11 Executive Summary National ATM Context The Civil Aviation Directorate, within Transport Malta, regulates all aviation activities in Malta whilst ensuring that the Maltese air transport industry, in all its aspects, continues to be developed in a safe and efficient manner in order to serve the island s needs. During 2015, the Civil Aviation Directorate has continued to promote Malta s potential in the aviation sector. These efforts led to a sustainable growth in the aviation register and other related ancillary services. Furthermore, the Civil Aviation Directorate has invested in new and more accessible premises and increased its specialised workforce in all units to cover its regulatory and oversight functions and responsibilities efficiently. The Civil Aviation Directorate is institutionally separated from service provision and carries out the responsibilities of a regulator and National Supervisory Authority. As a member of the EU and part of the BLUEMED FAB, the Civil Aviation Directorate is involved and participates in a number of ATM/ANS related meetings, seminars and workshops. The military do not provide any ATM/ANS services in Malta and their main involvement is the operation of aircraft for search and rescue and coastal/maritime patrol. The Air Navigation Services and Aerodrome Standards Unit has continued with its oversight responsibilities on air navigation service providers that have been certified by the Civil Aviation Directorate. Traffic and Capacity Traffic in Malta increased by 5.3% during Summer 2015 (May to October), when compared to Summer The EUROCONTROL Seven Year Forecast predicts an average annual traffic growth between 2.3% and 8.4% throughout the planning cycle 2016 to 2020, with an average baseline growth of 5.2%. Malta ACC has sufficient capacity to cope with expected demand during the current planning cycle. ESSIP Objective Implementation Objectives completed during where ATC16, COM 11, FCM 01 and ITY-SPI. The problems incurred during implementation were minor. AOM Implement Free Route Airspace Objective will be met by AIRAC date 8 Dec 2016 where MATS will be implementing Free Route above FL335 Several objectives are dependent on the full implementation of the New ATM System namely: ATC Implement ground based safety nets - Area Proximity Warning - level 2 ATC Implement ground based safety nets - Minimum Safe Altitude Warning - level 2 ATC Implement ground based safety nets - Approach Path Monitor - level 2 ATC Implement automated support for conflict detection, resolution support information and conformance monitoring ATC17 - Electronic Dialogue as Automated Assistance to Controller during Coordination and Transfer FCM 03 Implement collaborative flight planning ITY-COTR - Implementation of ground-ground automated co-ordination processes ITY-AGDL - Initial ATC air-ground data link services above FL-285 ITY-FMTP - Apply a common flight message transfer protocol (FMTP)* Verification of systems has been conducted and is part of the ATM system upgrade which will be launched in 12/2016, however it is also subject to the readiness of other users. So whilst the migration will progress to IP, MATS will be depending on others to do the same. NAV03 - Implementation of P-RNAV & NAV10 - Implement APV procedures the implementation date for this objective is set for 31/12/2016. Due to the fact that the implementation of P-RNAV and APV procedures will form part of the new INTRAC [New Terminal Routing Airspace Concept] project, MATS will not be able to meet the deadline for this objective by the end of LSSIP Year 2015 Malta 1 Released Issue

15 Introduction The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document Year 2015 describes the situation in the State at the end of December The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them: Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organizations, the organizational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organization and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided in this chapter. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level; Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the ESSIP Report which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The state reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations; Chapter 4 provides a set of the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the ATM MP OIs and/or Enablers and ESSIP related Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the states per each project included in this chapter; Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the states concerned; Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section. Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP. Note: The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.
