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 Is the European 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 645/2013. The implementation of cross-border activities within Danube FAB was completed on 11 th December 2014 and 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. As a further step in FRA implementation, Night Free Route Airspace between Bucuresti CTA and Budapest FIR (N-FRAB) has been implemented starting from the 20th of August The aircraft operators are no longer bound to follow the fixed route network, being now able to plan their flights freely between the entry and the exit points of the airspace of the two countries, based on their needs. Traffic and Capacity Traffic in Romania increased by 2.3% during Summer 2015 (May to October), when compared to Summer The STATFOR medium-term forecast (MTF) predicts an average annual traffic growth between 1.7% and 5.6% throughout the planning cycle , with a baseline growth of 3.7%. No problems are foreseen for Bucharest ACC in the current planning cycle. The plan is in line with the high traffic growth capacity requirements, thus reflecting current traffic developments at the ACC. LSSIP Year 2015 Romania 1 Released Issue

12 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: A-SMGCS control equipment installation is finalised, the system being technically approved, currently 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 and 2015 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. CDA (ENV01) is applied to the tactical phase; further study on publishing CDA procedures is under development. CDA approach is authorized on pilots' request. For the implementation of ATC07.1 we are in the process of identifying the solution for AMAN implementation, in order to develop the operational, technical and safety requirements for AMAN in the context of the new ATM system No special difficulties were encountered in the implementation of the objectives during the reporting period LSSIP Romania * FOC Date Planned implementation date (see legend at the bottom of the table) State-related ESSIP Objectives AOM13.1 <= Harmonise Operational Air Traffic (OAT) and General Air Traffic (GAT) handling * AOM19 Implement Advanced Airspace Management * AOM21.1 AOM21.2 Implementation of Direct Routing Implement Free Route Airspace AOP03 Improve runway safety by preventing runway incursions * [PCP] [E] * [PCP] [E] * ATC02.5 Implement ground based safety nets - Area Proximity Warning - level 2 * ATC02.6 Implement ground based safety nets - Minimum Safe Altitude Warning - level 2 * ATC02.7 Implement ground based safety nets - Approach Path Monitor - level 2 * ATC12.1 Implement automated support for conflict detection, resolution support information and conformance monitoring * ATC15 Implement, in En-Route operations, information exchange mechanisms, tools and procedures in support of Basic AMAN operations * ATC16 Implement ACAS II compliant with TCAS II change 7.1 * ATC17 Electronic Dialogue as Automated Assistance to Controller during Coordination and Transfer * COM10 Migrate from AFTN to AMHS * COM11 Implementation of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in ATM * FCM01 Implement enhanced tactical flow management services * FCM03 Implement collaborative flight planning * FCM04 Implementation of Short Term ATFCM Measures - phase LSSIP Year 2015 Romania 2 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.

20 1.1.3 Airspace Classification and Organisation ICAO airspace classification is applied within Bucuresti FIR. Airspace in BUCURESTI FIR is classified according to the provisions of ICAO Annex 11 and in compliance with the EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A), as follows: 1. Class C airspace, that comprises: - All ATS routes in BUCURESTI FIR - All Aerodrome Control Zones (CTR): Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Băneasa, Otopeni, Cluj, Constanţa, Craiova, Iaşi, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Târgu Mureş, Timişoara, Tulcea; - TMA CONSTANŢA, TMA ARAD. - Airspace in BUCURESTI FIR above FL105. The ICAO airspace classification of Class C airspace above FL 105 is applicable since Nov through joint MoT- MoD order no 693 M173/ 2003, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 165/ 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/ Class A airspace, that comprises: TMA BUCURESTI. 3. Class G airspace, that comprises: all Control Zones of Aerial Work and Airfields of Sports Activity, all airspace in BUCURESTI FIR not designated with another class and Restricted Areas 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. As a further step in FRA implementation, Night Free Route Airspace between Bucuresti CTA and Budapest FIR (N-FRAB) has been implemented starting from the 20th of August The aircraft operators are no longer bound to follow the fixed route network, being now able to plan their flights freely between the entry and the exit points of the airspace of the two countries, based on their needs. General principles of Free Route Airspace operations: a. Horizontal and vertical limits of the implementation area: - The lateral limits of N-FRAB are defined as the airspace encompassed by the lateral limits of Budapest FIR and Bucuresti CTA. - The vertical limits of N-FRAB are defined as follows: - FL105 FL660 in Bucuresti CTA, excluding TMAs, FL 105 FL245 within sector DF1, FL245 FL660 within sector DF2 - Ground FL660 in Budapest FIR Note: - for lateral limits of Bucuresti CTA, see AIP Romania ENR 2.1, - for lateral limits of DF1 and DF2, see AIP Romania ENR b. Class of airspace - N-FRAB has been implemented in Class C airspace, with the exception of TMAs and CTRs. c. FRA Operating hours - N-FRAB is available from 2300 to 0500 UTC during the winter time period and from 2200 to 0400 UTC during the summer time period. LSSIP Year 2015 Romania 8 Released Issue

21 d. Planning aspects - During N-FRAB, users will be able to plan user-preferred trajectories through the use of published FRA relevant waypoints included in ENR 4.4, and relevant Radio Navigation Aids (ENR 4.1) with or without reference to the published ATS route network, which remains available during FRA operating hours. - The access from/ to TMA/ CTR areas are effected using the fixed ATS route network, using dedicated connection points published in AIP Romania. - Segments between waypoints will be indicated by means of DCT instruction. Within N- FRAB there will be no limitations on the length of DCT neither on the number of intermediate points. - Cross-Border DCTs are NOT allowed, except over the Romanian-Hungarian border where FRA Operation is permitted according to the RAD published by EUROCONTROL (see ENR 1.10 for details). - During the availability of N-FRAB significant points established on the common FIR border shall be considered as intermediate points. The planning of DCT segments closer than 3 NM to the N-FRAB border is not allowed. - During the availability of N-FRAB, the rules concerning the use of mandatory intermediate points for traffic inbound LROP prescribed in ENR shall be applied for the final phase of flight. - All Night Free Route operation within N-FRAB constraints, exceptions and restrictions, if any, are published via the RAD and promulgated in accordance with ENR 1.10 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.

23 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.

24 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 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.

25 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. 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 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: NO ROMATSA Services provided 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.

48 The results of these studies, regarding options for airspace design and requirements for system evolution will form a basis for the next two phases of the project: Full Free Route Airspace at FAB level will be gradually implemented by 2019, contributing towards the EU-wide performance targets and enhancing the optimised use of airspace DANUBE FAB cooperation An agreement between DANUBE FAB and FAB CE was signed in October 2015 to establish regular cooperation, especially in the operations, technical, training, performance and safety areas. This follows a similar agreement signed with BLUE MED FAB in October Collectively, these agreements form a triangle of cooperation for performance improvement in the South-Eastern and Central European region. Regarding the extension of the geographical scope, the long-term strategy of DANUBE FAB is to apply a transitional process in which other States are initially granted observer status. In October 2015, the Republic of Macedonia was formally awarded the observer status and attending delegates were invited to take a role in observing ongoing FAB initiatives. The European Commission was also granted observer status to DANUBE FAB in order to increase the ability of the Commission to monitor FAB progress. At a wider EU level, an Inter-FAB Coordination Workshop (IFCW) was hosted by DANUBE FAB in October This workshop formally established the Terms of Reference between all nine FABs in Europe, forming a unique platform that brings together political, regulatory and service provision representatives under one roof Performance DANUBE FAB faced significant performance related challenges in 2015 both under or outside its direct control. One of the main challenges was the assessment of the European Commission regarding DANUBE FAB Performance Plan for the second reference period ( ). In March 2015 DANUBE FAB targets for safety, environment and cost-efficiency had been assessed as being consistent with the EU-wide targets, while those for capacity had been assessed as not consistent, according to the European Commission decisions no. 347 and 348/2015. Revised capacity targets submitted by DANUBE FAB were confirmed to be consistent by the PRB in October 2015 and new EC decision is expected to be adopted in early Another major challenge has been the significant increase of traffic and the evolution of main macroeconomic indicators with direct impact on performance targets. Despite these, DANUBE FAB took all the necessary measures to fulfil its capacity and cost-efficiency targets while improving safety Future plans According to the DANUBE FAB Annual Plan for 2016, the High Priority Projects represent the most urgent tasks or activities to be undertaken or implemented in 2016 within DANUBE FAB. These Priority Projects aim to ensure the focus is on significant or vital projects within DANUBE FAB, and therefore represent the areas where real work is necessary in order to ensure the FAB meets EU requirements or to ensure evolution of the FAB. These projects are: Free Route Airspace DANUBE FAB has committed to implementing FAB-wide Free Route Airspace beyond nightime operations by From , this activity has been supported by TEN-T funds. The activities culminated in a large scale Real Time Simulation which was conducted in Autumn DANUBE FAB will implement Full Free Route Airspace based on a phased approach until Technical Rationalisation and Infrastructure DANUBE FAB jointly plans its CNS infrastructure development and where possible conducts common procurement. The objective of this project is to further develop the cooperation in the technical domain by identifying opportunities to coordinate, rationalize and/or share technical infrastructure, thereby generating cost savings.

This Project included 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 was to focus on the extension of DANUBE FAB FRA Operations during night towards full (24 hour) free route operations implementation. DANUBE FAB will implement Full Free Route Airspace based on a phased approach until Phase I Implementation of night Free Route operations within national boundaries was completed on 14th November 2013, six months ahead of schedule. Schedule/Implementation planning Status 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. DANUBE FAB conducted comprehensive Real Time Simulations at EUROCONTROL s Experimental Centre in October and November DANUBE FAB controllers and pilots took part in the study which aimed to assess the conditions under which extension up to permanent 24 hour FRA is possible.

60 5.3 Regional cooperation Regional Cooperation Initiatives GateOne Initiative The DANUBE FAB ANSPs are signatories parties of the GateOne cooperation agreement on the creation of the regional ANSP platform of Central and Eastern Europe which was signed by the designated 13 ANSPs covering 3 existing FABs (Baltic FAB, DANUBE FAB and FAB CE) and 2 non-eu FIRs (Belgrade and Skopje), with the aim to promote the efficiency of European ATM through an enhanced cooperation among the participating service providers and to ensure a more powerful and coordinated role of the countries of the region in the European decision-making processes. Since the GateOne (GO) establishment, three meetings were held at the level of Coordination Committee and CEO, the last held in December 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria. The CEOs of the GO Initiative agreed to strengthen their operational and technical cooperation. As a pilot common project the GATE ONE CEOs agreed to investigate possibilities to synchronize cross-border Free Route (FRA) implementation in the region for the airspace serviced by GO members. GO members will continue with their ongoing FAB development and national ATM improvement projects. GATE ONE FRA will be built step by step, making best use of the lessons learnt from similar regional initiatives and of benefits from SES/SESAR deployment. Another significant outcome of the meeting was the accession of SMATSA (the Serbian-Montenegro ANSP) and M-NAV (Macedonian ANSP) to the GO initiative Inter-FAB Coordination Platform As an output of the first meeting of all 9 FABs in Amsterdam in November 2014, there was a willingness to set up a permanent Inter-FAB Cooperation Platform, which was further analysed as how this would be achieved in a working meeting in Zurich (March 2015). Significant effort was therefore put in prior to the workshop to ensure that the workshop developed and shaped the platform as much as possible. In October 2015 DANUBE FAB hosted the second Inter-FAB coordination workshop in Bucharest, with the aim of shaping the platform as much as possibly. Delegates from all 9 Functional Airspace Blocks were in attendance from a range of institutions: Ministries of Defence, Ministries of Transport, National Supervisory Authorities and Air Navigation Service Providers. This workshop formally established the Terms of Reference between all nine FABs in Europe, forming a unique platform that brings together political, regulatory and service provision representatives. The platform aims to improve FAB performance through wide ranging cooperation and coordination and provides a place to share lessons learned about successful FAB projects, giving ideas for collective areas of development. The workshop showed the willingness for FABs to form a strong and cohesive voice in Europe, demonstrating that FABs exist, they cooperate, and intend to cooperate even closer to improve the European ATM Network Bilatteral Inter-FAB cooperation agreements An agreement between DANUBE FAB and FAB CE was signed in October 2015 to establish regular cooperation, especially in the operations, technical, training, performance and safety areas. This follows a similar agreement signed with BLUE MED FAB in October Collectively, these agreements form a triangle of cooperation for performance improvement in the South-Eastern and Central European region Cooperation initiatives with third countries Several DANUBE FAB initiatives to cooperate with non-eu States have been undertaken. It is a long-term strategy of DANUBE FAB to extend its geographical scope; for this purpose the DANUBE FAB has developed an Observers policy to enable other States and FABs to participate in order to ease the transition towards full partnership. To this end, at the 6th Governing Council in October 2015, the Republic of Macedonia was formally granted the observer status allowing particiption in DANUBE FAB Governing Council sessions. The European Commission was also granted observer status to DANUBE FAB as a tool to monitor FAB progress. LSSIP Year 2015 Romania 48 Released Issue

Operational use of Coordination dialogue is pending and depends on the agreement with neighbouring ACCs and availability of the functions in their ATC systems. The operational ATM system is FMTP capable and FMTP is implemented between Arad, Bucharest, Constanta systems and with adjacent countries (Belgrade, Budapest, Sofia, Chisinau ATM systems). Coordination with Ukraine is pending, subject to the adjacent ANSP's similar capabilities.

63 Environment (including flight efficiency) - Cost efficiency - Cooperation Activities The OLDI interface and functionalities used are subject to individual agreements among the participating organisations. 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 respectively was completed in November The gradual implementation process to extend FRA operations at national and DANUBE FAB level during daytime is ongoing. As a further step in FRA implementation, Night Free Route Airspace between Bucuresti CTA and Budapest FIR (N- FRAB) has been implemented starting from the 20th of August The aircraft operators are no longer bound to follow the fixed route network, being now able to plan their flights freely between the entry and the exit points of the airspace of the two countries, based on their needs. N-FRAB is available from 2300 to 0500 UTC during the winter time period and from 2200 to 0400 UTC during the summer time period. LSSIP Year 2015 Romania 51 Released Issue
