Page 2 Cockpit Initiatives for ATM Airbus vision on ATM transformation
Airbus position in ATM transformation Airbus is fully convinced of the need for ATM transformation for the benefits of airspace users. It s a condition for a sustainable development of air transport, improving capacity and safety, reducing the impact on environment, but also providing a better flight efficiency with significant cost savings for the airlines. ATM transformation is based on a greater air/ground systems interactions and so is requiring evolutions in both airborne and ground equipment. Global interoperability of ATM systems worldwide is required to avoid duplication of equipment and ensure good flight efficiency everywhere in the world Page 3
The core of ATM transformation: towards 4D trajectory management Future A320 Trajectory Management Know & Share the current & planned a/c positions Potential ground uses of the aircraft 4D trajectory Increased level of automation and of ground/board interactions Page 4

FANS A+ / FANS B+: operational benefits CPDLC: Better communications quality (data vs. voice) Alleviated workload for ATC controller and flight crew Freeing up of voice communication channels Reduced clearance delivery time Allows the flight crew to print ATC messages ADS-C: Enables reduced separation between aircraft More efficient and direct routes Automatic downlink of position reports FANS B+ / ATN B1 deployment in Europe expected benefits: Decrease of ATCO workload Reduction of ATM delays and operating flight costs Higher safety level.

Avoiding penalizing vectoring instructions (path stretching, holding patterns, etc.). Better planning: Increased predictability of the real trajectory and arrival time. Early agreement with the flight crew on the trajectory to be flown. Improved safety: Through enhanced anticipation of traffic situation by ATC. Page 8
Surface operations - Taxi Clearance Taxi clearance can provide the following improvements: Safety improvements (No voice communication misunderstanding ) Enhanced situational awareness Traffic display around the runway Indications and alerts for risk of collision or runway incursion Navigation efficiency Reduction of crew workload Consistent presentation of the information to the pilot and to the controller on the Surface Manager Continuation on the ground of the Trajectory Management Examples of Taxi clearances displayed on ND Example of Textual Taxi clearance received from ATC Ground request menu Page 9
Increase ATM capacity at airport surface - Brake To Vacate Automatically brake in order to vacate at a pre-landing pilot-selected exit taxiway & protect A/C from runway overrun Guarantee to vacate at the assigned Exit with Reduction of Taxi-Out Time to the gate dry wet Runway overrun Warning ATM benefits Reduced Runway occupation Time, this increasing runway throughput Real time prediction & Automatic Braking Runway overrun protection Earlier surface planning: taxi route, taxi time Turn around management: better adherence to schedules and better CDM Reduced noise and emissions Page 10

Benefits of surveillance enhancement through ADS-B Step 3: ASPA S&M A/C instructed to maintain spacing from a target aircraft : better traffic sequencing enhancing capacity. AFR651 2 A320 M 323 +11 1 st Flight test performed on 27/11/2012 on A320 test A/C 90 Step 4: ASEP A/C instructed to maintain separation from another aircraft during a limited period : safer separation and reduction of air traffic controller workload ADS-B ADS-B Step 1: ADS-B Out A/C information broadcasted for ground use only: better traffic surveillance at lower cost ADS-B ADS-B Receiver Step 2: ATSAW Display of other ADS-B A/C info in the cockpit : better traffic situation awareness enhancing safety Page 12 Air Traffic Control

Conclusion Airbus firmly believes that improvement of ATM globally requires further integration of airborne and ground systems, A first step being use of current advanced airborne capabilities Further ATM performance improvements will be based on trajectory sharing for air and ground operations Interoperability will be enhanced by adherence to ICAO Aviation System Block Upgrade approach Airbus is supporting the worldwide ATM transformation Page 17
