BACKGROUND In response to the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 677/2011 of 7 July 2011 (laying down the detailed rules for the implementation of air traffic management (ATM) network functions amending Regulation (EU) No 691/2010), and Regulation (EU) No 691/2010, the Network Manager. This document, as part of the Network Operations Plan (NOP), helps to ensure the achievement of European Union-wide performance targets during the implementation of system / airspace transition projects. EU Regulation 677/2011 covers the regulation of ATM Network Functions and requires the NM to include in the NOP the following elements relevant to the planning of major projects: A network forecast taking into account special events ; A description of plans and actions at local and network level; An overview of special events with significant ATM ; A description of individual special events and their handling from a network perspective; A consolidated forecast and analysis of the operational performance of the network, including the of special events. 01/10/2013 1
1. INTRODUCTION TRANSITION PLAN FOR MAJOR PROJECTS IN EUROPE The Transition Plan describes the processes, the activities, the plans and measures that will be applied by the Network Manager and the operational stakeholders, to minimise the on the network performance caused by major airspace or ATM system improvement projects. The Transition Plan is a living document that forms part of the Network Operations Plan (NOP). The Transition Plan deals only with scheduled significant events that could lead to a temporary reduction of capacity and that may require mitigation measures agreed in a partnership approach at Network level. Examples of such events are: implementation of new ATM system, move to new ACC Ops room, major airspace reorganisation including change to the ACC area of responsibility, opening of new airports, etc. 1.1 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE 1.1.1. Objective The primary objective of the Transition Plan is to deliver the optimum ATM performance at European network level, taking into account temporary capacity limitations caused by the preparation and implementation of individual and combined major airspace and ATM system improvement projects. Further objectives of the consolidated Transition Plan are: - To ensure the coordination and synchronisation of major projects; - To ensure an analysis of the resulting on network performance; - To propose measures to mitigate capacity limitations; - To ensure monitoring of individual project progress; - To review the mitigation measures in the case of slippage or changes to the original plan; - To ensure post-operations analysis; - To document and share best practice. 1.1.2. Scope The Transition Plan covers the following areas: - Coordination among parties involved - Capacity analysis and proposals; - Airspace, sectorisation analysis and proposals; - Detailed local transition plans; - Consolidated Network transition plan; - Local and Network measures and proposals. 01/10/2013 2
1.2 ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The Network Manager s role in the transition planning process is: 1) to collect and consolidate all known information on major projects transition plans; 2) support the ANSPs in the preparation of their transition plans; 3) to analyse the effect, through simulation, of temporary capacity reductions or flight efficiency ; 4) to analyse the at network level of individual and overlapping or consecutive projects; 5) to coordinate, agree and prioritise the strategic and tactical ATFCM mitigation measures; 6) to ensure optimum management of the Network, taking into account known limitations; 7) to perform post-operations analyses, documenting lessons learnt and making them available for future transition planning exercises. The ANSP role is to provide the following information to the NM: 1) early notification of planned project including expected capacity and timescale as soon as project is confirmed; 2) planned dates for each phase of the project that may capacity or flight efficiency; 3) details of available sector configurations, opening schemes and default sector/ Traffic Volume (TV) monitoring values for each phase of the project; 4) notification, with as much notice as possible, of any changes to the timescales and/or capacity information; 5) work with NM and apply the agreed measures. 01/10/2013 3
2. TRANSITION PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS 2.1 MAIN PRINCIPLES When preparing the consolidated Transition Plan, the Network Manager will apply the following main principles: a. Recognise airspace users needs, both civil and military; b. Ensure a balance between capacity and flight efficiency; c. Ensure a balanced approach between European network, regional and local requirements; d. Ensure a coordinated and integrated approach for the collective benefit of airspace users, Air Navigation Service Providers, civil and military authorities through a collaborative planning process; e. Ensure notification of operational to all ACCs affected by the measures taken; f. Maintain regional interconnectivity between the affected airspace and adjacent areas; g. Apply a cost-effective solution; h. Consider the operational requirements and of a project; 2.2 TRANSITION PLANNING PROCESS The transition planning is a joint activity between the ANSP(s) concerned and the Network Manager, which starts as soon as the ANSP decides to undertake a major improvement project that will temporarily affect the performance of the ATM network. It is important that the planning process begins at the early stages of the project, leaving sufficient time for any adaptations in terms of capacity, airspace availability and procedures, to minimise the on the network performance during the transition phase. The process needs to be conducted at the level of a single ACC, or an ATC unit, the principal bearer of the project activities.

The Transition Planning process has the following stages: 1. Early notification of individual projects (ANSP); 2. Initial consolidation and analysis at Network level (NM); 3. High level synchronisation and coordination (NM); 4. Provision of detailed capacity and performance data for each phase of the project (ANSP); 5. In-depth analysis of individual and combined projects (NM); 6. Development and agreement of mitigation measures (NM and ANSP/FAB); 7. Transition plan implementation (NM and ANSP/FAB); 8. Post Implementation analysis (NM). 2.2.1 Early Notification of Individual Projects (ANSP) The planning for a large scale project can start several years ahead and must be included in the ANSP capacity plan shared with NM. There will be only one focal point per project, nominated by the ANSP. The project owner will notify the NM through the NOP development process as soon as the project is confirmed, together with an initial assessment of the. Capacity / Traffic density Low Impact Medium Impact High Impact local with low prospect of affecting adjacent area or traffic at sub-regional level, and/or project is located in an area of low traffic density. on adjacent area with prospect to affect traffic flows at sub-regional or regional level, and/or project is located in an area of medium traffic density. at sub-regional or regional level, and/or project is located in an area of high traffic density. This will ensure that all entities that may be affected will be notified in a timely manner, enabling coordination and synchronisation with other projects in the same or adjacent areas. 2.2.2 Initial consolidation and analysis at Network level (NM) The NM will store the information provided by the ANSP on the NOP portal. A process will be introduced to ensure that all concerned stakeholders have full visibility and receive notification (preferably systematically) if there are changes. This information will be maintained and updated by the NM. 2.2.3 High level synchronisation and coordination (NM) The NM will carry out an initial analysis of the of all the known projects during the relevant time period, based on the high level information provided by the ANSP/s concerned. If this initial analysis indicates an unacceptably high negative on the network, the NM may propose changes to the transition plan. However, this can not be done without the full agreement of the stakeholders concerned. 01/10/2013 5
2.2.4 Provision of detailed capacity and performance data for each phase of the project (ANSP) The ANSP shall provide the following details to the NM, as applicable, for each phase of the project: Planned start and end date; Information on major milestones (e.g. System Acceptance Test (SAT), training, shadow mode of operations etc.); The that will be affected; Details of capacity reductions (dates and changes to default sector/ TV monitoring values); The configurations and opening schemes that will be available (max. peak/ off-peak periods); Details of any temporary changes to the airspace structure (route network and sectorisation); Proposed temporary measures to mitigate the of reduced capacity, e.g.: removal or reduction in RAD restrictions; changes to CDR status and/or availability; proposed rerouteing scenarios; increased capacity in adjacent. The information delivered to the NM will be stored and used only for analytical and operational purposes. 2.2.5 In-depth analysis of individual and combined projects (NM) The NM will make an assessment, through simulation, of the combined on the network of all relevant projects and identify potential operational bottlenecks. The analysis will be done from the following perspectives: capacity, flight efficiency (environment), route network, Airspace Management (ASM) and ATFCM. The analysis will cover adjacent areas affected by constraints in the transition area. The evolution of capacity must be clearly planned and documented by the ANSP concerned, with all affected parties being fully informed. The Network Manager will analyse the effect of temporary capacity reduction during the phases for training, preparation and cutover and the subsequent return to normal operations. The analysis will take into account simultaneous or overlapping projects, assessing the combined effect of all temporary capacity changes in the transition areas and in those adjacent. The NM will coordinate with the ANSPs directly or indirectly affected by a transition, aiming to jointly find mitigation solutions. To the maximum extent possible, a balanced approach between capacity and flight efficiency will be ensured. Nevertheless flight efficiency could be reduced as users avoid capacity bottlenecks either by flight planning alternative routeings, or accepting rerouteing proposals offered by the Network Manager. The performance analysis will be based on the use of the SAAM-NEVAC (NEST) and SIMEX tools. The NM will provide expert support to the ANSPs should they need to carry out their own detailed analysis. Potential risks associated with transition phase of a project will be evaluated with solutions to build the sustainable measures for minimising negative of a transition. 01/10/2013 6
2.2.6 Development and agreement on mitigation measures (NM, ANSP, Military) In coordination with the ANSP/s concerned, the NM will develop a number of proposals to identify how to manage the transition through local measures (changes to opening schemes, rostering etc.), to limit major network. If measures at local level are not sufficient, network measures will be developed. The NM will incorporate all known capacity and flight efficiency information (capacity reductions, where spare capacity can be made available, changes to route availability or sectorisation) and propose strategic rerouteing options to be taken into account when deciding on the appropriate ATFCM measures to be used. Airspace management processes will be used to the maximum extent possible, to ensure enhanced civil-military coordination for optimum airspace utilisation by all airspace users. Enhanced ATFCM measures will be developed as required. These could include: short notice scenarios, driving down delay, delay sharing, mandatory cherry picking, dynamic delay mitigation, Flight Level adherence. The result will be a toolbox of measures that should be prioritised in order of preference according to the requirements at network and local level. Toolbox of Mitigation Measures a. Proposals for alternative optimum sector configurations and opening schemes to manage unfamiliar traffic patterns; b. Rerouting proposals; c. RAD restriction reduction or removal; d. Temporary increase of adjacent sector/tv monitoring values; e. CDR category and availability modifications; f. Airspace structure adjustments; g. Proposal to reschedule military activity. h. Enhanced ATFCM measures; Additional support to airspace users a. Timely communication of restrictions and alternative routeings to the aircraft operators; b. Use of Route Availability Information Summary (RAIS) to increase awareness among the airspace users of expected airspace changes and their respective durations; c. Allow flexible, short notice flight plan amendments without penalty, to enable users to take into account short notice changes; d. Provision of alternative routeings in accordance with agreed measures, and when possible, offer a choice of rerouteing options to enable airspace users to utilise the available airspace according to their preferences for minimum delay, shortest routeing etc. The above list of measures is not exhaustive; the NM, together with the ANSP(s), may propose other solutions or even a package of composite measures. Depending on the type of measures agreed, verification may be necessary using simulation tools. 01/10/2013 7
2.2.7 Transition plan implementation (NM, ANSP, Airspace users) The Transition Plan will be developed and implemented using full cooperative decision making processes between the NM and all stakeholders, including the airspace users. The ANSP(s) shall ensure that all staff involved in the transition, controllers, supervisors and FMPs, are fully familiar with the adopted measures so that the capacity critical situations during transition process can be handled satisfactorily. Any deficiency during the implementation and execution of the transition plan must be immediately addressed through the implementation of additional measures. Potential risks associated with transition phase of a project will be evaluated and solutions developed for minimising negative side effects. 2.2.8 Post-ops analysis The purpose of this phase is to assess how the network performed during the relevant periods of the project, including the effectiveness of the implemented measures. Understanding the deficiencies encountered during the implementation phase, their causes, and the lessons learned, will ensure that best practice is carried through into the preparation of future projects. 01/10/2013 8
3. DOCUMENTATION TRANSITION PLAN FOR MAJOR PROJECTS IN EUROPE The NM will record all activities throughout the entire process from notification to the post implementation analysis, including: Data and information delivered by the ANSP(s) including date of delivery and the purpose for which they have been used; Analyses, initial and detailed, including the results and proposed actions; Measures proposed agreed and implemented; Register of all measures, changes, and their status throughout the transition project, providing for traceability of each measure proposed and agreed; Available ATFM reports (daily/weekly/monthly) during the implementation/transition phase; Yearly Network Operations Report. The documentation will be stored in NM OPL and will be made available to the entities which participated in the project. 01/10/2013 9

ANNEX A. LIST OF MAJOR TRANSITION PROJECTS The nine-month period, from the autumn 2013 until spring 2014 will be affected by high number of system modernisation projects across Europe. Some seven ACCs plan to migrate to a new ATM system or to upgrade the current. In addition, two major airspace reorganisation projects are planned to be implemented within the same period. Some of the ANSPs affected are likely to generate increased delay during the winter season, which may mean they cannot meet their annual delay breakdown values. This could in turn the overall Network capacity performance. The NM has a key role in the synchronisation, coordination and management of the Network to ensure that Network capacity remains in line with, or better than expected. Very careful planning and synchronisation between the ANSPs and the NM is required. Some projects, even though locally implemented, may involve other ANSPs in the transition planning and coordination. The table below shows all major capacity critical (potentially or expected), transition projects for the coming period. 2013 / 2014 Major Projects & Significant Events 2013 2014 07>09 10>12 01>03 04>06 Azerbaijan - Baku New ATM system (transition to) Croatia - Zagreb ATM system upgrade Czech Republic - Prague New sectorisation Germany - Langen Implementation of PSS system EBG02/08 Implementation of PSS system EBG03/04 Germany - Munich New sectorisation (south ) Italy - Brindisi West sector move to Rome Italy - Milano Resume MI upper from Roma Italy - Roma Portion of Brindisi airspace goes Roma and portion of Roma airspace goes to Milano Poland - Warsaw Transition to new ATM system and operations Spain - Sevilla ATM system SACTA CF2 Switzerland - Geneva & Zurich ATM system upgrade (step 2 - e-coordination) 27/11/2013 11
