Optimizing Airspace Operations Today UAS OPERATIONS PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS ICAO Safety Standards & Infrastructure PBN IMPLEMENTATION CIVIL/MILITARY COOPERATION FUTURE SYSTEMS What We Do - Sustainability/Infrastructure REDUCTIONS IN SEPARATION MINIMA 5
Expediting Benefits-driven PBN Implementation Deploying Go-Teams, in conjunction with Industry, for PBN implementation 6 teams will be deployed per year (through 2013) Workshops on: Airspace design (4 per year), Operations approval Continuous descent/climb operations (3 per year) Implement new flight plan content enable use of advanced capabilities on board aircraft New PBN guidance material will be produced Focus on increased route predictability and increased aerodrome accessibility 6
Reductions in Separation Minima ICAO is working on following aspects to implement reductions in separation minima: Use of 3 NM separation between aircraft utilizing automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) & multilateration (2012) Use of 2.5 NM separation between in-trail aircraft up to 20 miles from the runway threshold (2013) 7
Civil/Military Cooperation and Common Use of Airspace ICAO issued Circular 330 - Civil Military Cooperation in ATM in 2010 ICAO will hold five collaborative seminars/workshops from 2011 to 2013 in: Africa Asia/Pacific Eastern Europe Middle East North America/Caribbean/South America Second Global Forum on Civil/Military Cooperation in ATM in 2014 8
Challenges and solutions Political and economic challenges Technical and operational challenges Aviation s most senior leaders and decision makers have a unique opportunity, and responsibility, to work together To bring a globally interoperable aviation system into reality ICAO is bringing together senior aviation decision makers To develop some consensus and advocacy to move the aviation system of the future into our today This group is called the Future Aviation Challenge Team 9
A Team Effort 10
ICAO s Approach 37 th Session of ICAO Assembly (2010) directed Organization to sustain its focus on safety and redouble its efforts to support global interoperability ICAO established programmatic framework for States that have advanced efforts to come together to develop Aviation System Global Block Upgrades Europe, US, Japan and (if needed) others, Russian Federation supported this approach and intends to submit its programme for integration and collaboration ICAO s approach is based on 4 steps 11
Step 1 Get harmonization on the global agenda Initial Symposium (2008) Convened Standards Organization Roundtable (2009) Established working agreements with Standards Organizations on work programmes 12
Step 2 Global Aviation Block Upgrades A block upgrade is a package of capabilities (called a module) which has essential qualities of: Clearly defined measurable operational improvement with appropriate metric to determine success Necessary equipment and/or systems in aircraft and on ground along with operational approval or certification plan Standards, procedures and technical specifications for airborne & ground systems Positive business case over clearly defined period of time 13
Advantage of ICAO s Approach Block Upgrades provide a series of measurable, operational performance improvements Organized into flexible & scalable building blocks Could be introduced as needed Implemented as each individual State requires the capability 14
What is the Basis for Block Upgrades? Foundation of blocks originates from existing, near term implementation plans and access to benefits that already exist Blocks are based on operational concepts extracted from: Aligned with ICAO ATM Operational Concept Intent is to apply key capabilities and performance improvements across other regional and local environments with same level of performance and associated benefits worldwide Block Upgrades will allow structured approach to meet needs of individual aviation communities worldwide while considering associated business cases They reflect recognition that all modules are not required in all airspaces 15

Step 3 Global Rollout & Feedback at GANIS ICAO will host the Global Air Navigation Industry Symposium (GANIS) 20-23 September 2011 Allow States and industry partners to gain insight Obtain feedback Ultimately commit to initiative Series of regional workshops in coming months www.icao.int/ganis 19
Step 4 International Agreement AN-Conf/12 19-30 November 2012 Opportunity for global aviation community to cement near-and midterm future of aviation infrastructure and airborne equipage Put forth strategies to focus research and development for longer-term requirements To achieve this, ICAO plans to revise GANP Focus on operational capabilities needed to manage various ATM system requirements around world 20
Step 4 (Cont d) New GANP will have 3 specific planning elements for tomorrow s aviation system: Series of operational improvements (block upgrades) and identification of work programmes and efforts required for implementation Avionics Roadmap centered around block upgrades (that are eventually agreed upon) ATC Communication Plan: an electronic regional Air Navigation Planning facility that provides transparent, real-time regional planning capability Conference will be the venue for all States to: Continue to secure the future of international system Ensure its interoperability at reasonable cost e 21
