9 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SW FAB AT A GLANCE The joint collaboration towards the establishment of a Functional Airspace Block (FAB) in the South West region of Europe was initially promoted by the Portuguese and Spanish ANSPs, respectively NAV Portugal and Aena. The initiative was launched building upon historical collaboration between both organisations (e.g. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on May 16th, 2001 by NAV Portugal and Aena) and with the main aim of achieving an optimised ANS provision in the South West of Europe, in accordance with the requirements established in Regulations (EC) No 549/2004 (the Framework Regulation), No 550/2004 (the service provision Regulation) and No 551/2004 (the airspace Regulation). Eventually, the process for the formal constitution of the SW FAB concluded with the signature by the Ministers of Transport of Spain and Portugal on 17 th May 2013 of the Agreement between the Portuguese Republic and the Kingdom of Spain on the establishment of the South West Functional Airspace Block (SW FAB) on the basis of an enhanced cooperation between air navigation service providers and under the hereinunder governance structure: The SW FAB covers the airspace above FL245 under Portugal and Spain responsibility with the exception 1 of Santa Maria FIR thus, being composed of the following Flight/Upper Information Regions (FIRs/UIRs) as depicted in Figure 1: FIR Lisboa (FL245/UNL); UIR Madrid (FL245/UNL); UIR Barcelona (FL245/UNL); and UIR Canary Islands (FL245/UNL). 1 With reference to the Santa Maria Oceanic FIR, belonging to the ICAO North Atlantic Region (NAT), Portugal will decide on its inclusion in the SW FAB Airspace before December 31st, SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 9 of 154

SW FAB Operational Board (OB) Common Plan General Overview of the Common Plan The SW FAB State Agreement tasks the Operational Board (OB) to elaborate an Operational Common Plan to be developed based on the hereinunder Operational Board main objectives: Ensure the cooperation between en route ANSPs aiming to obtain an improved and increased cross borders provision of ANS; Support the NM in the development and on going activities of the Network Strategic Plan (NSP) and Network Operations Plan (NOP); Ensure the development of the Civil Military Coordination; Propose to the Council the modalities of the cooperation on airspace management, including the application of the FUA concept; Ensure the operational coordination of the SW FAB with adjacent FABs; and Propose and define a common management airspace policy SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 10 of 154

11 In order to realise such objectives, a OB Common Plan has been developed through performance oriented implementation projects build around three main lines of action or areas of work covering improvements in the operational and technical fields while converging with the European planning framework: Airspace Management Optimisation Infrastructure Harmonisation European Network Planning Additionally, the OB Common Plan reflects the commitment with the airspace users in particular in the consideration to all the improvements asked for by the airlines and EUROCONTROL in the RNDSG (Route Network Design Sub Group) forum. Projects and Planning The projects are spread over a period covering from 2014 through 2020 with a total effort contribution of FTEs 2 (Full Time Equivalent) and include inter FAB/regional activities. A general overview of all the projects included in this plan grouped by the 3 areas of work is provided in the following figure. 2 1 FTE = 1920 working hours.

17 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 What is the Common Plan? Scope of the Common Plan The Common Plan is a compilation of projects related to the improvement of the air navigation service provision inside the SW FAB airspace and among the surrounding airspaces: collateral FABs (i.e. FABEC); and third countries airspaces (i.e. Morocco, Algeria). This Plan has an application period of seven years, will be updated every year and for this first edition covers the period Preparation of the Common Plan and Validation process The SW FAB Common Plan has been prepared by the Operational Coordination Committee (OCC), committee under the responsibility of the Operational Board (OB), in several steps answering the requirement made by the SW FAB Council and using the operational and technical information provided by the groups working under its umbrella (currently Airspace Working Group AWG and the Technical Working Group TWG ). In this way the following partners contributed to the information included in the SW FAB Common Plan: Navegação Aérea de Portugal E.P.E, NAV Portugal; Entidad Pública Empresarial Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea, Aena; Portuguese Air Force, PAF; Spanish Air Force, SPAF; Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, IPMA; and Agencia Estatal de Meteorología, AEMET. The validation of the information included in this Plan has been made individually and collectively through the cooperation of the SW FAB Groups involved in its elaboration (i.e. OCC, AWG, TWG) Common Plan Maintenance process This is a rolling process, through continuous assessment and identification of improvement and/or mitigation actions. By the end of each year, the OCC, in consultation with the groups working under its umbrella (currently AWG and TWG), carries out an assessment of the objectives achieved during the current year and update the SW FAB Common Plan in order to reflect the activities planned to be done in the following seven (7) years.

18 2.2 SW FAB Background The joint collaboration towards the establishment of a Functional Airspace Block (FAB) in the South West region of Europe was initially promoted by the Portuguese and Spanish ANSPs, respectively NAV Portugal and Aena. The initiative was launched building upon historical collaboration between both organisations (e.g. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on May 16th, 2001 by NAV Portugal and Aena) and with the main aim of achieving an optimised ANS provision in the South West of Europe, in accordance with the requirements established in Regulations (EC) No 549/2004 (the Framework Regulation), No 550/2004 (the service provision Regulation) and No 551/2004 (the airspace Regulation). In the light of the requirements of the Single European Sky (SES) legislation, a Letter of Intent (LoI) was agreed and signed between Aena and NAV Portugal on February 29th, 2008 for a closer and more formal cooperation between the two organisations aiming to carrying out the assessment of different options as for the establishment of a Functional Airspace Block in terms of benefits and efficiencies for the air navigation service performance. During the year 2008 the main objective was to develop an assessment, from the ANSPs point of view on the different possibilities for the establishment of a FAB in the airspace of responsibility of Portugal and Spain. In November 2008, NAV Portugal and Aena produced an initial report (SW FAB Initiative Steering Committee Report v1.0; 17/Nov/08). The report summed up the results from the work conducted and provided a high level picture in a possible Case for Change regarding Portuguese and Spanish air navigation services. It was presented to the Portuguese and Spanish Civil Aviation Authorities in order to facilitate the decision making processes at State level, regarding the strategic direction and the identification of the key areas that should provide additional value, and it was the main driver for the signature of a MoU in March On March 17th, 2009 Portuguese and Spanish Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs), NSAs and ANSPs signed a MoU establishing the strategic rationales, the primary arguments for establishing a closer cooperation between NAV Portugal and Aena and defining how the organisations should cooperate, what functional areas and business processes should be included in the cooperation, and finally how the airspace should be improved to serve our customer needs. The military authorities of both SW FAB Member States were involved in this process namely in the development of technical and operational FAB proposals through the participation on a Civil Military Coordination Group established within the above mentioned MoU s framework. On February 2010, INAC I.P. and the Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA) signed the Portuguese Spanish Civil NSAs Cooperation Agreement, for the carrying out of joint civil NSA functions in the framework of the SES. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 18 of 154

19 A report identifying potential operational projects was produced in May 2010 ( SW Operational Potential Projects ). This report contained a coherent evaluation of the projects which could provide operational benefits inside the whole airspace controlled by Portugal and Spain, their target implementation and the impact in terms of flight efficiency and Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). On October 18th, 2010 high level military representatives from the two SW FAB Member States attended the 3rd meeting of the Joint Supervisory Board (JSB) held in Madrid where the inclusion of military representatives within the top level FAB structure arrangements was agreed. The coordination with the respective Portuguese and Spanish Military Authorities was ensured through the Civil Military Coordination Group established during the definition and development phase of the SW FAB project. The cooperation was constructive and gave the opportunity for the parties to achieve a mutual understanding of the key issues and main principles of the Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) concept in particular regarding the military training and operational requirements on the development of the SW, knowing that the Air Forces are both users and service providers. On May 17th, 2012 a Joint Declaration was signed by the Heads of the Portuguese and Spanish CAAs declaring that both CAAs had agreed on a Draft State Agreement allowing starting the national administrative processes to formalise the State Agreement for the establishment of the SW FAB to be signed by the corresponding ministers of both countries. On the same date the NSA Cooperation Agreement to carry out the supervisory tasks in a collaborative way within the SW FAB was signed by the Heads of the civil aviation NSA, INAC I.P. and AESA. The Agreement on the Establishment of the South West Functional Airspace Block (SW FAB) between the Instituto de Meteorologia, I.P. Portugal, currently designated Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, I.P. and Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET) was signed on June 15th, 2012 in Lisbon and on June 20th in Madrid. The Agreement on the Establishment of the South West Functional Airspace Block (SW FAB) between Entidade Pública Empresarial Navegação Aérea de Portugal (NAV Portugal) and Entidad Pública Empresarial Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (Aena) was signed on June 18 th, 2012, in Madrid. On October 18 th 2012, a Letter of Agreement was signed among Entidade Pública Empresarial Navegação Aérea de Portugal (NAV Portugal), Entidad Pública Empresarial Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (Aena), Spanish Air Force and Força Aérea Portuguesa, allowing the delegation of service procision between Spain and Portugal through the implementation of a new cross border boundary limit definition irrespective of national borders. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 19 of 154

20 On November 14th, 2012, that NSA Cooperation Agreement was endorsed by the Instituto Nacional de Aviaçao Civil, I.P. (INAC, I.P.) of Portugal, the Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, I.P. (IPMA, I.P.) of Portugal, the Secretaría de Estado de Medio Ambiente (SEMA) of Spain and the Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA) of Spain. Finally, on May 17th, 2013, the State Agreement for the establishment of the SW FAB was signed by the corresponding ministers of both countries, Mr. Alvaro Santos Pereira, Portuguese Minister of Economy and Employment, and Ms. Ana Pastor, Spanish Minister of Public Works. 2.3 SW FAB Horizontal Scope The SW FAB covers the airspace which is under Portugal and Spain responsibility within the ICAO European Region (EUR) and in addition for Spain, the particularity of the airspace under its responsibility within ICAO African Indian Ocean Region (AFI) (Canary Islands) 5. Thus, the applicable airspace of each State to be included within the SW FAB (SW FAB airspace) is composed of the following Flight/Upper Information Regions (FIRs/UIRs) as depicted in Figure 1: FIR Lisboa (FL245/UNL); UIR Madrid (FL245/UNL); UIR Barcelona (FL245/UNL); and UIR Canary Islands (FL245/UNL). The SW FAB has to be considered as one of the strategic FABs due to its geographical situation, being one of the most important interconnection nodes for the American transatlantic flights and the European northern southern corridor. The SW FAB airspace is the natural gateway to Central and South America. The airspace of the SW FAB plays an important role in european and international air transport being the main link between Europe and a community of more than 400 million inhabitants with increasing travelling requirements. 5 Notice that in the near future, UIR Canary Islands is going to be included in the ICAO European Region EURtaking into account the proposal made by ICAO to rearrange ICAO regions so that ANPs and SUPPs are applicable in the same ICAO region.

Notwithstanding the above, the ANSPs are encouraged to optimise capacity and efficiency also within this FIR and at all the flight levels of the SW FAB in the operational and technical initiatives. 2.4 SW FAB Objectives According to the SW FAB State Agreement signed on May 17 th, 2013, the objective of the SW FAB is to achieve optimal performance in the areas related to safety, environmental sustainability, capacity, cost efficiency, flight efficiency and also military mission effectiveness throughout the design of airspace and the organisation of air traffic management in the airspace concerned regardless of existing State boundaries oriented to the requirements described in Article 2(25) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 developing an enhanced cooperation between air navigation service providers.

25 3 PLAN STRUCTURE 3.1 Operational Board Objectives The projects included in the Common Plan are helping to meet SES FAB expectations described in Article 9(a)(1) of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 through the achievement of objetives described in the SW FAB State Agreement for the Operational Board. According to the SW FAB State Agreement, the main objectives of the Operational Board are the following: Ensure the cooperation between en route ANSPs aiming to obtain an improved and increased cross borders provision of ANS; Support the NM in the development and on going activities of the Network Strategic Plan (NSP) and Network Operations Plan (NOP); Ensure the development of the Civil Military Coordination; Propose to the Council the modalities of the cooperation on airspace management, including the application of the FUA concept; Ensure the operational coordination of the SW FAB with adjacent FABs; and Propose and define a common management airspace policy. Furthermore, the OB will ensure a proper coordination with the Network Manager on the basis of the NM FABs areas of cooperation as discussed and approved by the NMB. 3.2 SW FAB Operational Board Areas of Work The work described in the plan of the Operational Board for is organised in the following three main areas, two of them covering improvements in the operational and technical areas and a third area related to the contribution to the European Network planning and enhacement: Airspace Management Optimisation Infrastructure Harmonisation European Network Planning The two first areas of work are split into several sub areas of work. All of them include several operational and technical projects that are further described in the next section. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 25 of 154

29 4.2 Performance improvements The CBA (Cost Benefit Analysis) report produced in May 2010 ( SW Operational Potential Projects ) contained a first coherent evaluation of the SW FAB projects which could provide operational benefits inside the whole airspace controlled by Portugal and Spain, their target implementation and the impact in terms of flight efficiency and Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA). The objective of the CBA is to analyse financial and non financial benefits and costs in the framework of the SW FAB, including effects to both ANSPs and other stakeholders such as airspace users and the environment (externalities). Nevertheless, it is important to point out that the above mentioned initial CBA only reflects the collaboration among SW FAB ANSPs, and in particular focuses on certain operational projects and on specific collaboration in systems (FDP System for En Route and Approach control) since these two lines of action have a high degree of maturity, but this does not exclude the possibility of progressively extending the foreseen collaboration in the near future under the auspices of the SW FAB institutional framework. Consequently, the results of the CBA are to be considered as highly conservative taking into account the global potentiality of the SW FAB. An assessment of the benefits obtained by the implementation of the projects in comparison with those foreseen in the CBA will be regularly executed. For each of the projects, the contribution to the achievement of improvements in several Performance Areas (Safety (SAF), Capacity (CAP), Flight Efficiency (EF), Environment (ENV)), defence and security requirements (NS&D), Airspace Management (ASM), Performance Management (PM) and inter FAB/regional collaboration (INT)), as defined in annex 7.9, has been assessed, as summarised in the following chart: SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 29 of 154

31 4.3 Inter FAB and third countries collaboration. Inter FAB/regional cooperation has been identified by the SW FAB as an essential element for the optimisation of the network as a whole. In this regard, and in line with Article 9(a)(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004, the SW FAB has respected regional agreements in existence on the date of entry into force of this Regulation, in particular those involving European third countries. In particular, the members of the SW FAB, Spain and Portugal, have a longlasting trajectory of inter FAB/regional collaboration through the AEFMP (Algeria, Spain, France, Morocco, Portugal) Convergence and Implementation Plan where France (FABEC) and third countries (Morocco and Algeria) are part of, signed in 2002 before the launching of the SES initiative but based upon former European ATM harmonisation initiatives. The AEFMP Plan also contributes to extending regional cooperation beyond the EU and ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference), aiming to jointly participate in initiatives for supporting this extension like the EUROMED Aviation Project. From a quantitative point of view, a very significant traffic relationship exists with the FABEC airspace with an average daily traffic interchange of more than 3000 movements, around 65% of total SW FAB traffic. In relation to Casablanca airspace, main traffic flows analysis has shown that Casablanca FIR is an adjacent area to the SW FAB with a very significant traffic interchange of nearly 20%, serving as the transition airspace between the Iberian Peninsula and the South Operational Airspace Block (Canary Islands). All the SW FAB operational and technical projects that are described in the next sections for the different areas and sub areas of work have as the main objective the improvement of the performance not only inside the SW FAB area of responsibility, but also with collateral FABs (i.e. FABEC) and with neighboring third countries (i.e. Morocco). From an operational point of view, the analysis of the geographical location of the SW FAB and its horizontal scope has permitted to identify all neighbouring areas surrounding the SW FAB and the traffic demand interchanged. In this respect two main area of interest (AoI) are considered: 1. FABEC airspace; 2. Casablanca FIR airspace. Lisboa/Madrid/Brest FRA Project: Currently FABEC SW FAB interaction is done through the Operational representatives in the AEFMP OPS working sub group. The main goal of this group is the implementation of the SW FAB free route extension to the French coast (Brest airspace); one of the essential projects of the SW FAB is further described below in the section free route sub area of work. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 31 of 154

32 Canarias TMA and Casablanca Dualisation project: As also further described in the next sections, another essential project in the SW FAB is the implementation of a new P RNAV based TMA in Canarias FIR to provide enough capacity and efficiency to main traffic flows between Europe and Canary Islands. In order to satisfy airline operators expectations, TMA design will enhance current SID/STAR structure, enabling flights to operate close to user preferred trajectories. These projects are considered a preliminary step to implement Free Route operations between Lisboa FIR, Casablanca FIR (Oceanic and West ATC sectors) and Canarias FIR as well as to allow the splitting of the airways connecting the Iberian Peninsula with the Canary Islands across the Moroccan Air Space. The creation of these new airways will permit unidirectional routes and the creation of new inbound/outbound points of interest in Canary TMA and also new connection points in the South boundary between SW FAB airspace and Casablanca FIR. Marseille Interface Project: the restructuration of this interface will permit a better flow organisation and a better transfer of traffic between the eastern part of the SW FAB airspace and FABEC airspace (via Marseille FIR). Bordeaux Interface Project: the restructuration of this interface will permit a better flow organisation and a better transfer of traffic between the central and western part of the SW Airspace Blocks and FABEC airspace (via Bordeaux). All these improvements aim at both the implementation of shortest routes, including a better efficiency for the aircrafts and a CO2 emissions reduction and capacity increasing whilst providing a fluent and safe management of the traffic flows in this area. This new airspace structure offers a very good opportunity to ensure a coherent and seamless wide airspace structure if all parts involved join efforts to adapt their airspace structures to better respond to users needs for the provision of ATM services in the South West zone of ECAC area. Furthermore and from a technical point of view, the current plan includes specific projects to improve the sharing of CNS services between the different AEFMP countries (that have already been formally approved in the context of the AEFMP). The deployment of these technical projects (Datalink, AMHS, OLDI links, IP Interconnection of networks, Surveillance IP, New Radars Sharing, Civil Military Ground Communication, New surveillance sensors) will facilitate enhancements in the operational domain helping, in the same way, to improve in performance (Capacity, aircraft separation reductions, Radar services enlargement), Cost Efficiency (radar and communication stations sharing), Safety (enhanced radar coverage and improved communications) and Environment. These projects are further described in the CNS sub area of work. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 32 of 154

33 4.4 Airspace Management Optimisation Area of Work On the basis of the Single European Sky (SES) legislation, SW FAB airspace improvements were established with a view to ensure that national airspace boundaries do not reduce the efficiency of air traffic flows. In this context and as already mentioned, one of the main achievements of the SW FAB concerning the optimum utilisation of the airspace was the delegation of ATS service provision between Spain and Portugal through the implementation 7 in October 2012 of a new cross border boundary limit definition irrespective of national borders. This should be considered of a great value to overcome current limitations due to national borders. The following figure shows the new inter FAB boundary limit definition which will serve as a reference for the restructuration of SW FAB ATC sectors: Fig. [6]: Boundary limit definition Central & West Airspace Blocks Further activities on airspace management will be based on the principle of civil military coordination between all parts, and will be implemented at strategic, pre tactical and tactical levels, through agreements and establishment of procedures in order to increase safety and airspace capacity, and to improve the efficiency and flexibility of air traffic not only inside the SW FAB area of responsibility, but also with collateral FABs (i.e. FABEC) and with neighboring third countries (i.e. Morocco). 7 This was done through the signature of a Letter of Agreement on October 18th 2012 among Entidade Pública Empresarial Navegação Aérea de Portugal (NAV Portugal), Entidad Pública Empresarial Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (Aena), Spanish Air Force and Força Aérea Portuguesa SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 33 of 154

34 The SW FAB airspace organisation will be designed in a cooperative and iterative process aiming at maximum utilisation, capable of greater flexibility and responsiveness. It will offer route and level options closer to user s preferred trajectories, support military use airspace requirements and ensure efficient connectivity between the route network and Terminal Airspaces. Civil military co ordination will add flexibility and responsiveness in future civil/military arrangements including the upgrading of FUA concept and more efficient management of segregated airspace on a collaborative basis. ATC sectors will be established irrespective of national borders, which will permit the optimum design of more direct DCT trajectories. Reconfiguration of current airspace traffic volumes will help to adapt the sectorisation to specific traffic flows. To this purpose, airspace design will be made in a collaborative process involving all relevant actors, civil and military. In the context of this concept of operations, airspace design refers to both the ATS Route Network and ATC sectorisation, including TMA optimisation. The redesign of the SW FAB airspace with regard to its internal structure, classification and utilisation will be accomplished through a unified approach between civil and military actors working for a common purpose. The long term focus of airspace planning, at a FAB level as distinct from individual State, will be made with common standards and procedures and the collective agreement on airspace design solutions which will only be achieved if requirements of all parts have been properly considered. Solutions will be justified and practical. Fig. [7] SW FAB Airspace Management Optimisation Schedule SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 34 of 154

35 4.4.1 Free Route Concept sub area of work Optimising and defragmenting the European ATM system is the basic principle for the implementation of the SES initiative. Flights in continental Europe are operated on air routes or airways essentially anchored on ground based navigational aids structured on a fixed route network. The Free Route Airspace will change air travel as users shall freely plan their routes between any points without reference to the fixed route network. As a pioneering project, the first free route airspace concept in ECAC airspace was established in May 2009 in Lisbon FIR permitting users to freely plan a trajectory between a defined entry waypoint and a defined exit waypoint, without reference to the ATS route network. Lisbon FIR experience showed potential benefits from the implementation of Free Route Airspace such as: Increasing flexibility; No additional airborne equipment for aircraft operators; Financial and operational benefits to the airspace users; Environment benefits. Enhanced flight efficiency. Since the implementation of the Lisbon FIR free route airspace concept, the ECAC airspace has promoted the increasing use of free routes and user preferred trajectories, enabling flights to operate outside a pre defined route structure. Free routes and user preferred trajectories will significantly enhance flight efficiency and will be an alternative to current structuring traffic. Operations in Free Route Airspace can be seen as a development of the current practice of direct routing clearances issued by ATC, situation that also accounts between collateral ACC s offering big distance savings for airlines. Consequently, the SW FAB already operates the free route concept in Lisbon FIR having been an example for a European wide implementation of free route operations which will be continued through SW FAB Santiago/Asturias free route Airspace project created to extend the free route airspace to the north west of the current free route area. Further extension towards the French Coast (Brest) is foreseen as detailed below. Reorganising the airspace of SW FAB putting in place a full free route concept operations can deliver significant benefits. In this sense, free route initiative will be extended in the medium and long term until 2020, covering also the extension to Santa Maria Oceanic Airspace 8 and to Canarias FIR. 8 With reference to the Santa Maria Oceanic FIR, belonging to the ICAO NAT Region and included in West Operational Airspace Block, Portugal will decide on its inclusion in the SW FAB Airspace before December 31st, SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 35 of 154

36 The Operational Board, taking advantage of the free route airspace already in place has planned the following three phased free route extension projects, that will allow to build the largest free route area in Europe: Lisboa/Madrid/Brest FRA project extension of SW FAB Free Route Airspace towards the French Coast. SW FAB FRA Phase II project extension of SW FAB Free Route Airspace to Santa Maria Oceanic Airspace 9 SW FAB FRA Phase III project extension of SW FAB Free Route Airspace to Canarias FIR 10 As a consequence of this phased approach, the SW FAB will be split into two main operational feature sub blocks: West Block free route and conventional East Block. Due to the lack of the MTCD (Medium Term Conflict Detection) functionality available in the ATM system, it will be not able to extend in the timeframe of this plan free route operations to the Eastern area of the SW FAB airspace.

Operational Rules and Procedures in SW FAB airspace are currently established individually by each individual State. This implies that the rules and procedures can differ from State to State. These differences create a fragmented regulatory framework and may limit the possibility of efficient cross border operations. The purpose of the ATM procedures area is to define areas of interest in which the operational rules and procedures of SW FAB airspace can be harmonised in order to meet SES initiative targets and to facilitate other initiatives in the SW FAB common plan. This area of work analyses in what way operational rules and procedures are currently organised and describes and validates the strategies to be undertaken in order to achieve harmonisation and integration. Therefore, the objective of this area will be to ensure the harmonisation within SW FAB in the following areas: SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 37 of 154

38 Harmonisation of SW FAB airspace classification: Airspace classification in Portugal and Spain is fully compliant with ICAO regulations. Nevertheless, it is possible to identify significant differences in the airspace classification structure in both sides of the border. In this sense, this area will permit a progressive harmonisation of airspace classification, designed to ensure the seamless provision of air navigation services, within the SW FAB area of responsibility. The harmonisation of airspace classifications will facilitate cross border sectorisation by avoiding complexities involved where applying different rules and procedures and will permit an easy implementation of FUA harmonisation concepts. The division into upper and lower airspace has a historic background and currently this division is stablished in FL195 in Portuguese airspace and in FL245 in Spanish airspace. It is expected that with the harmonisation of airspace classification this operational need for such a division can be changed, which will have a positive impact in airspace continuity in all SW FAB airspace. Lower ATS routes might be changed in the Spanish side to limits from FL095 (or higher due to obstacles or communication limitations) to FL195, and being classified as C airspace, to match Portuguese standard. Nowadays from different MEA to FL245 and classified as E or C. SW FAB airspace will be full harmonised with this action. Consequently, Upper ATS route structure might be changed in the Spanish side to limits from FL195 to FL660, to also match Portuguese standard. Nowadays Upper routes are defined from FL245 to FL460. Harmonisation of radar separation: Currently minimum radar separation applied inside SW FAB airspace is different in both sides of the border. The main goal of this area of work is to assure conditions for homogeneous radar separation minima throughout all SW FAB airspace. En route radar separation of 5NM is already in place in parts of SW FAB airspace (Spanish airspace) and the main objective is to achive this 5NM minimum radar separation in all en route SW FAB airspace, and 3NM in the Terminal areas. Harmonisation of FL division at cross border sectorisation: FL division is currently not harmonised at cross border sectorisation, which have some impact in terms of flight planning and RAD restrictions due to ATFCM measures. Two FL division are in place: FL345 and FL325. The harmonisation of the FL division will permit to simplify rules and procedures to improve safety and to increase vertical flight efficiency satisfying user s expectations. It is expected that a common FL division may facilitate cross border sectorisation, radar transfer of traffic flows between both sectors and to reduce the number of communication changes by harmonising the upper and/or lower limits of the sectors at the boundary.

39 The following project is planned to be developed under this area: SW FAB Harmonisation project Fig. [10] SW FAB ATM Procedures Area Schedule It is expected that, in the future, new projects may be included in this area covering: Coordination procedures used by ATS within units, between ATS sectors and between ATS units; Procedures concerning military training areas; and Any other relevant ATS and coordination procedures. The projects of the harmonisation area will ensure that the operational procedures within a cross border sector will be identical either side of a national border Network Management sub area of work SW FAB ATS route network redesign is an important area for change aiming to optimise the organisation and the use of airspace and achieve a continuum for ATM purposes in line with the SES. A network continuum will be ensured through the different routes proposals where all aspects related to lateral and vertical interconnectivity, including interconnectivity with SW FAB adjacent areas, will be addressed. These route network improvements will be based on the Advance Airspace Scheme principles and will be introduced via the implementation of the European Route Network Improvement Plan (ERNIP) Part 2. The development of the airspace structure will enable dynamic and flexible capacity with route options and alternatives to meet the preferred trajectories of the airspace users. This route network orientated approach takes the SW FAB as a whole, independent from national boundaries, and is based upon the need to offer a more optimal route structure for the airspace users, which will permit to enhance the overall European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Air Traffic Management (ATM) flight efficiency to satisfy new performance requirements. The analysis of main traffic flows in the SW FAB airspace have served to identify three main areas of improvement as presented in the next figure: SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 39 of 154

40 Fig. [11] SW FAB ATS route network improvement areas 1. Northbound/southbound west area: this airspace accommodates most of the traffic flows into the SW FAB area as entry/exit traffic to LP airports and overflying traffic to South Operational Airspace Block via Casablanca FIR. This traffic is affected by a State border whose reorganisation may offer significant improvements in terms of flight efficiency. 2. Northbound/southbound east area: this airspace accommodates main of the traffic flows into the SW FAB area as entry/exit traffic to Barcelona TMA and Balearic Islands. Cooperation between FAB initiatives, SW FAB and FABEC, will bring benefits in terms of flight efficiency, better connectivity with terminal areas and a better airspace management due to the presence of a big French military area. 3. Westbound/eastbound area: SW FAB airspace mainly accommodates traffic in a northbound/southbound scheme, presenting some ATS route inefficiencies for transversal traffic flows. This area is the most crowded for traffic westbound/eastbound serving as the connection between terminal areas for domestic traffic (Lisbon, Madrid, Valencia and Palma TMA) and for minor overflying traffic to Marseille FIR. All proposals have been made with the integration of civil and military considerations and assume future civil/military arrangements including an enhanced airspace management based on a collaborative basis. As it will be possible to verify, the different airspace improvement proposals ranges from minor ATS route alignments to large scale reorganisation leading to substantial distance and environmental savings. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 40 of 154

41 The main objective is to provide Aircraft Operators with their preferred trajectories selected from the route network, whilst ensuring that the capacity and safety targets defined by the sectorisation are met. The following projects are planned to be developed under this area: Canarias TMA project: this project that consists of the implementation of a new P RNAV based TMA in Canarias FIR, is considered as a preliminary step to implement Free Route operations between Lisboa FIR, Casablanca FIR (Oceanic and West ATC sectors) and Canarias FIR (excluding operations inside TMA and oceanic area). Marseille FIR interface project (includes LUMAS project): the restructuration of this interface will permit a better flow organisation and a better transfer of traffic between the eastern part of the SW FAB airspace and FABEC airspace (via Marseille FIR). Bordeaux interface project: the restructuration of this interface will permit a better flow organisation and a better transfer of traffic between the central and western part of the SW Airspace Blocks and FABEC airspace (via Bordeaux). Casablanca Dualisation project: this joint initiative developed by SW FAB and ONDA Morocco consists on the split of ATS airways in the Lisboa Casablanca Canarias interface to accommodate main traffic flows between Europe and South Atlantic Region/Canarias islands. Madrid TMA (OPTIMA project) project: this project consists of the design and implementation of a new P RNAV structure for Madrid TMA, re organisation of Madrid approach sectors and implementation of independent parallel approaches. Barcelona TMA project: this project consists of the design and implementation of a new P RNAV structure for Barcelona TMA including a re organisation of ATC sectors. ATS Network improvements projects (includes several RNDSG projects): This project contains several RDNSG projects arisen from several entities requests (e.g. IATA, IACA, EUROCONTROL, ). Faro TMA: New CNS infrastructure in Faro area will permit to develop P RNAV procedures for Faro airport. Lisboa TMA: In order to increase Lisbon APT capacity, Terminal area will be restructured taking advantage of P RNAV navigation procedures. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 41 of 154

42 Fig. [12] SW FAB Network Management Schedule Civil Military Coordination sub area of work The civil military coordination is highly supported and developed through the participation of civil and military representatives in the Operational Board as well as in its Working Groups. This participation aims at the fulfillment of both civil and military ATM/ANS requirements at operational and technical levels through harmonised ASM processes as well as more collaborative application of FUA. The following project is planned to be developed under this area: FUA Cooperation Fig. [13] SW FAB Civil Military Coordination Schedule 4.5 Infrastructure Harmonisation Area of Work As part of its overall added value, the SW FAB is aiming to make optimal use of technical resources. From this technical point of view, a huge effort has been dedicated to allow the optimum use of technical resources in order to optimise and improve the air navigation services provided within the SW FAB. The agreements signed between Aena and NAV Portugal in the AEFMP framework, and included in the annexes I and II of the Framework Agreement between Aena and NAV Portugal for the establishment of the SW FAB, signed on June 18th, 2012 have already set the basis for this collaboration in the CNS area, and cover: SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 42 of 154

43 - Shared use of surveillance data between Aena and NAV Portugal, in particular, radar data shared from the following radar Stations: Foia, Montejunto and Porto Santo, from Portugal, and As Pontes, Cancho Blanco and Valladolid from Spain. - Shared use of CIDIN between Aena and NAV Portugal. - Data communications exchange using OLDI between Aena and NAV Portugal. It is also important to mention two Memorandums of Cooperation signed with DSNA (French ANSP) and ONDA (Moroccan ANSP), both in January 23rd, 2013, so as to formalise the historical sharing of technical CNS resources: - Shared use of surveillance data between Aena and DSNA: Radar data shared form the following radar Stations: Biarritz, Auch and Montpellier, from France, and As Pontes, Solorzano, Begas and Randa, from Spain. - Shared use of CIDIN between Aena and ONDA, and between Aena and DSNA. - Data communications exchange using OLDI between Aena and ONDA, and between Aena and DSNA. In addition to the above, the current plan includes an activity towards the development of an interoperable ATM FDP system between Spain and Portugal for en route and approach control (through the investigation of the possible integration of Nav Portugal in the itec Consortium) and new actions to improve the sharing of CNS services between the different AEFMP countries (that have already been formally approved in the context of the AEFMP). These AEFMP actions contained in AEFMP RCIP (Regional Convergence and Implementation Plan), are further detailed in the next sections. Fig. [14] SW FAB Infrastructure Harmonisation Schedule ATM systems sub area of work It is planned to continue and deep in the possible collaboration activities towards the development of an interoperable FDP system for en route and approach control. To this end, the closer collaboration on Flight Data Processing (FDP) systems is included in the plan, especially in the interoperability, capacity and safety areas. In addition to this objective and with the goal of improving the level of integration and interoperability of ATM systems, new activities in the ATM domain have been identified: SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 43 of 154

44 - Define and agree technical solutions and planning for the Conformity with Implementing Rules related with the ATM system. - Identification and analysis of common solutions regarding implementation of CDM functionality and interface with the ATM systems in Aena and NAV Portugal The following projects are planned to be developed under this area: ATM IR Conformity ATM Systems Harmonisation CDM Fig. [15] SW FAB ATM Schedule CNS sub area of work The actions included in the plan are oriented to improve the sharing of CNS services between the different AEFMP countries. In addition to this, new CNS projects have been identified in order to go further in the integration of CNS systems in the AEFMP area: - Define and agree the technical solutions for the implementation of Datalink services in support of IR 29/2009 and IR 30/ Migration of the CIDIN technology to AMHS to support the new concepts about aeronautical information exchanges (AIXM, WXXM, Flight Objects, ). - Define, agree and implement the technical solutions for the interconnection of aeronautical data networks based on IP protocol, implying the identification of SLAs for the exchange of surveillance data in accordance with the Implementing Rule on surveillance (SPI IR). It is important to stress that NAV Portugal and Aena keep on working and collaborating in the pan European network service (PENS), an international ground/ground communications infrastructure jointly implemented by EUROCONTROL and the European air navigation service providers (ANSPs including SW FAB and FABEC ANSPs) in order to meet current and future air traffic communication requirements. It provides a common IP based network service across the European region covering voice and data communications. - To analyse feasibility to exchange ADS B and WAM data The ADS B over satellite is quite simply an upgrade of the ADS B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance) system. It is a surveillance system where aircraft supply localization data gathered from satellite geolocalisation and broadcasted by datalink. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 44 of 154

45 The main components for an aircraft are the GNSS receptors (GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO/etc.) for the localisation data and a data transmission system (datalink). This concept, and consequently this system, certainly will revolutionize the world in current ATC/ATS, as will use the ADS B (surveillance system), from any spot on the globe, and in oceanic or remote areas where cannot be installed on terrestrial infrastructures (antennas). On the other hand, it will also promote the use of ADS B on continental zones, improving surveillance infrastructure management of ANSPs, as investment in infrastructure must be much lower than required in a conventional radar infrastructure. In terms of operational benefits in air traffic management, the ANSPs will have the great added value of introducing surveillance footage, such as radar, to the entire Ocean or remote areas. This means directly to the SW FAB, and in particular to NAV Portugal (Santa Maria OCA), in all its extension, the use of a tool like radar and in the Lisbon FIR would be a coverage in all areas, including those where it is currently disabled or null. From a business strategy point of view, the use of this system would bring an added value to the air traffic services and in particular in the Atlantic Ocean, with the use of a tool similar to radar and the increase of the capabilities to offer. The following projects are planned to be developed under this area: Datalink AMHS IP Interconnection of networks Migration of Surveillance flows from X.25 to IP New Radars Sharing Civil Military Ground Communication (in support of civil military coordination) New surveillance sensors Fig. [16] SW FAB CNS Schedule SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 45 of 154

46 4.5.3 MET sub area of work To harmonise issuance of SIGMETs and other meteorological information supplied to en route. The following project is planned to be developed under this area: SIGMET Fig. [17] SW FAB MET Schedule 4.6 European Network Planning Area of Work SW FAB fully supports an evolution of the SW FAB plan in a whole European approach. In this regard, SW FAB has identified as essential the harmonisation of its plan with the plans developed in the European framework where a FAB representation is already in place or is planned. To achieve this harmonisation, the following planning activities will be jointly developed: NMB (Network Management Board): The representation and the preparation of the SW FAB civil ANSPs positions for the body governing the Network Manager, the Network Management Board, are coordinated at SW FAB civil ANSPs representative level in order to ensure a coordinated civil ANSPs view in relations to the Network Functions. The civil ANSPs participation in the Network Management Board is at CEO level, on a rotation basis. The coordination at the lowest levels is made through the SW FAB working arrangements, in particular through the Airspace Working Group. Contribution to the Network Strategy Plan (NSP): the SW FAB civil ANSPs collaborate in the elaboration and update of the Network Strategy Plan through the coordinated participation and influence through the NMB. Contribution to the Network Operations Plan (NOP): the SW FAB civil ANSPs collaborate in its elaboration through the joint participation of the civil ANSPs in NDOP related activities as well as in RNDSG team. SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 46 of 154

47 SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) Deployment: IDSG (Interim Deployment Steering Group): the representation and the preparation of the SW FAB civil ANSPs positions for the participation in the Interim Deployment Steering Group to contribute to the elaboration and monitoring of the Interim Deployment Programme (IDP) is jointly coordinated between the SW FAB civil ANSPs, Aena and NAV Portugal. Furthermore SW FAB civil ANSPs establish and represent common positions in the TEN T Consortium for ANSPs coordination in the IDSG. The SW FAB civil ANSPs have also coordinated their joint participation to the TEN T proposal (selected by the EC and elaborated by several European ANSPs) to support the execution of the IDP. LSSIP (Local Single Sky Implementation Plan): The OB has already planned the civil/military ANSPs coordinated contribution to the content of Spanish and Portuguese LSSIPs in order to maximise the agreed common reporting (from LSSIP 2013 onwards) of identified FAB dimension ESSIP objectives among ANSPs. The following project is planned to be developed under this area: Civil/military ANSPs contribution to national LSSIPs coordination Fig. [18] SW FAB LSSIP Schedule SW FAB Council Operational Board Common Plan Page 47 of 154

Therefore, the objective of this project will be to ensure the harmonisation within SW FAB in the following areas: Harmonisation of SW FAB airspace classification; Harmonisation of radar separation; and Harmonisation of FL division at cross border sectorisation; Activities description Activity 0: Management The organisation and coordination of the activities of the project in order to achieve its objectives, including the civil military coordination. Activity 1: Harmonisation of SW FAB airspace classification Lower ATS routes might be changed in the Spanish side to limits from FL095 (or higher due to obstacles or communication limitations) to FL195, and being classified as C airspace, to match Portuguese standard. Nowadays from different MEA to FL245 and classified as E or C. Upper ATS routes might be changed in the Spanish side to limits from FL195 to FL660, to match Portuguese standard. Nowadays from FL245 to FL460. TMA and CTR airspace classification will depend on local requirements and it will not be subject to harmonisation. o Analysis of the differences and similarities regarding airspace classification in SW FAB; o Validation of the harmonisation of SW FAB air space classification proposal; and o Implementation of the harmonisation of SW FAB air space classification.
