspace, as the distance flown across the n FIRs of Chennai & Mumbai accounts for a major portion of their flying time The paper stated s readiness to implement 30 NM reduced longitudinal separation on these four routes as a first step towards full implementation of 30:50 Horizontal separation and urged States to the west and east of, especially Oman, Malaysia and Indonesia to implement the 50 NM reduced longitudinal separation introduced in in both letter and spirit to enhance the benefits of a uniform application of separation standard across the entire BOBASIO airspace. It also urged IATA to sensitize airline operators to equip aircraft with FANS/1A data link capability ICAO appreciated s concern and urged States involved to expeditiously address the issue. It also encouraged to think of airspace within which on opportunity basis (RCP, RNP satisfying) it may apply 30NM longitudinal separation instead of application of such minima on specific airways. Moreover, the standard could be utilised on conventional routes flown by PBN aircraft, and did not need to wait until adjacent FIRs declared capability for 30NM x 30NM. He also wanted to avoid the usage of the phrase reduced separation Malaysia stated that they had continuing glitches in their ADS-C and CPDLC system after the system was integrated with the main system, leaving them to rely on the standalone which has limited capability which has effaced them in implementation of 50 NM more robustly. Their attempt to adopt on DCPC via VHF is not successful due to limitations on part of reception. Usages of ADS/CPDLC with continued problems are affecting the implementation of 50NM x 50NM separation in the Kuala Lumpur FIR. The members agreed to address the issue by referring the matter to their appropriate authority. 17

19 2.4.7 ADS B Implementation and Data Sharing (WP/16) in its paper on ADS-B emphasized that it is committed to seamless ATM and has committed its willingness for resource sharing at ICAO meetings. In the SITF/11 and BOBASIO/2 meetings as well as APANPIRG/22 and APANPIRG /23 expressed its willingness to share ADS-B data with Myanmar, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia. It also added that the process to obtain regulatory approval has commenced and Stake holder meetings have been conducted in Dec, 2012 and Jan, 2013 to detail the business case and to spread the awareness about the mutual benefits that will accrue to both the ANSP and the Airline Operators by their participation. AAI mentioned that it is leaving no stone unturned in its effort for early ADS-B implementation and its ADS-B Seminar on 25th October 2013 immediately after BOBASIO meeting with the support of IATA through their member airlines for the benefit of all stake holders is expected to yield key result in ADS-B implementation. The paper also mentioned that the n ANSP has already commenced the process of acquiring approval from the Government and Regulatory agencies for ADS-B data sharing with neighbors, especially Myanmar and this is expected to significantly improve efficiency and safety over a number of airways over the Bay of Bengal, leading to seamless ATM operations using ADS-B as a key component The meeting noted a possible initiative whereby ADS-B data from the n Andaman Islands could be provided to Malaysia to provide some surveillance coverage into the adjacent Kuala Lumpur airspace, which could facilitate a transfer of communications (or transfer of control) point at the edge of Kuala Lumpur s VHF coverage within their FIR, thereby enabling 50NM x 50NM separation to be provided in the airspace concerned. Malaysia and were asked to provide an update to the SAIOACG meeting in February 2014 on this initiative Need for greater awareness on importance of reporting aircraft deviations (WP/17) BOBASMA presented a summary on the data on Gross Navigational Data submitted by the member States of BOBASMA during the last twenty months. Though the formal monitoring program to assess the occurrence of Large Lateral Deviations and Large Longitudinal Errors (LLDs & LLEs) in the BOBASIO airspace commenced from 1st July 2010 very few States had been complying with the requirement to report aircraft deviations in the horizontal plane. States were urged to take this matter 18

20 seriously as LLDs and LLEs have had significant influence on the outcome of safety assessments before and after implementation of PBN based separation. There is an urgent need for States and ANSPs to report the occurrences of large deviations that will enable a realistic assessment of the safety risks. States were requested to increase the awareness on safety issues among all stake holders involved in aviation activity, particularly among the Air Traffic Controllers who ought to observe and report all aircraft deviations without fail BOBASMA also requested the member States to provide PBN and data link Approval Data. BOBASMA stressed that with the Asia/Pacific Regional PBN Implementation plan, recommending RNP2 or RNP4 as the Preferred Navigation Specification in the Oceanic airspace in the medium term ( ) and the mandate that such implementations shall only take place following conduct of a safety assessment that demonstrates that an acceptable level of safety will be met, an increased awareness on safety issues among all stakeholders has become a pre-requisite for the successful implementation of the Regional PBN Plan All participating States agreed to report occurrences of LLDs and LLEs to BOBASMA in timely manner and sensitize their controllers to report the occurrences of LLDs and LLE. AAI informed that controllers at n ATC Centers have been sensitized. It was agreed that reporting of occurrences may be encouraged based on the principle of Just Culture Update ADS-B Programme in Indonesia (IP/03) Indonesia presented an information update on the installation of 30 ADS- B Ground stations with dual system and 1 ADS-B Ground station with single system for Test Bed purpose and that 21 ADS-B Ground Stations in the Eastern part of Indonesia have been integrated with ATC system in MAATS-Makassar and 9 ADS-B Ground Station in the Western part of Indonesia have been integrated with JAATS- Jakarta. The paper mentioned that the Test-Bed system was located at the DGCA Headquarters Office in Jakarta monitors and controls the ADS-B Data from these 31 ADS-B Ground Station The paper also detailed Indonesia s short term plan for implementation , which included activities such as development of regulations and procedures, establish ADS-B Data Sharing Programme between Indonesia - Singapore and 19

21 Indonesia-Australia, establish National ADS-B Task Force for ADS-B implementation, upgrade ADS-B Service Level Category from Tier-2 to Tier-1, Certification of ADS-B Facilities, Publication of ADS-B Service (2013), mandate ADS-B equipment for en-route in Indonesian airspace (2016), upgrade ADS-B Ground System capability to support DO-260-B standard The meeting took note of the development in Indonesia. requested Indonesia to provide details of the range of ADS-B located in Banda-Aceh, so that it may explore the requirement to propose a data sharing with Indonesia IATA requested Indonesia to issue an Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) as soon as possible to alert aircraft operators of the intention to issue an ADS-B mandate in They considered a 2016 to be an aggressive timeframe, and urged Indonesia to consider the needs of the domestic operators in particular. 2.5 AGENDA ITEM 5 - COORDINATION ISSUES AMONGST BOBASIO STATES (BILATERAL/MULTILATERAL) In order to resolve coordination issues among BOBASIO States, following Sub Working Groups (SWGs) comprising of following States/Organizations were formed: a) SWG-A: Airports Authority of (Mumbai, Delhi and CHQ) &, Somalia, ICAO expert-icao Somalia, Seychelles, ICAO APAC Regional Officer-ATM, b) SWG-B: Airports Authority of (Kolkata, Chennai and CHQ), Myanmar, Chennai, Bangladesh; Singapore, Thailand c) SWG-C: Airports Authority of (Chennai and CHQ), Indonesia, Malaysia, All three groups intensively deliberated on various issues of mutual interests during last sessions of and Report of SWG-A Meeting: The group discussed issues pertaining to application of FLAS in Arabian Sea airspace and agreed to the following: 20

22 Mumbai OCC will analyze the traffic pattern to/from AFI regions in terms of time of operation and density by 15 th November A report to this effect will be shared among all concerned stakeholders in BOBASIO Mumbai has committed to conduct a sensitization programme for OCC controllers with emphasis on, that the FLAS should be adopted as last resort for level allocation instead of routinely used tool. The sensitization programme may be completed by 31 st October However, it is also understood that such practices relate to the field of Human Factors, and hence, to reinforce, such sensitization programme may require several rounds for achieving effective results AAI is requested to conduct a study on performance of HF in Arabian Sea airspace for optimization. The study may focus on identifying performance of HF in terms of time of the day, seasonal variation, and specific sectors/areas of poor performance, flight levels, near equator routes or any specific ionospheric activities. The study of quality and coverage of HF is central to this study of performance of HF To ensure required level of position reporting by Kenya Airways and flight crew of other AFI region based airlines, ICAO Office Mogadishu/Nairobi shall coordinate with concerned airlines. These airlines also must be sensitized regarding significance, safety and regulatory provisions of establishing and maintaining listening watch on appropriate frequency and timely position reporting to ATC. The ICAO Nairobi Office is requested to complete the work by 5 th November However, it is also understood that such practices relate to the field of Human Factors, and hence, to reinforce, such sensitization programme may require wide spread circulation among flight crews through repeated attempt for effective results. The flight crews may be reminded of the requirement to contact Mumbai FIC at least 10 minutes before crossing Mumbai Mogadishu/Seychelles FIR boundary. Non-compliance with this requirement may result in getting the flights stuck up at FLAS Levels only. 21

23 It is agreed that for measuring satisfaction of airlines in getting the appropriate levels, a suitable mechanism must be devised by concerned BOBASIO members. No timeline has been fixed for this task It is also understood by all that as long as legacy aircraft continue to fly in this region without ADS-C/CPDLC and performance/coverage of HF remains inadequate, the system of FLAS may continue. However, FLAS should normally be used only when boundary estimate coordination could not be done due to ground - ground communication difficulties or in contingency (non-normal circumstances) Somalia and agreed to sign LOA between Mogadishu FIC and Mumbai OCC Seychelles informed that they are not yet ready for coordination Mumbai through AIDC Report of SWG-B Meeting: and Myanmar finalized a draft agreement template which was acceptable to both of them. The processing of the same would be taken up by the States concerned and would be signed ASAP and Myanmar incorporated required amendments in existing LOA between Yangon ACC and Kolkata ACC/Chennai OCC. signed the amended LOA and Yangon would get signed it by Appropriate Authority and send it to Airports Authority of. The effective date of revised LOA is 1 st January, and Bangladesh discussed about non adherence to procedures enumerated in para and para 11.1 of existing LOA between Kolkata and Dhaka ACC. Both ANSPs agreed to adhere to these procedures with effect from Regional ATFM: A discussion on the process of evolving a regional framework for ATFM within Asia Pacific was invited by. Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore 22

24 participated. Singapore representative explained the progress made in developing the model in collaboration with Bangkok, Hong Kong and Malaysia and was willing to share their experience. Singapore explained that the process aimed at developing distributed virtual ATFM node where every ANSP will have autonomy over the system and allow information exchange between them in a seamless manner. The proof of Concept is a joint effort between the involved states supported by Airbus Prosky. Singapore is planning to run the Human in the Loop and fast time simulation on a test bed at the Singapore Aviation Academy. Operational inputs were collected from all stakeholders at the local and the regional level The collaboration between Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore is driven by the commonality of ATM issues such as traffic volume and composition and similar weather phenomena.. The process of information sharing between the three ANSPs has been through a daily teleconference and exchanges using a common template twice daily. The Information Sharing template includes operational information such as weather, significant airspace events and their impact, Airport Acceptance Rate based on declared runway capacity as well as expected maximum delay if known After detailed discussion, urged the states to carry back home the proposal discussed for establishing sub regional ATFM initiatives between Indonesia, Malaysia,, and Muscat, and Myanmar, and Pakistan with the inputs from Singapore on evolving a process for the system. Indonesia, Malaysia, Muscat, Myanmar and Pakistan will bring to the SAIOACG/04 meeting a draft paper on the ATFM processes and a concrete proposal with an objective of developing a Sub-regional ATFM model so that information exchange can be standardized and common proof of concept evolved The point of contact from Singapore for coordination is Mr. Sivapirakasam R, CAAS and from Bangkok, Mr. Piyawut, (Toon), Aero Thai. The meeting also considered to have a point of contact established with the representative of Hong Kong on this subject. 23

25 ADS B meeting at Beijing: urged Myanmar to provide a paper on the ADS B data sharing among states establishing point of contacts and draft ADS data sharing agreement so that initial ground work can be completed while awaiting governmental clearances for enabling ADS B data sharing among states. will also submit the working paper in this regard also urged Indonesia to provide their ADS B implementation plan and the proposal for sharing the data with in the upcoming ADS B working group meeting in Beijing Report of SWG-C Meeting: The draft Coordination Procedures between Chennai OCC and Kuala Lumpur ACC was discussed and finalized for signature by the Appropriate Authorities of the respective States. Any later amendment if required, would be dealt through mails. (Malaysia expressed its difficulty in using the term agreement in the document as it would consume lot of time. Also it is complex as it would be required to be endorsed law authority. Therefore Malaysia requested to use Coordination Procedures in place of LOA which was agreed by With regard to reporting of aircraft deviations occurring due to coordination failures, such as LHD/LLD & LLE, it was agreed that responsible officers from Kuala Lumpur will exchange information through s within 30 days of such occurrence. The addresses of the responsible officers on both sides were exchanged Regarding the LOA/Coordination Procedures for AIDC data exchange between Chennai and Kuala Lumpur/Jakarta, Chennai presented the draft prepared by Chennai to both Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. Both Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta informed that they would revert back after discussion with their Superiors Issue of notification requirements of airspace reservation in Indonesian FIR due to Rocket launch activity in was discussed with participation from Chennai team and members from AAI CHQ. The issue was the delay in the receipt of 24

26 the notification in NOF. Towards achieving quicker coordination, Indonesia requested coordination from ANSP to ANSP and suggested to have a letter of coordination agreement in this regard. A draft LOCA template was prepared. The same would be submitted to respective organization for evaluation and consideration for signature The meeting discussed the ATM automation system and ATFM, Indonesian informed that automation system would made available in the country by 2nd quarter of 2014 and subsequently 30 NM separation on RNP routes will would be introduced. Indonesia intimated that the project of ATFM is in the initial stage of planning. Point of contact for the same is RIZA FAHMI ATS System Senior Manager,rfahmi@yahoo.com Myanmar informed that ATFM System has been introduced in the country for reducing domestic traffic congestion and point of contact would be communicated. Further, they agreed to share the ATFM implementation information with other members of the region. The meeting also reiterated the requirement of sharing ADS- B data and also about the coordinated planning before implementation of ATFM in Asia Pacific Region so as to have smooth flow of traffic during high density traffic scenarios. 2.6 AGENDA ITEM 6 - ATM CONTINGENCY PLAN AND SAR AGREEMENTS WITH NEIGHBORING STATES ATM Contingency Plan Level 2 (WP 07) This paper presented by AAI highlighted the requirement of coordination among States to prepare Level-2 ATM contingency plan for safe and orderly flow of international air traffic through their airspace during ATM contingency. The contingency may arise at any time due to a Major Earthquake, Flood, Cyclonic Storm, Fire, Bomb Explosion or Terrorist Attack etc , which is a member of the RACPTF (Regional ATM Contingency Plan Task Force), brought to the notice of the house that the Level 1 plan of was deemed by the Taskforce to be robust, whereas the Level 2 plan, which was discussed in BOBASIO/2 lacked the interfacing with the Level 2 contingency plan of the neighbors and therefore relegated to a lower status of incomplete. The second meeting of RACPTF Contingency Plan Review Team was formed to consider relevant portions of 25

27 Level 1 (internal State) and Level 2 (Inter-State) ATM Contingency Plans, and identified areas where ATM contingency planning required improvement, in order to support the development of a Level 3 (Regional) ATM Contingency Plan, based on Basic Planning Elements agreed by the Task Force. The paper pointed out that the Secretariat presented a strategy as follows: As a first step in the development of Level 3 plans, Level 2 plans should be constructed among clusters of States, providing the opportunity for small groups of States to identify contingency routes and develop FLAS for inclusion in the Level 2 Plan for later harmonization with other Level 2 Plans The paper also presented a list of ATM contingency routings, agreed by the Sub Working Group [SWG] comprising of, Bangladesh and Nepal, providing connectivity to/from Katmandu and Dhaka to both eastern and western parts of the world across n airspace urged the BOBASIO participants to discuss and agree for ATM contingency routes, which are compatible with n contingency routes so that agreed routes can be discussed in the next ATM contingency plan task force meeting. The representative from Bangladesh seconded the proposal. Other members agreed to refer the matter to their respective States and provide their comments after takes it up with the appropriate State authorities Search and Rescue agreements with the neighboring States (WP/12) This paper presented by highlighted the requirement to execute agreements with neighboring countries for cooperation on SAR services under the provisions of the Standards and Recommended Practices contained in Annex. 12. Also in the First meeting of the Asia/Pacific Regional Search and Rescue Task Force meeting held in February 2013, it was categorically emphasized that the implementation of SAR Agreements be facilitated as early as possible urged its neighboring States for an early execution of SAR agreement, providing details of the responsibility of States and their agencies, especially in Cross Border Areas. The highlight of the paper is an Annexure which provides a template for such an agreement which has been appreciated by the ICAO APAC Regional Director who has advised that the template provided by be considered by all concerned States to be adopted appropriately and further discussions 26

28 on LOAs be brought up in the SAR task force meeting scheduled to be held in the last week of January stressed the requirement for SAR agreements with adjacent States such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Seychelles, Somalia, Bangladesh and Myanmar. ICAO suggested a tiered approach if there were problems signing off such SAR agreements due to the need for signoff at political levels more importantly, it was necessary to enact the basic technical procedures supporting SAR responses as soon as possible The States agreed to refer the matter to their decision makers, since such an agreement has to be approved by the concerned Government and revert back to the GM (AIS & SAR) who is the nodal person for SAR in ICAO also invited the States to present an update to the Asia/Pacific SAR Task Force in January Inter State ATM Contingency Plan in Indonesia (IP/04) This Information paper stated that Indonesia does not have any formal Level 2 CP agreement with adjoining States, but is reportedly carrying out meetings with its neighbors in its South East including Australia, Timor Leste et al The meeting took note of the paper and wanted Indonesia to explore the possibility of established contingency procedures with its neighbors in the BOBASIO region including, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Singapore. 2.7 AGENDA ITEM 7 - GREEN INITIATIVES BY BOBASIO STATES Establishment of Arabian Sea n Ocean User Preferred Routes Geographic Zone UPR Geo Zone (WP09) As part of green initiatives undertaken by informal ATS Coordination Groups, as Chair Arabian Sea n Ocean ATS Coordination Group (ASIOACG) and founder Partner of n Ocean Strategic Partnership to Reduce Emission ( INSPIRE) presented WP 9 on Establishment of Arabian Sea n Ocean User Preferred Geographic Zone ( ASIO UPR Geo Zone ) wherein the success of informal regional ATS Coordination Group (ASIOACG) and INSPIRE, shows that collaboration among the member ANSPs for implementing Global Best Practices of 27

29 User Preferred Routings that has large potential of saving millions of tons of and carbon emission Encouraged by the recognition and appreciation for the results of INSPIRE Operational Trials by 12 th Air Navigation Conference, Montreal 2012, the third combined meeting of ASIOACG 7/INSPIRE 3, in Mumbai 2012 decided and the States have promulgated ASIO UPR Geo Zone. On 17 th October 2013, the AIP Supplements issued by 9 ANSPs of Australia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, ASECNA Madagascar, South Africa, Kenya and (total 9) became effective The meeting was informed that as of now, on an average 200+ weekly flights are authorised to fly UPRs. The UPR Zone is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions in excess of 10,000 Tons by saving about Tons of fuel per year. It was also noted by the meeting that INSPIRE Programme has earned ATC Global Award for Strategic Management of Air Transport Operations The meeting praised the efforts made by all the concerned ANSPs, participating Airlines and IATA in making the project a reality Delhi Airport-CDM: Implementation Status (WP10) As part of green initiatives by improving operational efficiency of airline operations undertaken at airport level, presented WP 10 on the implementation of Airport- Collaborative Decision Making at Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi. The project is called Delhi Airport- Collaborative Decision Making (DA-CDM). The DA-CDM has been jointly implemented by Airports Authority of in collaboration and Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the airport operator and involves other stake holders such as Airline Operators (AO), Ground Handlers (GH), Support services viz., CISF [Security Agency], Customs and Immigration, Air Force Movement Liaison Unit etc., After the implementation of the ATFM the Delhi Air Traffic Flow Management Unit (ATFMU) is likely to be included in this group All the partners work in close collaboration to ensure the successful operation of DA-CDM, which is the first such implementation in and promulgated through AIP Supplement No. 21/2013 effective from 22 nd August The efficiency of the Air Transport System is highly dependent on traffic predictability. DA-CDM effectively enhances predictability (this reduces buffer times for 28

30 resource planning and flight times), overall efficiency and punctuality by linking and sharing of accurate and timely information amongst Airlines, Airport Operator, ATC, etc As a result of implementation of DA-CDM, the On Time Performance (OTP) of airlines have improved to the extent that international observers such as Flightstats has ranked Delhi Airport at global number 2 in July and August 2013 and global number 3 in September Improved OTP of airlines has come for praise in international print media as well The States lauded the CDM initiatives of Delhi Airport Indonesia ATFM/CDM and PBN Initiative (IP 06) Indonesia presented an information paper on its ATFM/CDM and PBN initiatives. The paper brought to light the problems associated with FPL distribution as the airports are spread over a islands, with the situation demanding a strategic plan. The paper listed their plan to establish ASEAN Open Sky Policy which will liberalize the aviation market within 10 ASEAN Nations with 500 million population. The paper also detailed Indonesia s evolving ATFM/CDM to be implemented nationwide, with their national ATFM Centre expected to be operational by This centralized FPL and Traffic Flow Management is envisioned to handle the entire flight plan and slot distribution for departures and reduce congestion of overflying traffic This concept is being developed in four phases: a. Procedural A-CDM: operation trial by end November 2013 b. AMAN System: by Q2 / 2014 c. Flight Plan Management Centre: by Q4 / 2014 d. Strategic National ATFM Centre : by end of The State has also detailed an ambitious plan to introduce unidirectional RNAV/RNP routes in the near term The meeting took note of the developments in Indonesia. 29

31 2.7.4 CDM platform at Mumbai (IP 07) The Mumbai CDM team presented an information paper on their A-CDM initiatives and followed it up by an exhilarating live demonstration of their Internet Protocol based system with 100% automated database, derived from other servers like AMHS, Met servers, AIS database etc., This web based application is an information sharing platform among aviation partners at CSI Airport, Mumbai and builds an Airport- Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) system. The Mumbai A-CDM has resulted in direct advantages such as Reduction of delays at holding point, Orderly flow of traffic, Optimization of capacity and better OTP, Reduction of RT congestion and achieving Common Situational Awareness(CSA) as well as indirect advantages viz., reduction in wastage of aviation fuel, reduction in carbon emission, reduction in passenger discomfort, transparent and bias free handling of flights and the consequent increase of trust level between ATC and Airlines Operators Whilst IATA was highly appreciative of Mumbai s A-CDM project, their representative expressed his apprehension about multiple software and procedural standards involved. AAI representatives clarified that the fundamental concept and rules are the same despite Delhi and Mumbai using different platforms. IATA urged to have a common A-CDM platform. IATA urged BOBASIO states planning A- CDM to ensure the Business Rules ; terminology and procedures were aligned regionally to ensure User interfaces with various A-CDM systems are common. The Mumbai GM (ATM) mentioned that the airline only needs to change EOBT if at all deemed necessary, so the flight crew or the airline is not affected by multiple platforms. The ICAO representative requested AAI to take the initiative to standardize A-CDM, and may do so through Aerodrome working group. The GM (ATM) assured him that although, the flight crew is expected to follow procedures for A-CDM for a given airport detailed in the relevant AIP Supplement, and is not an issue as it is made out to be, AAI will standardize the procedures and try to use a common software or format whenever and wherever it is able The other States placed their appreciation for an indigenous development of the Mumbai team s A-CDM software. 30

32 2.8 AGENDA ITEM 8 - ATN/AMHS AND AIDC IMPLEMENTATION: AIDC Implementation in and related issues with adjacent ATS Units in the Sub-Region (IP/01) Airports Authority of presented paper and informed the meeting that it is in the process of implementing AIDC within ATC centres in. The AIDC systems are using APAC AIDC ICD version 3 for AIDC and its implementation is being seriously pursued and extensive trials are being carried out between various automations systems showing successful results. Some of these airports are already exchanging live AIDC messages. During trials, several interoperability and operational issues were encountered between different ATS Automation Systems which have been mostly resolved AAI informed that the information exchanges in support of critical ATC functions within Automated ATS systems were achieved via AFTN/AMHS networks. The trials established that the existing AFTN/AMHS facilities in are capable to handle/relay AIDC messages is one of the countries which have boundaries with adjacent ATSUs of APAC, MID and AFI Region states. There is plan to establish AIDC with adjacent ATS units of different States viz. Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal, Seychelles, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Oman and Maldives but the plans and readiness of other states are presently not available. Therefore urged neighboring Centers to share their plan with concerned states for an expeditious AIDC implementation in a time bound manner requested ICAO to standardize single ICD version within APAC region and all the regions of ICAO to achieve harmonious implementation. 31

33 2.8.2 ATN/AMHS Implementation Status In (IP/02) AAI informed that implemented the AMHS and the circuit between Mumbai and Singapore had been operational since 23 rd March is continuously pursuing with other BBIS/BIS states for early AMHS implementation in line with regional and global plans for establishing AMHS network. The present status of AMHS is as appended below: Mumbai-Beijing: After successful completion of Pre-operational trails in July 2013, has already forwarded the draft TMC to China for perusal and response awaited Mumbai-Bangkok: Both and Thailand successfully completed the Pre-operational trials. Following this, draft TMC were exchanged and agreed upon. Steps are being initiated to sign and exchange the TMC to commence regular AMHS operation before the end of Q Mumbai-Karachi: and Pakistan (Karachi) has successfully completed IOT in November Both states have completed the trial operation in 30 March AMC tables are required to be updated at Pakistan end to start preoperational trials. Necessary response from Pakistan is awaited Mumbai-Muscat: The circuit is presently operated on AFTN over TCP/IP through AMHS gateway. Oman Civil Aviation Authority has agreed to commence preoperational trials in the 3 rd week of October IOT on AMHS between and Nepal is in progress. Meanwhile, draft TMC is being exchanged for mutual consent Bangladesh has recently installed Comsoft AMHS system. Now, and Bangladesh are taking initiatives to establish 64 KBPS leased line connectivity and commence the trials. 32

34 Sri Lanka has recently contacted to establish new circuit for AMHS connectivity. is sharing its experiences with Sri Lanka for successful AMHS implementation, Bhutan has not yet communicated their implementation plan Kenya as per communication received planned their implementation in July However, no further input is received and efforts are being made to coordinate with Kenya for early implementation Report of ATN/AMHS Status In Indonesia: At the Seventh ATNICG (ATNICG/7) meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand in February 2012, an Information Paper was presented on the ATN/AMHS trial activities between Indonesia and Singapore Other DGCA activity ATN/AMHS Implementation is re-alignment location indicator, which will provide the AMHS Addressing Scheme ATN/AMHS in Indonesia has been installed in Jakarta (Soekarno Hatta International Airport), Makassar, and Jakarta (DGCA Head Quarter/NOTAM Office) Inter-operability test ATN/AMHS Jakarta Singapore was finished on July The inter-operability was indicated the need to upgrade bandwidth (19,2 kbps to 64 kbps). Indonesia Singapore is ready for bandwidth upgrading to 64 kbps The Inter-operability test has been agreed with the ASIA/PAC Guidance Document for AMHS Conformance Testing (AMHS Manual) Annex F Pre-Operational Test During the trial, the AMHS system will not affect the AFTN existing operating. System. 33

35 AIDC status in Indonesia has been implemented via AFTN AIDC implemented only in Makasar FIR, and has connectivity with Brisbane FIR. 2.9 AGENDA ITEM 9 - ANY OTHER BUSINESS Update on Implementation of ASBU Block 0 Modules (WP/08) Through this information paper, updated the meeting about their alignment to the Aviation System Block Upgrades methodology which is a part of the ICAO updated Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP), which has been endorsed at the recently held ICAO 38th Assembly. ASBU is a 15 year incremental technology upgradation methodology, with Modules under 4 major Performance Improvement areas with elements connected through common threads. The Block Upgrades are organized in five-year time increments starting in 2013 and continuing through 2028 and beyond The paper outlined about the link between ASBU, Seamless ATM Plan and the Regional Air Navigation Plan and detailed as to how the implementation process driven by the ASBU module elements will enable all States and stakeholders to realize the goals of global-harmonization, increased capacity, and environmental efficiency in a unified manner, so that the ASBU building blocks can provide a perfect match of technology and operational concepts The paper also informed the meeting that since, the Regional Air Navigation Plans are expected to be reviewed and updated by including all required supporting procedures, regulatory approvals and training capabilities based on the GANP and ASBU documentation, by the respective PIRGs and therefore all the States will need to reorient their planning to respective Block Upgrade Modules in order to ensure the near- and longer-term global interoperability of their Air Navigation solutions Thereafter, the paper brought the focus to the highest priority that States may accord in the implementation of six modules in ASBU Block 0, including B0-34

36 FRTO, B0-FICE, B0-DATM, B0-NOPS, B0-TBO and B0-ASUR, identified by the APAC Seamless ATS Plan and endorsed by APANPIRG/ The paper introduced s plans of updating the National Air Navigation Plan (NANP) in line with the ASBU roll out keeping in mind the ICAO strategic objectives. The paper showcased s aggressive pursuit in the implementation of eighteen (18) Block Zero Modules with emphasis on the six (6) critical Block-0 elements, to ensure regional and global seamless Air Navigation Services over a crucial airspace connecting three ICAO regions The meeting took note of developments and was appreciative of s efforts in streamlining its ANS system initiatives in alignment with the building blocks of ASBU GAGAN services for the region (WP/11) The fourth SBAS system, GAGAN, has passed the tests for RNP0.1 certification and is undergoing algorithm reviews for achieving APV 1 certification The certification process for the first step will be completed by November 2013 and will join the SBAS service providers group. Preceding BOBASIO meetings had brought out the opportunities that GAGAN would provide neighbouring states and other states within GAGAN footprint to ensure seamless GNSS transition within APAC region urged States to consider the early implementation of GAGAN signal usage and requests to provide willingness to associate with n ANSP, AAI in working together an optimized and cost effective solution for installing reference stations and monitoring systems to meet the GNSS guidelines provided in the ICAO annexes and the Assembly resolutions. presented the Operation Test and evaluation tools developed for assessing GAGAN signal-inn-space compliance for accuracy, integrity, availability and continuity The point of contact (POC) for coordination related to GAGAN services from Member States was established. The details regarding GAGAN POC is appended 35
