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

The core of ATM transformation: towards 4D trajectory management

Cockpit contribution to operational benefits Communications

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.

Better flight efficiency: Flight profile and fuel burn optimization. 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.


Surface operations - Taxi Clearance

• 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

Taxi clearance can provide the following improvements:

Examples of Taxi clearances displayed on ND

Example of Textual Taxi clearance received from ATC Ground request menu


ATM benefits Reduced Runway occupation Time, this increasing runway throughput Earlier surface planning: taxi route, taxi time Turn around management: better adherence to schedules and better CDM Reduced noise and emissions

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

Benefits of surveillance enhancement through ADS-B


Step 1: ADS-B Out A/C information broadcasted for ground use only: better traffic surveillance at lower cost

ADS-B

Step 2: ATSAW Display of other ADS-B A/C info in the cockpit : better traffic situation awareness enhancing safety

Step 3: ASPA S&M A/C instructed to maintain spacing from a target aircraft : better traffic sequencing enhancing capacity.

Standard Longitudinal Separation 10min (80 NM)

ITP min separation 20 NM

CPDLC Clearance exchange

• Reduce holding patterns • Arrive on time • Increase safety

• Reduce Air/Ground voice exchanges • Improve awareness on board

• Increase capacity • Improve regularity and accuracy • Allow separation smaller than procedural

separation

• Reduce fuel consumption • Give more opportunity to fly at optimum level • Fly more optimal routes • Fly more optimal procedures (CDA…)

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
