Approved Work Program/Terms of Reference Publication of Operational Performance Metrics Manual Engagement with Environment & Global Benchmarking Workgroups Data collection and analysis 1 st Operational Performance Report integrated into the ANS Performance Report
CANSO Report on Operational Performance 21 defined Operational Indicators spanning all phases of flight 2 indicators recommended as priority measures (Capacity, Efficiency) Recommend process to identify if delay/inefficiency is ANSP-Attributable
Performance Indicators Addressed Recommended Core ANSP Measures Capacity Utilisation Flight Efficiency Actual Trajectory vs. Target Trajectory Where target is.. Great Circle, Flight Plan Best Achieved, Most Achieved ATM Attributable Delay Surface Delay Measures Punctuality/Predictability Operational Availability Current Focus for PBN
ANSP Performance and Inter-Dependencies ANSP Investment Traffic Management Initiatives Airspace design ATC/ATM performance Capacity & Airport Infrastructure Airport Maintenance Airport Expansion Flight Efficiency & Delay Operator Schedules & Flight Preferences Weather Schedule peaks Crew Scheduling, Equip problems etc. Low visibility High wind Convective weather
Key Factors in Recommendations Does the KPI have demonstrated use? Legislation, Service Charter, Pay Incentive Cost Benefit work Scope of ANSP Control Control all phase of flight vs. specific phase Role of Network Manager Effect of Fleet Mix (Heavy) on KPIs
Capacity KPI Declared rate for a facility Maximum throughput 140 120 100 80 60 40 European airports 61 44 Peak Arrival Throughput (95th percentile) Peak Arrival Capacity (declared EUR) Average Peak Arrival Capacity 39 29 20 0 AMS CDG FRA FCO ARN ZRH MUC CPH BRU HEL MAD VIE LHR CGN MXP BCN ORY DUS MAN PMI OSL TXL NCE HAM ATH LYS STN PRG STR LGW DUB LIS GVA LIN Average 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 EU Airports by Number of Active Runways
Flight Efficiency KPI Actual Trajectory compared to Ideal Flight Plan Compared to Ideal Actual Compared to best achieved
Capacity/Flight Efficiency Trade-offs High Capacity Utilization Low Excess Minutes Capacity Unitilisation Low/High Criteria High Capacity Utilization High Excess Minutes ATFM is over-delivering flights Airborne Excess Minutes Low Capacity Utilization Low Excess Minutes ATFM is under-delivering flights Low Capacity Utilization High Excess Minutes
Capacity/Flight Efficiency Examples Actual Arrivals: 30 Arrival Demand: 30 Arrival Capacity: 64 Capacity Utilisation: 100 Flight Efficiency: 0.2 min 15th Percentile Hour Actual Arrivals: 34 Arrival Demand: 43 Arrival Capacity: 48 Capacity Utilisation: 79.07 Flight Efficiency: 4.7 min 80th Percentile Hour
ATM Delay KPIs Delay imposed by ANSP Causal Reasons Identified Constraining Facility, Weather, Staffing, Equipment, Traffic Volume 2013 ATM En Route Charged Delay by Causal Factor 0.1% 5.7% 13.3% 0.1% 30.1% 42.6% 7.3% 19.9% Europe 0.1% 80.8% US Volume Runway/Taxi Weather Equipment Other
Data Automation Required Capability for Establishing Capacity Values Ability to calculate the demand placed on a facility Ability to process trajectory data Ability to attribute delay or inefficiency to a cause code.
Future Work Considerations Should CANSO promote more specific implementation guidance? Response to specific ANSP request Should CANSO Promote Industry Performance Tools? Establishing Capacity, Processing Trajectory Data, recording ANSP Attributable delay Should CANSO promote global data collection for benchmarking? This would take significant commitment
Next Steps for CANSO Implementing KPIs Develop Instructional Package for CANSO workshops CANSO Asia Pacific Conference May 6-8, 2015 Demonstrated use of capacity/trajectory indicators for PBN Guidance for obtaining a declared capacity Large number of publically available publications Demonstrated use not as obvious Partner with industry on automation of measures
