7 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 SUMMARY This Report informs on the progress achieved to further improve the airspace design and utilisation flight efficiency based on the improvement proposals implemented during the relevant AIRAC cycle. The methodology used for assessing flight efficiency is included in the WP9 of RNDSG/64. This document can be consulted on: This edition focuses on AIRAC 1206 (31 May 2012). 1.2 EVOLUTIONS TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN TARGET The Performance Scheme for air navigation services and network functions includes an environment/ flight efficiency Key Performance area: Average horizontal en-route flight efficiency: o the average horizontal en-route flight efficiency indicator is the difference between the length of the en-route part of the trajectory and the optimum trajectory which, in average, is the great circle. o en-route is defined as the distance flown outside a circle of 40 NM around the airport. o the flights considered for the purpose of this indicator are: - all commercial IFR flights within European airspace; - where a flight departs or arrives outside the European airspace, only that part inside the European airspace is considered; - circular flights and flights with a great circle distance shorter than 80NM between terminal areas are excluded. For the performance reference period starting on 1 st January 2012 and ending on 31 st December 2014, the European Union-wide and EUROCONTROL performance targets will be as follows: Environment target: an improvement by 0,75 percentage points of the average horizontal enroute flight efficiency indicator in 2014 as compared to the situation in AIRSPACE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION MONITORING The Network Manager coordinates the following activities to achieve the required improvement in flight efficiency: Enhancing European enroute airspace design through annual improvements of European ATS route network, high priority being given to: o Implementation of a coherent package of annual improvements and shorter routes; o Improving efficiency for the most penalised city pairs; o Implementation of additional Conditional Routes for main traffic flows; o Supporting initial implementation of free route airspace. Improving airspace utilisation and route network availability through: o Actively supporting and involving aircraft operators and the computer flight plan service providers in flight plan quality improvements; o Gradually applying route availability restrictions only where and when required; o Improving the use and availability of civil/military airspace structures. Efficient Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) design and utilisation through: o Implementing advanced navigation capabilities; o Implementing Continuous Descent Operations (CDO), improved arrival/departure routes, optimised departure profiles, etc. Improving awareness of performance

Austria: - Wien FIR new ATS route option. Bulgaria: - Sofia FIR removal of U prefix distinction between Lower and Upper ATS routes. - Sofia FIR alternate ATS route options to facilitate military exercises. - Sofia FIR reducing from H24 to AIRAC May - AIRAC October the availability of existing RAD restrictions LB**2006 / LB** Sofia FIR new geographical sector boundary between Sofia ACC Sectors SA / SC. Croatia: - Zagreb FIR new ATS route option. Denmark: - København FIR new ATS route option. France / Switzerland: - Reims ACC new flight plannable Night DCTs.

The list is an extract of the European Route Network Improvement Plan database accessible via: A description of the airspace improvements together with orientation maps due for implementation on the relevant AIRAC cycle is provided in the RNDSG Airspace Improvements Synopsis (RAIS)

10 3. AIRSPACE DESIGN INDICATOR 3.1 FLIGHT EFFICIENCY INDICATORS EVOLUTION The graphs below show the evolution of the airspace design flight efficiency (RTE-DES) and of the last filed flight plan indicator (RTE-FPL) between 2007 and 27 June % RTE-DES 6% RTE-FPL 5% 5% 4.91% 5.03% 4.90% 4.91% 4.73% 4.68% 4% 3.53% 3.54% 3.45% 3.22% 3.04% 2.99% 4% 3% 3% 2% % FLIGHT EFFICIENCY EVOLUTION PER AIRAC CYCLE The graph below shows the evolution per AIRAC cycle of the flight efficiency indicators between 2007 and 27 June Route Efficiency KPI per AIRAC cycle RTE-DES RTE-FPL 5.5% % 0.8 Route Extension 4.5% 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% 2.5% AIRAC Note: FPL: Flight Plan data provided by CFMU, SAAM analysis performed by DNM/COO/NOM/OPL. DES:Ttraffic demand provided by CFMU, airspace environment data, profile calculations and SAAM analysis provided by DNM/COO/NOM/OPL

11 3.3 EVOLUTION OF INDICATORS The current data indicates that, the route extension due to airspace design reduced between 2009 and 2012 by 0.46 percentage points. The evolution of the airspace design indicator is on the right trend and the contributions of the airspace design projects are key for improving flight efficiency. The current data indicates that, the route extension based on the last filed flight plan reduced between 2009 and 2012 by 0.2 percentage points. The difference between the airspace design indicator and the last filed flight plan indicator was 1.45 percentage points in 2009 and is 1.66 percentage points in June The current data indicates that the route extension due to airspace design reached in June 2012 a very low level, at 2.98%. The evolution of the airspace design indicator is on the right trend and the contributions of the airspace design projects are key for improving flight efficiency. The current data indicates that, the route extension based on the last filed flight plan went further down to 4.64% in June The differences shown above clearly indicate that more efforts must be made to improve the efficiency of the airspace utilisation and to ensure that the indicator based on the latest filed flight plan follows a similar trend like the airspace design indicator. 3.4 BENEFITS Due to the airspace design improvements, the savings achieved during the AIRAC cycle 1206 amount to NMs flown less compared to the equivalent AIRAC cycle in This translates into 1416 tons of fuel, or 4720 tons of CO2, or Euros. Based on the last filed flight plan indicator, the savings achieved during the AIRAC cycle 1206 amount to NMs flown less compared to the equivalent AIRAC cycle in This translates into 1986 tons of fuel, or 6620 tons of CO2, or Euros.
