19-21 April 2004 ASAS TN – 3rd workshop

AIRLINES/IATA OVERVIEWNeeds and Considerations

Anthony van der Veldt/IATA Assistant Director Safety Operations & Infrastructure, Europe

Airborne Separation Assistance System (ASAS)

Thematic Network – 3rd workshop Toulouse, 19-21 April 2004

Fragmented airspace (political & organisation) Potential Data link widely unused No common use of data sources (air & ground) Lack of automation support No co-operative system approach No challenge for cost effectiveness through competition Today’s ATC OPS infra is still based on radar tracking, voice

com and ground radio beacons

Actual Problems and Bottlenecks

Airlines NeedsSafe and efficient services from gate to gate

Contract a 4D trajectory for this services with the responsible ATM unit

C-ATM

Air Traffic Management with growth capability

Co-operative Air/Ground System

Air and ground based surveillance

Oriented on best capabilities – distributed ATM system

Enhanced Safety horizon (ASAS)

Data infrastructure (voice for abnormal only)Flow oriented functional blocks of airspace

ASAS Benefits (1)

Enhanced safety Common situational awareness in air & on ground

Distributed surveillance system caters for more effectiveness & capacity

Distributed responsibility will reduce controller workload

Avoids double work

Participants to focus efficiently on their assigned task

Reduction of workload in the overall process

ASAS Benefits (2)

Use of data rather than voice will allow automation support to be available not only for pilots but also controllers

“Congestion resistant” due to its distributed natureAllows larger sectors, with ground controller workload

focused on strategic flow managementAvailability independent of ground infrastructure – world-

wideUse of global ADS-B infrastructure standards will support

use of common data

Simple, functional and providing benefits Basic cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI)

enabling reception (from other a/c) and transmission of ADS-B data

CDTI integrated into the existing Flight Deck Display systems (with ACAS)

Pilots must have the CDTI in his direct field of view

Avionics considerations supporting ADS-B functions
