WHY ASM? Average AIRAC cycle 2014 27355 IFPS flights per AIRAC cycle on average 12034 interested flights on CDR1s 7426 effectively planning at least one CDR1 segment 2254 interested flights on CDR2s 1413 effectively planning at least one CDR2 segment Figure 1 ECAC map of published CDR, CDR2,CDR1/2, CDR1/3 and CDR2/3 for the last AIRAC (1413) of the year 2014 enter your presentation title 3
ASM and AFUA Primary Objectives Improve Network performance through better utilisation of existing ASM processes; Enhance performance driven ASM/ATFCM processes (including those ATS processes that are linked to the ASM/ATFCM processes); Introduce more dynamic and flexible ASM/ATFCM/ATS processes; Provide for safe, efficient and accurate information/data flows.
ASM and AFUA Phases The first phase ( up to 2015) is focused on the consolidation of recent improvements and the finalisation of objectives under discussion. The second phase (up to 2017) will be focus on the introduction of improvements aiming to support an effective airspace management in a free route environment, including the initial management of real time airspace data and dynamic airspace configuration. The third phase (up to 2020) will be dedicated to the exploitation of a full rolling ASM/ATFCM/ATC process (no more snapshots), supported by an automatic share of information among the different stakeholders (B2B), for the management of suitable dynamic airspace configuration offering the best ATM performance to satisfy airspace users requests.

First set of improvements Revision of ASM Handbook (2013) Alignment to ERNIP Part 1; Stress the management of airspace volume in alternative to CDR through the AUP/UUP process; Revision of FUA Indicators; Introduction of a new Indicator: RoAA= rate of Areas Availability; Similar to RoCA; Not yet measured due to the lack of areas information by some States. 10
Second set of improvements new AUP Template - Background AOs strongly require a single source of information to process all airspace status information; AOs support the usage of AUP because processed automatically via B2B; Additional information needs to be process via AUP in order to support operations in FRA environment; Additional information requested by AOs. 11

FUA RESTRICTIONS FUA restrictions are Hard Traffic Flow restrictions implemented in CACD (same as RAD restrictions). FPL s violating a FUA restriction will become invalid and the IFPO or FPL originator must correct the error. FUA restriction are used for daily allocation of areas FUA restrictions are only implemented in CACD after a request/ coordination with involved State(s)/ANSP(s). More FUA restrictions can be defined for each area

FBZ - Definition The FPL Buffer Zone (FBZ) is the associated airspace which may be applied to a reserved/restricted area. The FBZ defines the lateral and vertical limits for the purpose of submitting a valid IFR FPL when such areas are active or planned to be active.

Areas AUP Publication vs NOTAM ASM Handbook doesn t contain any requirement for publication of NOTAM in case of AMA activation For NAM activation existing in CACD; NAM information is reported according to AIP information; Change or activation of NAM areas notified via NOTAM are also published in AUP/UUP The ASM Handbook guidelines doesn t exclude the possibility for States to publish NOTAM as well in case of AMA activation via AUP; These NOTAMs plus any other NOTAM, unless specifically asked by States and or impacting traffic (FUA/EU restriction), are not processed by CADF staff; If NOTAM published and information notified via AUP/UUP needs of consistency (Buffer Time). Solution to overcome proliferation of NOTAM and answering AOs requirements of national source: Report in AIP or AIP supplement/notam for temporary manageable areas that activation will be notified via AUP/UUP 28

FRA ASM Operations Tactical Management - Improvements Quite Flexible but risks of increasing predictability Promote FPL process Extensive use of AUP/UUP; Therefore validity time for any UUP change. promote management of volume closure (force airspace users to refile). Improve accuracy airspace booking; Enhance usage procedure 3. Promote coordination of tactical management at FAB level Ensure maximum extension at FAB and not State level Coordination of areas allocation to minimise impact on traffic flows To ensure synchronisation Achieve a better re-routing from entry to exit points at FAB level ATCOs procedures
FRA ASM Operations PCA Prior Coordination Airspace (PCA) is a portion of airspace of defined dimensions within which individual GAT is permitted to fly "off-route" only after prior coordination initiated by controllers of GAT flights with controllers of OAT flights. enter your presentation title 32
FRA ASM Operations RCA Reduced Coordination Airspace (RCA) is a portion of airspace of defined dimensions within which GAT is permitted to fly "off-route" without requiring controllers of GAT flights to initiate coordination with controllers of OAT flights. enter your presentation title 33
FRA ASM Operations Tactical Management for OAT crossing controlled airspace (ATS route, CDR, CTA) ASM Handbook, Section 5 When bilaterally agreed, the controller responsible for GAT should be provided with the plan of action of the controller responsible for OAT intending to cross a specific portion of controlled airspace under his/her responsibility. Accordingly, a notification of intention is sent by controller responsible for OAT to the controller responsible for GAT. The display to the GAT controller of all relevant OAT flight data allows the controller to be aware of the foreseen crossing conditions and to initiate coordination, if required. Division of the responsibility or the provision of separation between OAT and GAT is subject to detailed description in relevant LoAs. When the crossing requires prior coordination, the OAT controller sends, by means of a silent coordination message, a request for the crossing of controlled airspace (ATS route, CDR, and CTA). This request is responded to by the GAT controller by means of a silent coordination message. The answer contains either an acceptance of crossing parameters or, if not acceptable, an alternative proposal, including revised crossing data (heading, FL, etc.). Verbal coordination is used if the alternative proposal is not acceptable.
