11 Executive Summary National ATM Context Romania is a EU Member State since the 1st January 2007 and a NATO Member State since the 29th March The Romanian airspace plays a significant role in the European transportation network of the South-East Europe region which acts as a bridge between North, South, East and West Europe. While air traffic has been steadily increasing, forecasts predict further higher traffic demand driven by the economic growth in the region, by the on-going political changes (the EU political enlargement process, the emergence of new areas of cooperation and commitment ECAA, the European Common Aviation Area Multilateral Agreement, ratified by Romania through Law no.328/ published in the Official Journal of Romania Part 1 no.48/ ) as well as by the traditional European tourism and business travellers. The separation between the regulatory and the ATM service provider functions is effectively in place in Romania since many years now. The target operational concept established by the Government Decree no. 536/2000, aiming at further reducing the number of en-route ATC centres to a single one in Bucharest, has been finalised in As a consequence starting 18 th October 2012 ROMATSA operates the Bucharest ACC as well as Bucharest APP from the ATC centre located in Bucharest. Two more APP units are operated by ROMATSA in the Arad and Constanta ATC centres. In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 the Night Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept has been successfully implemented within Bucuresti FIR. In accordance with the provisions of Order of the Minister of Transport no. 1547/2013, since 1 st January 2014 the NSA responsible for security matters from MoT was transferred to RCAA. Also, the full responsibilities for the provision of Aeronautical Information Services were transferred from RCAA in the administration of ROMATSA at the same date, through Government Decision 645/ The implementation of cross-border activities within Danube FAB completed on 11 th December 2014 is expected to further enhance optimization of the available route network structure. This will bring significant benefits of fuel savings and emission reduction and will support achievement of the EU-wide capacity and environmental targets. Traffic and Capacity Traffic in Romania increased by 17.9% during summer 2014 (May to October), when compared to summer The STATFOR medium-term forecast (MTF) predicts for an average annual traffic growth between 2.6% and 5.9% throughout the planning cycle, with a baseline growth of 4.3%. Average en-route ATFM delay per flight remained at zero in summer 2014, the same as in summer No capacity problems are foreseen for Bucharest ACC in the current planning cycle. ESSIP Objective Implementation As presented in the summarizing table below, part of the objectives are completed, some are partially completed and some are late. It should be noted that the "late" status of one objective (AOP04.1) is due to the fact that Romania joined later the applicability area of this airport related objective. The A-SMGCS Level 2 (AOP04.2) is currently under implementation at LROP: the installation is finalized, the system being under operational tests. In house development for Integrated Briefing (INF04) is in progress. Currently the application has a trial status. Based on the input received in 2014 from the end-users the application has been updated and is expected to be further improved before starting operations. For the implementation of AOP03, most of the recommendations contained in the European Action Plan for Prevention of Runway Incursions (EAPPRI) Ed. 2.0 have been already implemented. Related actions are in progress to implement the recommendations contained in the EAPPRI Ed. 2.0 that have not been yet implemented. LSSIP Year 2014 Romania 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 2014 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.

In compliance with the EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A), the current status of the Airspace classification is: 1. Between FL 105 and FL ICAO Class C airspace, according to EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A) requirements. This classification is applicable since Nov through joint MoT- MoD order no 693 M173/ 2003, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 165/ Below FL 105 The ICAO airspace classification of Class C airspace below FL 105 is implemented in Romania by joint MoT MoD Order 53/ and M20/ , published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 107/ Free Route Airspace In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 within Bucuresti FIR has been implemented the Night Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept. A consultation coordinated by ICAO EUR/NAT Office has been also successfully made at States level, in accordance with the provisions of Annex 11, paragraph and the established procedure for the amendment of the European Air Navigation Plan. General principles of Free Route Airspace operations: a. Horizontal and vertical limits of the implementation area: - The Free Route Airspace Concept encompasses the horizontal boundaries of Bucuresti CTA in their full extent, as published in AIP Romania, ENR 2.1. The vertical limits of FRA Concept application are from FL105 to FL660. b. Class of airspace - FRA has been implemented in Class C airspace, with the exception of TMA areas and CTR. c. FRA Operating hours - Free Route Airspace is available from 2300 to 0500 UTC during the winter time period and from 2200 to 0400 UTC during the summer time period. d. Planning aspects - During the Free Route Airspace operating hours eligible flights may plan inserting DCT between IFR significant points and en-route radio navigation aids published in AIP Romania, subsections ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1, without reference to the published ATS route network. Also, the ATS fixed route network remains available during FRA operating hours. - Insertion in the flight plan of DCT across the Bucuresti FIR boundaries (cross-border) are not allowed. - The access from/ to TMA / CTR areas are effected using the fixed ATS route network, using dedicated connection points published in AIP Romania. e. Reference materials within the national Aeronautical Information Publication: - IFR significant points and en-route radio navigation aids are published in AIP Romania, subsections ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1.

22 1.2.1 Civil Regulator(s) General information According to the basic civil aviation act (the Civil Air Code of Romania, issued in 1997 by Government Ordinance and approved by Parliament Law no. 130/2000, further modified by Law 399/2005), the regulatory responsibility for civil ATM (ATFM included) and ANS belongs to the state civil aeronautical authority, the Ministry of Transport (subsequently referred to as MoT ). Art. 10 of the same law establishes the joint regulatory responsibility of MoT and MoD (the Ministry of National Defence) for all airspace organisation and management (ASM) matters. It should be noted in this context that all GAT is serviced exclusively by civil ANS Provider. The different national entities having regulatory responsibilities in ATM are summarized in the table below. The Romanian CAA is further detailed in the following sections.

Since 1 January 2014, the NSA responsible for security matters was transferred from MoT to RCAA, through Order of the Minister of Transport no. 1547/2013. State Safety Programme was released. Specific procedures will be issued and afterwards the state safety levels will be set up taking into consideration the safety levels already established by the ANSP, taking 8 into account the ECAC level overall safety minima of 1,55 x 10 accidents per flight/hour, set in RACR- ESARR 4. Safety performance monitoring was performed during 2014 according to the applicable SES requirements (Regulation (UE) no. 1034/2011), and national regulation RACR-REAC transposing (EC) Directive 2003/42. At national level, the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Centre shall publish each year a report containing the civil aviation occurrence information collected through the mandatory/voluntary reporting system with a view to informing the general public about the level of safety in civil aviation. Twice per year, ROMATSA Safety Committee has to assess safety performance of ROMATSA based on reports issued by Safety and Quality Directorate. The safety data have been collated and reported to EUROCONTROL in terms of yearly high level safety indicators, as provided in the Annual Safety Template (AST). The main strategic action is to improve regular safety performance monitoring and analysis of incidents trends by: Implementation of an Automated Safety Reporting System. The system will facilitate the process of reporting, investigation and dissemination by means of an intranet network using ECCAIRS software. The project (SMART Project) started in 2005 and it is still under development. ECCAIRS is also being used at the moment accordingly. Implementation of an Automated Safety Monitoring Tool as a complementary system to the actual human reporting system. LSSIP Year 2014 Romania 11 Released Issue

24 MoT ATD/RCAA The Air Transport Directorate (DTA), manages the regulatory responsibilities, including drawing up high level policies for air transport. Economic regulation is performed with participation of MoT s Economic & Administrative Directorate. By Law No.55/2010 for approval and modification of the Government Ordinance No.26/2009, the Department of Air Transport Investigation, part of the General Directorate of Control and Accident Transport Investigation (GDoCATI) from MoT has been transformed into the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Centre (CIAS), public institution with legal personality, subordinated to MoT. CIAS is the independent body responsible for technical investigations of the civil aviation accidents and serious incidents, having its own budget. CIAS has become functional with the promulgation of the Government Decision No.1013/2010 which approved the Regulation of organization and functioning of the CIAS. The main activity of CIAS is based on Regulation (EU) 996/2010 (for the Civil Aviation Safety Investigation) and Directive 2003/42/EC (for civil aviation occurrence reporting). According to Art. 5 of the Aviation Act, Government Decision 405/1993 (establishing the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (RCAA) as an autonomous, independent from ATM service provision and selffinanced organisation) and to some other specific regulations promulgated by MoT after 1998, most of MoT s safety and security regulatory responsibilities were delegated in the remit of the RCAA, such as drafting national regulations (up to the approval of the national specific regulations, which is undertaken by MoT), issuing specific procedures and instructions to apply the national regulations and the day-to-day safety supervisory tasks pertaining to ANS provided to GAT. It should also be noted that economic regulation of ANS is retained by MoT. However, the amendment by Law 399/2005 of the Civil Air Code has introduced the supervisory function in the national regulatory framework, as required by (EC) Regulation No. 549/2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the Single European Sky. This enables that the RCAA is designated by MoT as the NSA for Romania for all specific tasks laid down by SES legislation. Since 1 st January 2014, the NSA responsible for security matters was transferred from MoT to RCAA, through Order of the Minister of Transport no. 1547/2013. The Law 399/ 2005 amending the Air Code of Romania entered into force since 1st of July 2006 and, starting with July 2006, RCAA has been designated as NSA for Romania by MoT Order no. 1185/2006, published in the Official Journal of Romania Part I no. 602/ According to this MoT Order, RCAA is designated to perform the roles and responsibilities of a NSA in compliance with SES legislation. Starting August 2005 several organisational changes have been implemented within the RCAA, including the full separation (at functional level) of RCAA s AIS Department (that used to provide aeronautical information services falling under the SARPs of ICAO Annex 15 - the whole integrated package of aeronautical information except for the PIBs) from the RCAA departments which fulfill the role and tasks of the NSA. Since 1 st January 2014, the AIS department from RCAA, responsible for providing the IAIP except PIB was transferred from RCAA to ROMATSA, through Government Decision 645/2013. In Romania, as EU Member State, all EC Regulations are entirely binding and directly applicable, including SES legislation which is in force for the time being. Subsequently, all the ESARRs provisions transposed at Community level are now directly applicable. The Romanian Civil Air Code (established by law) provides the general requirements concerning the safety regulatory approval and oversight of all ATM systems and organisations, and for personnel licensing. The RCAA covers a wide area of activities, including certification, such as: Certification of the ANS service providers in compliance with the SES certification processes required by the EC regulations. During 2006, RCAA developed an audit programme consistent with the ANSP certification process within SES as required by the SES (EC) Regulations (No /2004) and the Commission s Regulation (EC) No. 2096/2005 laying down the Common Requirements for the provision of air navigation services. At the end of 2006 RCAA issued for ROMATSA the Certificate no 01/ 2006 for air navigation services provision, with revision number 1 applicable from 1 January Further, revision number 2 applicable from 1 January 2010, and revision number 3 applicable from 5 th of November 2011 were issued. A second certificate no. CN 07/2012 was issued which replaces the previous one and is valid until For the AIS Dept. within RCAA the following certificates were issued: in June 2007 the Certificate no. 02/ 2007, in June 2008 the Certificate no. 03/2008, in June 2009 the Certificate no. 04/2009, in June 2011 the Certificate no. 05/2011, in June LSSIP Year 2014 Romania 12 Released Issue

25 2012 the Certificate no. 06/2012, and in July 2013 the Certificate no. 08/2013. Since January 2007, RCAA has started to annually monitor the ongoing compliance of the air navigation service providers with all the applicable requirements and conditions attached to their certificates. for procedures (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments associated with procedures related to either new functional systems or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual implementation), for the ANS personnel (licensing of air traffic controllers and of some safety significant categories of ATM technical and engineering personnel, licensing of MET and AIS personnel), and for ATM systems/constituents (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments related to either a new functional system or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual implementation). Information on the RCAA as NSA can be accessed on site The MoT website: Annual Report published: N ROMATSA Civil Air Navigation Services are provided by the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration to all GAT-IFR flights. ROMATSA is an autonomous, self-financing state owned enterprise under the authority of the Ministry of Transport. The activities and tasks of ROMATSA are based on Government Decrees No.74 - dated 1991, No dated 1993, No dated 2005, No dated 2006, No dated 2007 and No dated Flight Information Services within Bucuresti FIR are provided by Bucuresti FIC and by ACC, APP and TWR units in their area of responsibility. For the provision of air traffic services ROMATSA operates the ACC/APP centre located in Bucharest as well as the civil Aerodrome Control Towers and the Approach Control units within Bucuresti FIR. ROMATSA provides Aeronautical Information Services and Meteorological Services for civil aviation. ROMATSA also provides the technical services for the Air Traffic Services equipment at the airports and at the en-route facilities. Up to the AIS Unit within RCAA used to provide aeronautical information services falling under the SARPs of ICAO Annex 15 (the whole integrated package of aeronautical information except for the PIBs that were provided by ROMATSA). According to the Government Decision no. 645/2013 amending Government Decision no. 405/1993 for the creation of the Romanian CAA, the full responsibilities for the provision of Aeronautical Information Services were transferred in the administration of ROMATSA starting To be mentioned that ROMATSA is certified by the Romanian CAA/ NSA as Air Navigation Provider in compliance with SES Regulations. Alerting service is provided by all ROMATSA ATS units. SAR coordination is provided by the Aeronautical Search and Rescue Coordination Centre located at ROMATSA headquarters Bucharest. An Administrative Council performs the high level management roles and tasks of ROMATSA and also approves strategic decisions. Current management decisions within the frame of ROMATSA responsibilities remain at the Board of Directors of ROMATSA. The Air Force Staff, through the Air Operations Centre and the military aerodrome units, provides air traffic services for military OAT within national airspace and within aerodrome control zones and approach control zones of the civil/military airports and military airports. The Air Force Staff does not provide ATS to GAT. The Air Force Staff provides aeronautical information services and meteorological services for military aviation.

The State Agreement on the establishment of the DANUBE FAB between the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania was signed in December 2011 and was ratified by both governments in The Agreement entered into force on 16 November 2012, thus ensuring the legal basis for the FAB ahead of the SES deadline. DANUBE FAB project phases The DANUBE FAB State Agreement provides the overarching legal framework for the governance of the FAB. The core bodies are: - Governing Council: provides oversight and approval of key FAB documentation (annual plans, safety policy, airspace policy, performance plans etc). - NSA Board: provides a formal coordination and an interface between the NSAs involved in supervisory tasks at DANUBE FAB level. - ANSP Board: oversees implementation of the FAB at the ANSP level via the ANSP agreement. - Airspace Policy Body: responsible for enhancing the joint civil-military coordination process and for the flexible use of airspace application within the cross-border airspace. NSA Board DANUBE FAB ANSP Board Airspace Policy Body Approved structure, enabled by State Agreement OSC SAPSC Administrati SQSESC Enabled by ANSP Cooperation Agreement DANUBE FAB Governance Structure The ANSP Board is supported in the implementation of the FAB through its working arrangements, including specialised Standing Committees or other supporting bodies established in accordance with their respective Rules of Procedures.

42 In turn the ANSP Board is supported by the Strategy and Planning Standing Committee (SAPSC) for all DANUBE FAB cooperation domains, and is composed of ANSP experts. It is supported by the Operations Standing Committee (OSC) which carries out work in the areas of operations, technical and training, and by the Safety, Quality, Environment and Security Standing Committee (SQSESC) which performs the necessary tasks in its domain areas. ANSP Board SAPSC Administrative Cell OSC SQSESC DANUBE FAB ANSP Working Structure The Administrative Cell supports the SAPSC and is guided in its work by a set of overarching documents including the Project Management Plan (including the Communications Plan and Quality Management Plan) as well as the DANUBE FAB State Agreement and ANSP Cooperation Agreement. DANUBE FAB ANSPs successfully applied for TEN-T funds to assist the execution of studies and simulations. Elements of FRA and Air-Ground Data Link (AGDL) implementation are financially supported by the European Commission, and the activities have been designed to determine the most cost efficient ways to implement these concepts, whilst optimising the benefits for all ATM stakeholders. The TEN-T Action is seen as an important enabler for next phases of the FRA initiative implementation. DANUBE FAB s application was one of the few successful proposals in the field of ATM, and the only successful FAB proposal approved for financial support from the TEN-T programme under the Multi- Annual Work Programme for grants in the period In order to meet its ambitions and goals, DANUBE FAB has developed a comprehensive Strategic Program, which provides a high level overview of how and when the strategic objectives are to be achieved. The Strategic Program identified a number of priority projects, representing the most urgent and important issues for DANBUE FAB. These priority projects reflect the elements specified in the EU legislation and activities subject to TEN-T funding, among other activities. The referred high priority initiatives are: - Establishment of the Cross Border Sectors (completed in 2014): The implementation of two cross-border sectors (respectively Sector DF1 and Sector DF2 see para Geographical description of the FIR) on 11th December 2014 is expected to further enhance optimization of the available route network structure. This will bring significant benefits of fuel savings and emission reduction and will support achievement of the EU-wide capacity and environmental targets. - Implementation of the Free Routes Airspace: An intermediate expansion step will take place in 2015, with night-time FRA at DANUBE FAB level planned for introduction in Q Depending on the outcome of the TEN-T studies, phase 3 (extension to up to 24/7 operations) is planned for LSSIP Year 2014 Romania 30 Released Issue

43 - Inter-FAB cooperation: DANUBE FAB is committed to cooperating and coordinating with other FABs. The cooperation is mainly focused on neighbouring FABs and third countries with a view to exchanging information on plans and activities and maximizing the benefits of operational improvements. In support of these initiatives DANUBE FAB will host the next European level inter-fab coordination workshop in Technical rationalization and infrastructure: DANUBE FAB will continue to identify opportunities to coordinate, rationalise and share technical infrastructure to generate cost savings and to further evolve the FAB. DANUBE FAB firmly believes that common procurement is an area for cooperation that will further improve the capacity and efficiency of ANS provision. - Data Link Services: A harmonised FAB approach towards DLS implementation has been established through the TEN-T activities. The studies have developed efficient procedures and provide an early insight into how the DLS will affect ATCO workload and how this translates into available airspace capacity. The execution of a real time simulation and the preparation of a supporting safety case are currently in progress, and will be used during the implementation of air-ground data link in DANUBE FAB.

45 Expected Performance Contribution (specific to the participating organisation(s)) * Capacity DLS preparatory activities - The introduction of AGDL in Europe is estimated to have a 10% net benefit on en-route capacity and is therefore a key enabler of the EU wide capacity target of en-route ATFM delay of lower than 0.5 minutes per flight. Given the low level of delay in the DANUBE FAB, this investment is not necessary for the achievement of the local target, but the nature of AGDL is that the benefit will be accrued in the core- European airspace where delays are in excess of the national targets. FRA preparatory activities The effect on capacity will be determined after the completion of the DANUBE FAB FRA real time simulation. Safety DLS preparatory activities The implementation of DLS at FAB level is expected to contribute to safety by providing a second communication channel between controllers and pilots and by reducing the probability of misunderstandings. FRA preparatory activities - The effect on safety will be determined after the completion of the DANUBE FAB FRA real time simulation. Environment (including flight efficiency) FRA preparatory activities The introduction of FRA will enable the DANUBE FAB to deliver direct routes for the en-route segment and hence contribute fully to the EU-wide target of enroute horizontal flight efficiency. DLS preparatory activities N/A Cost efficiency DLS preparatory activities - Optimised operating costs associated with more efficient sectorisation due to the enabled by the DLS sector capacity increase. Cooperation Activities FRA preparatory activities - FRA will contribute towards the achievement of EU-wide costefficiency target, through maintaining the workload levels and high throughput.

Project Name: FRA Operations Implementation in DANUBE FAB Project Code: - Organisation(s) ROMATSA (RO), BULATSA (BG) Description/Scope/Objectives FRA Operations Implementation in DANUBE FAB as a Project includes, inter alia, actions for the definition of a common operational concept, common operating and training procedures and development of a safety case for FRA Operations within DANUBE FAB, to give assurance that provision of ATS in DANUBE FAB, after implementation of FRA Operations, will remain at least as safe as today or will improve safety. This Project includes a large scale Real Time Simulation (RTS) to prove the most applicable extension of FRA operation hours during day and night. The aim of this activity is to focus on the extension of DANUBE FAB FRA Operations during night towards full (24 hour) free route operations implementation. Project s phases: Phase I Implementation of night Free Route operations within national boundaries COMPLETED on 14th November 2013, six months ahead of schedule; Phase II Implementation of night DANUBE FAB common FRA will be introduced in Q1 2016; Phase III Extension of Free Route operations outside the night period (up to 24/7 operations) is planned to be achieved in Schedule/Implementation planning Status LSSIP Year 2014 Romania 33 Released Issue

46 The DANUBE FAB stakeholders invested significant effort in order to successfully implement phase 1 of the DANUBE FAB FRA project (i.e. FRA at national level at night time) by 14th November 2013 six months ahead of schedule and earlier than the expectations of the NSP (planned for 2014). This marks the successful implementation of the first phase of FRA within DANUBE FAB, with two further phases to follow, unlocking increased benefits for airspace users. The inception of FRA project in DANUBE FAB has started to fully open the airspace, providing virtually unrestricted flight planning freedom without a pre-defined set of Direct Routing (DCT) options. Initial FRA project set-up, combined with other network improvements provides an unmatched performance in terms of flight trajectory efficiency. In December 2014, DANUBE FAB concluded an agreement with EUROCONTROL to provide a Real Time Simulation to determine the most applicable extension of Free Routes Airspace up to 24/7 operations within DANUBE FAB airspace.

For the first six months of 2014 the average en-route extension (as measured by the Performance Scheme s actual horizontal flight efficiency Key Performance Indicator (KPI) (KEA KPI) for DANUBE FAB has been significantly reduced compared to the same period in 2013 (according to the data provided by the PRB). Extension of Free Route operations outside the night period (daytime FRA) by 2019, will enable full benefit and contribution to the EU-wide environmental target. Cost efficiency FRA will contribute towards the achievement of EU-wide cost-efficiency target, through maintaining the workload levels and high throughput. This will make a further contribution towards the optimised use of airspace. Cooperation Activities Ongoing activities for FRA Real Time Simulation (RTS) and FRA Safety Case.

48 In 2014, the DANUBE FAB ANSPs negotiated a contract with communication service providers (SITA and/or ARINC) to ensure the ground communication systems, and their constituents apply air-ground communications for CM and CPDLC data exchanges in compliance with Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 29/2009, allowing ATN/VDL2. This activity remains in progress. To support the DLS activity, the DANUBE FAB ANSPs successfully applied for TEN-T funds, with the aim of optimising the air-ground data link implementing to reduce costs and to maximise network benefits. Through this approach, the DANUBE FAB ANSPs will ensure that implementation will achieve maximum cost efficiency and value for money. Through the TEN-T activity, a harmonised FAB approach towards DLS implementation has been established. The studies will develop efficient procedures and provide an early understanding of how the DLS implementation will affect ATCO workload and how this would eventually translate into available airspace capacity. Under the co-financed activity the DANUBE FAB ANSPs have defined a common operational concept, including the development of a common operating and training procedures for DLS operations within the FAB. This was completed in May In November 2014, the DANUBE FAB ANSPs performed an RTS, with the clear objective to study the implementation of the DLS and associated procedures. Through this RTS the DANUBE FAB ANSPs validated the operational concept and aspects of CPDLC (such as functionalities, HMI and the related procedures). During the same period, a Safety Case study for DLS was conducted.

Project Name: Regional Route Network Developments Project Code: - Organisation(s) ROMATSA (RO), BULATSA (BG), HungaroControl (HU), SMATSA (SR), UkSATSE (UA), MOLDATSA (MD) Description/Scope/Objectives Further improvements of ATS network in South-East Europe have been addressed during the RNDSG, SEERM and RDGE meetings. The main objectives are to review the route network improvement proposals raised by States, IATA, IACA, ERA and EUROCONTROL. Within the context of these proposals, Romania is currently improving cooperation on regional route network development with all its neighbours, as follows: Bulgaria (BULATSA), Hungary (HungaroControl), Serbia (SMATSA), Ukraine (UkSATSE) and Moldova (MOLDATSA). The interface with Bulgaria is subject to regional and bi-lateral meetings. The implementation of interface improvements with Bulgaria has been done before the summer season 2009 and is currently taken into consideration under the Danube FAB. In 2012 important bilateral decisions between ROMATSA and HungaroControl were taken to improve the airspace interface and the cooperation in technical domain regarding major improvements of the ATS routes at the common interface, and of the air traffic flows, over the Bucharest Budapest FIRs border. In 2012 an operational and technical meeting was held in Chisinau in order to improve the cooperation between ROMATSA, UkSATSE (Ukrainian ANSP) and MOLDATSA (Moldovan ANSP). The meeting provided an overview of the existing ATM systems and plans for the future, of the existing institutional arrangements and aviation legislation, and of the route network development and free route airspace. In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 the Night Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept has been successfully implemented within Bucuresti FIR.This concept allows the airspace users to freely plan a route via published way points and radio navigation aids without complying with the existing system of air routes. Free Route Airspace is available from 2300 to 0500 UTC during the winter time period and from 2200 to 0400 UTC during the summer time period for all aircraft performing flights above flight level 105. In the long-term the application of the concept will result in reduced emissions from aviation activities and will contribute to achieving a faster, more efficient and more affordable air transport at the same or higher levels of safety. Schedule/Implementation planning In December 2014, DANUBE FAB concluded an agreement with EUROCONTROL to provide a Real Time Simulation to determine the most applicable extension of Free Routes Airspace up to 24/7 operations within DANUBE FAB airspace. Status The process is ongoing. Implementation of Night Free Route operations within national boundaries of ROMANIA and BULGARIA was completed in November The gradual implementation process to extend FRA operations at national and DANUBE FAB level during daytime is ongoing.
