Executive Summary

National ATM Context

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure is competent, among other activities prescribed in the Air Traffic Act, for the overall civil aviation policy of the Republic of Croatia, establishment of a national strategy on aviation development, ensuring the proper implementation of international aviation agreements concluded by the Republic of Croatia, adoption of secondary legislation as set out in this Act and the international agreements binding on the Republic of Croatia and preparation of draft proposals for laws in the field of civil aviation.

In international relations, organizational unit competent for civil aviation within the Ministry shall have, as "Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA)", the competences in civil aviation as delegated by the minister competent for civil aviation (hereinafter referred to as: the Minister); provided, however, that the Minister shall remain overall responsible for ensuring the lawful exercise of those competences. The internal organisation of the Ministry and hence the Directorate changed significantly in March 2012. The Directorate is now called the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services and keeps all the competences of the DGCA as provided in the Air Traffic Act. The new Directorate consists of two sectors, one of which is specifically in charge for civil aviation.

The Croatian Civil Aviation Agency has been established and works separately from the Ministry of Transport. The CCAA is a fully independent Body set up in June 2009 as prescribed in the Air Traffic Act which was published in the Official Gazette issue no. 69/09, 17 June 2009 (and recently amended, Official Gazette issue no. 84/11, 20 July 2011, and also OG 54/13 and 127/13). The Functions of National Supervisory Authority (NSA), in accordance with EU Reg. No. 549/2004 are performed by the CCAA. CCAA is responsible for oversight of ANSPs and drafting of regulations in ATM fields.

Military Aviation Authority of Croatia was established in 2007 to regulate Military Aviation (MIL OAT Rules, MIL Aircraft Certification, MIL Air crew and maintenance licensing and MIL Aerodromes – Helipads certification. In Croatia, the military aviation is located on combined – civil/military airports (Zagreb, Pula, Zadar).

The Air, Maritime and Railway Traffic Accident Investigation Agency is functionally and organizationally independent from all other Croatian aviation entities and from all natural and legal persons possibly having a conflict of interests. The Agency has been established by the Law on the establishment of the Air, Maritime and Railway Traffic Accident Investigation Agency (Official Gazette, No. 54/13) and has been registered as a legal person into the court register.

Croatia Control Ltd, is an independent business entity established by the Republic of Croatia. The Republic of Croatia is also the sole owner of the company. The primary mission of Croatia Control Ltd. is provision of air navigation services, pursuing the basic principle of a high level of air traffic safety. Croatia Control Ltd. has been certified as an air navigation services provider which complies with the Common Requirements for the following services: ATS, CNS, AIS, and MET. Pursuant to the certification process performed by the DGCA a certificate has been issued to Croatia Control Ltd. on 31 March 2009 by the DGCA. Croatia Control Ltd. is the designated provider of ATS and MET services in FIR Zagreb.

Airport authorities are functionally and organizationally independent from civil aviation authorities. There is no centralised management on all airports in Croatia. Major airports are owned by the Republic of Croatia (majority owner, 55% stake) and municipal authorities (counties and cities). Zagreb Airport is main national airport. It is the biggest and main international airport in the country whose traffic activity is based on regular scheduled traffic (apart from coastal airports whose main activities are based on seasonal summer charter traffic). Other international airports in Croatia are Split, Dubrovnik, Pula, Rijeka, Zadar, Osijek, Brač and Mali Lošinj. At these Airports, ATC service provision (TWR and APP) is provided by CCL.


Traffic and Capacity

In the past decade, Croatia has endured one of the highest traffic growths in ECAC area. Rapid evolution from 177.000 IFR GAT operations in 2000, to almost 500.000 IFR GAT operations in 2011 proved challenging but achievable. This trend has peaked and stabilised at the turn of the decade, and with the widening global economic downturn, the traffic trends in Croatia remained stagnant close to half-million operations per year. Croatia lies on the South-East Axis flow, which is the major traffic flow still adding flights in the ECAC region, proven during 2011-12-13 when unlike most ANSP’s in Europe, CCL recorded slight oscillations around a positive zero growth.

Further growth is expected to be gradual within the current operating limitations, while it is still projected, from a multitude of factors, ranging from migration of traffic flows due overflights costs, political reasons and conflicts around the ECAC region, to fast-development of Turkish economy, and a regeneration of Egypt and Greek tourist destinations.

Zagreb International Airport - In terms of ATFCM delays Zagreb is not identified as having an effect upon the network. The construction of new passenger building is under way. When completed it will provide capacity for 3 million passengers.

ESSIP Objective Implementation

In the period 2012-2014 we finished following objectives:

ITY-FMTP - CCAA has received DoV/TF for system which implements FMTP. Verification by CCAA has been performed as a part of CroATMS change monitoring and acceptance process.

ATC02.2 - The new ATM system (CroATMS) that serves for ATS provision to Zabreb CC/APP/TWR includes the STCA capabilities. Concerning the STCA implementation other TMA Units (LDSP, LDDU, LDZD, LDPL), was planned for April 2011, and finally completed in December 2011;

ATC02.5 - APW available in the system. APW available in the system for Zagreb ACC and TMA. Waiting AGY deliverable for compliance. Implemented in other TMA's with the extension of CROATMs in December 2011;

ATC12 - Completed for ATCC/TMA Zagreb. Completed for other TMA Units (LDSP, LDDU, LDZD, LDPL). The REG acceptance done in December 2012;

COM09 - Reporting requirement completed through this LSSIP. Commission Regulation (EC) No 633/2007 has been transposed in national legislation. Notification from CCAA to CCL during 2010. The migration was implemented during the CroATMMP. PENS services have migrated in 2011. Acceptance and validation with test applications - completed.

The problems that we had in completing objectives for 2012-2014 were following:

AOP03 - The application of runway incursion prevention procedures are completed at Zagreb airport. This measures and appropriate Air Safety Information Letter-ASIL, have been published in Croatian State Safety Program, and CCAA web. Implementation is in progress, by all relevant stakeholders.

ATC02.6 - Function available in the system, implementation to TMA's completed with the extension of the new ATM system (COOPANS). Operational implementation has been delayed due to false and nuisance alerts which have a safety impact. Waiting AGY deliverable for compliance. Training for the operational use will be performed before implementation.

FCM05 - CCAA has in place procedure of Change management oversight. Review, as appropriate, the safety argument of the changes to the ASM system, supporting the implementation of interactive Rolling NOP by the NM will be performed accordingly;

SAF11 - This measures and appropriate Air Safety Information Letter-ASIL, have been published in Croatian State Safety Program /Official Gazette" 68/14/, and CCAA web. Implementation is in progress, by all relevant stakeholders.

Here are also plans for completing objectives due for 2015-2016:

AOM13.1 - Tentative plan exists. Specifications for harmonised Rules for Operational Air Traffic under Instrument Flight Rule was promulgated. CCL will Harmonize Operational Air Traffic (OAT) and General Air Traffic (GAT) handling;


AOM19 - National High-Level Airspace Policy Body (NPUZP) formed by representatives from all stakeholders has drafted a plan during 2014., expected for approval early in 2015. Implementation plan for AMC (procedures, trainning, system support) is ongoing, and is aligned with the planed timeline. Full completion of requirements for operation was implemented on 03.04.2014.

ATC02.7 - CCL will implement the objective with the new ATM system for ACC. This function is available in the new ATM system as of 2014, and will ready for operational use during 2017.

ATC16 - EU regulation 1332/2011 is implemented in Croatia. Operators are advised on requirements. Table of the-current status of compliance with ACAS II (logic 7.1.) on Croatian registered fleet .- has been established;

COM10 - procurement of a new AMHS in 2012, implementation in 2014.The extended ATMHS services (ASP03) will be supported as soon as specification will be in place.

FCM03 - All but one SLoA have been completed with implementation of the new ATM system in 02/2014. ASP14 is a function of the new system, but is still not in operational use, due COOPANS wide system error.

ITY-COTR - CCAA/NSA will conduct oversight of changes of systems according to transposed Commission Regulation (EU) No 1034/2011 and with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) 1032/2006 upon ANSP notification of implementation;

Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2014 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2014.

The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organizations, the organizational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organization and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided in this chapter.

Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;

Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the ESSIP Report which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The state reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations;

Chapter 4 provides a set of the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the ATM MP OIs and/or Enablers and ESSIP related Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the states per each project included in this chapter;

Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the states concerned;

Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.

Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.

Note: The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

The NSA is an entity within the CCAA. The CCAA covers more ground as it deals also with Airport Oversight, Users Oversight and all internal duties of an administration (budget, resources management, organisation maintenance etc…)

The remit of the NSA is in line with applicable provisions of EU acquis..

An Agency Board is the high-level governing Body of the CCAA. It consists of 5 independent and recognised, competent officials with various backgrounds,

The CCAA reports directly to the government of Croatia. It has the duty to provide an Annual Report to the Government.

Within the scope of its activities the Agency, in close cooperation with the Ministry, CCAA participates in international activities, including the negotiation processes leading to the conclusion of international agreements, meetings in International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and other international organisations and institutions in civil aviation, and participates in the working of their professional bodies and working groups, and co-operates with international bodies responsible for air traffic. The CCAA Statute regulates: the CCAA's internal organisation, representation, budgeting, business planning and annual report, its work and conduct of business, its authority and decision-taking modalities, its general acts, data confidentiality, accessibility to public scrutiny and other matters important for the working of the CCAA. The CCAA Board, with prior approval by the Government, issues the CCAA Statute. The CCAA bodies are the Agency Board and the Director. CCAA Board is composed of five members. The Board members are proposed by the Minister and appointed by the Government for a period of four years with the possibility of being reappointed.

The set-up of the CCAA was done in a seamless transition with very limited impact on the DGCA/NSA business.

The Agency is a legal entity with public authority having its headquarters in Zagreb. The Republic of Croatia is the founder of the Agency. By public authority, the Agency carries out the activities laid down in the Air Traffic Act as activities in the interest of the Republic of Croatia.

The Agency is autonomous in the performance of activities within its competence and is responsible to the Government.

The CCAA is in particular responsible for:

- preparation of draft proposals for secondary legislation relating to the Agency's activities, adopted by the Minister on the basis of this Act;

- Monitoring of implementation of State Aviation Safety Programme

- certification and issuing licences to air carriers;

- certification of aircraft including the necessary inspections of technical and operational conditions of the aircraft;

- the civil aircraft registry of the Republic of Croatia and any other civil aviation registry;

- licensing and rating of civil aeronautical personnel;

- certification of civil aerodromes;

- collection of data on civil aeronautical personnel and aircraft and its distribution;

- collection, analysis and dissemination of statistics, reports, documents and other data on aviation technology, operation of aircraft, aerodromes and aeronautical personnel to the extent that this is of relevance for performing the functions under this Act;

- oversight of the technical and operational conditions and economic fitness of aviation undertakings of the Republic of Croatia and aviation training facilities;


- oversight of security in civil aviation;

- matters relating to environment protection concerning air traffic;

- oversight and inspection of the air traffic safety as provided for in this Act;

- other functions as stipulated in this Act and regulations adopted on the basis of this Act.;

Tolerable Safety Levels have not been established in Croatia yet, because the Croatian State Safety Programme (SSP) has not been finalised yet (It is in draft status). On the proposal of Aviation Safety Management Board, SSP will be approved by Government of Croatia.

The CCAA, as the National ATM Safety focal point, has drafted SSP and SSP implementation plan

Remarks on Safety Oversight - The Air Traffic Law (OG 69/09,84/11, 54/13, 127/13) in the Articles 5 - Competences of Civil Aviation Agency reads:

“The CCAA is acting as the National Supervisory Authority (NSA), and performs tasks assigned under the relevant EU acquis. These tasks include establishment and oversight of Performance plan in accordance with Single European Sky regulations, the certification of air navigation service providers, the continuing oversight of the provision of air navigation services with the purpose of ensuring continuing compliance with the common requirements, as well as for other matters in accordance with the regulations adopted on the basis of this Act and relevant EU acquis. “The Republic of Croatia shall notify the European Commission the name and address of the NSA, as well as changes thereto, and of the measures taken to ensure compliance with paragraph 9 of this Article”.

Article 96. of the Air Traffic Act

(1) “Air navigation services shall be provided within flight information region of the Republic of Croatia in accordance with the provisions of this Act, regulations adopted on the basis on this Act and in accordance with relevant EU acquis subject to the conditions and modalities set out in the international agreements binding on the Republic of Croatia.”

(5) To a legal person submitting evidence of compliance with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article the Agency shall issue an Air Navigation Service Provider Certificate.

(10) A statutory fee shall be paid for the auditing process to confirm compliance with the requirements for the issuing of an Air Navigation Service Provider Certificate and for the continuing oversight over the service provider concerned to ensure continuous compliance with these requirements.

According with the Letter ref 303-03/08-01/484 and 530-09/08-01 dated 17.11.2008, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Infrastructure was nominated as the Croatian NSA (i.e. Civil Aviation Authority and Civil Aviation Inspection Department).

According to Article 5 of Air Traffic Act (OG 69/09, 84/11, 54/13, 127/13), on 10th April 2009.with Letter 303-03/08-01/484 and 530-09/09-04, the Republic of Croatia has notified the European Commission the name and address of the NSA. Croatian NSA is Croatian Civil Aviation Agency (CCAA).

According the Article 96(6), Ordinance on the conditions and means of providing air navigation services (OG 81/08 and OG 115/09-2, now OG 49/13) was issued. Based on this Ordinance, the NSA issued a certificate to Croatia Control Ltd. on 31st March 2009 for ATS, CNS, MET and AIS services.


The requirements of ESARR 1 and EC Regulation 1034/2011 on the subject of Safety Directives have been transposed through Ordinance on the conditions and means of providing air navigation services (OG 81/08 and OG 138/2009, now OG 49/13).

NSA (CCAA) is continuously making oversight of certified service provider according to ANS Oversight Programme.

Annual Report published: Y http://www.crocontrol.hr/PublicRelations This is the annual report covering yearly activities of the ANSP.

CCL organisational chart is given in Annex B.

1.2.2.1 ATC system in use

Specify the manufacturer of the ATC system currently in use: Thales ATM

Major upgrade1 of the ATC system is performed or planned? A major upgrade of the new ATMS system CroATMS-C (COOPANS) is planned for 2018, with the introduction of Java HMI.

Replacement of the ATC system by the new one is planned? In 2018

The main ATM system is being developed through COOPANS (COOPeration between ANS providers) partnership together with Austrocontrol, IAA, LFV and Naviair. With unified ATM system in 5 ANSPs, COOPANS members are significantly optimizing life cycle cost through harmonization of functions and procedures and with a joint investment. Apart from the main ATM system the new system includes also a new and completely independent emergency ATM system, ARES.

Continuous development and upgrade of main ATM system will cover software functionality and hardware enhancements all that might be required by the regulators and operational requirements to achieve the SES goals, and to further increase safety and capacity.

The new VCCS provides CCL with the ability to control and manage all voice communications at the ACC and the airport sites as well as managing the radio equipment offsite. It includes also an emergency/backup solution for the ACC and regional airports (Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik and Pula).

To improve coverage area and increase capacity (number of frequencies) introduction of new radio sites is constantly planned. The upgrade of existing VHF and UHF radio network will be compliant with the Regulation (EU) 1079/2012, and will also enable future seamless migration to VoIP technology. CCL is connected to PENS and X-bone (FAB CE regional IP network) G-G networks. Some modernization will be needed to support Air/Ground Data-Link Service as a means to comply with the Regulation (EC) 29/2009.

1 Upgrade is defined as any modification that changes the operational characteristics of the system (SES Framework Regulation 549/2004, Article 2 (40))


Existing ground-based surveillance data system consists of data from one own combined PSR+MSSR Mode-S radar (near Zagreb airport), two own secondary Mode-S radars and three secondary Mode-S radars from Croatian military surveillance system.

Because own infrastructure does not ensure the sufficient level of radar coverage in some volumes some new systems deployment (the new MSSR Mode-S station and TMA ADS-B system) is planned to fully enable at least dual coverage throughout the FIR airspace and better data resolution, enhancing both performance and safety markers. This is compliant with Regulation (EU) 1207/2011.

AMC Zagreb became fully operational in April 2014. Tools that are available are Lara and CHMI, with Prismil planned for implementation in due time,

ATFCM is handled by Zagreb FMP, equipped to the same common ECAC standards (CHMI and other NM applications). Dynamic Demand-Capacity Balancing tools are being developed at FAB CE level, with a STAM Live Operational Trial planned at FAB CE level in September 2015.

AIS uses an EAD system which is aligned with EU regulatory requirements on a regular basis, through a controlled “release” once every year. A local database, which will serve as a connector between the data originators and AIS, is under development and currently documentation is being prepared for the tender.

A state PBN implementation plan is being developed by a group represented by each stakeholder. PRNAV and RNAV-GNSS procedures are completed for the main airport in Croatia (LDZA), and the others are in the process. All procedures are validated first on the ground, and later through a dedicated flight check. Safety assessments are done for each implementation, and are delivered to the NSA for approval.

1.2.2.2 ATC units

The ATC units in the Croatian airspace, which are of concern to this LSSIP are the following:

ATC Unit Number of sectors Associated FIR(s) Remarks

Chapter 5 - Regional Co-ordination

5.1 FAB Co-ordination

Having signed and ratified the Agreement on the Establishment of Functional Airspace Block Central Europe, Croatia is part of the FAB CE project together with Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The FAB CE States agreed on establishment of the following permanent bodies - the FAB CE Council, NSA Coordination Committee and Joint Civil-Military Airspace Coordination Committee. The FAB CE Council can also establish other bodies necessary for the implementation, operation and further development of the FAB CE Project. For this reason the FAB CE Legal Committee and the FAB CE Performance Body (responsible for preparation of FAB CE Performance Plan for RP2) are established.

Air navigation service providers of FAB CE countries established and signed the foundation deed of a joint venture on 17 October 2014, at Brnik, Slovenia - FABCE Aviation Services, Ltd. The company will be responsible for the professional management of various regional air navigation projects. The establishment of this joint venture is not only effectively aiming at the progress of FAB CE programme, but at the same time the Single European Sky programme of the European Union.

The FAB CE Strategy was finalized and approved in June 2014, driven by a need to move towards seamless operations in a way that ensures safe and efficient operations. The document describes environment in which the FAB CE is being developed and defines strategic objectives and targets in order to meet the SES performance requirements. The four priority areas are: Performance, Safety, Free Route Airspace and EU targets.

A FAB CE Performance Plan (for AT, CZ, HR, HU, SI and SK) was presented on 29 April 2014 at stakeholders’ consultation meeting between the representatives of FAB CE (states, national supervisory bodies, service providers) and airspace users (airlines) in Prague. FAB CE Performance Plan in its version 1 was sent to European Commission in June 2014.

A Letter on inter-FAB cooperation was signed on 8 September 2014 by the State level bodies of FAB Central Europe and the BLUEMED FAB, in the interest of improved co-ordination on the policies adopted for improving ANS/ATM in Europe. The respective ANSP cooperation agreement was signed on 27 August 2014.

Two Social Dialogue forums were held in April and November 2014 with wide variety of participants – ANSP CEOs, FAB CE project management, social partners, trade unions and also the EC representative.
