� EC nominated Eurocontrol as Network Manager for ATM network functions

� DNM exercises NM Functions inside the Agency (DG decision)

� EU Implementing rule: Functions of the NM � Route Design� Coordination of scarce resources (frequency and codes)� ATFM

� Preparing NSP (including NM PP) and NOP

� Specific Governance: NMB with SSC opinions� Adoption of Route design plan; ATFCM procedures; actions on scarce resources� Adoption of NSP ( including NM PP) and NOP� Adoption of NM Budget ( 85 to 90 % of DNM budget)

The NSP defines the guiding principles for the network operationand its long term perspective

8

� 2014: Cooperative Decision-Making process, able to amend the plans as required by the performance needs.

� 2013: All functions (ATFM, Scarce resources, RND, Crisis Mgt) and operational tasks (FPL, ASM, EAD) are covered by a Network Handbook

� 2013: Monitoring and reporting available at NMB and NDOP levels.

9

� 2014: Network Information flows available to support Operations Planning and Operations (SO4 and SO5)

� 2014: Full deployment of IP network for ATM applications (FMTP/OLDI), VoIP, SUR data etc) and messaging directory services.

� 2015: VDL Mode 2 infrastructure deployed in support of CPDLC Datalink (EU IR)� 2014: Comply with the existing interoperability rules and to ensure a common

understanding of the new rules and standards being elaborated.� 2014: Improve interoperability by enabling use of services; providing evidence of service

performance.� 2014: Consolidate the use of EAD as a central reference for AIM data

10

� 2014: NM to comply with the targets defined in the NMPP

11

� 2014: Achieve the target for En-route Capacity

� 2014: Achieve the flight efficiency target for route design and for flight planning

� 2014: ATM local enablers implemented to achieve the performance objectives where required

� 2015: Data-Link available in all ATC Centres above FL 285 (EU IR)

12

� 2014: Achieve the network capacity and flight efficiency targets

� 2014: Standard procedures available demonstrating benefits on ATM performance (network delay attribution)

� 2014: Short-Term ATFM Measures (STAMs) used for critical capacity areas.� 2104: Flight efficiency KPI (FPL) achieved

� 2014: Shared airspace situation available at network and FAB level

13

� 2014: Reduce arrival delays to 0.5 minutes

� 2014: Agreed procedure between NM, ANSP and fully coordinated airports covering airport slots, analysis of turn-around related delays and their impact, operational relationship and KPIs

� 2014: 25% of traffic subject to DPI. � 2014: Airport CDM implemented on 20 of the top 40 traffic airports

� 2014: Agreed procedure for monitoring ASMA KPI

14

� 2014: Deploy Risk Analysis Tool in all main ANSPs (to be used for assessing Separation Minima Infringements, Runway Incursions and ATM Specific Occurrences.)

� 2014: 3 million visitors of SKYbrary from 1 million visitors in 2011.� 2014: Establishment of a network Top 5 Operational safety risks and work on ATM

contributing factors to reduce the operational safety risks.� 2014: Define “level 3” ground-based safety nets by end of 2013� 2016: Implementation of effective "level 2" ground-based safety nets in all EUROCONTROL

member States.� 2014: All ANSPs and FABs Safety Management/Standard of Excellence Level 3. Support,

Management of ATM changes:

� A plan for implementation addressing RP2 performance Objectives;

� A concept for technology implementation at network level

Technology changes required to achieve 2019 network performance:

� ATC tools in support of Free Routeing;

� Initial Business Trajectory and support communication tools (initial SWIM) to improve Tactical Flow and Capacity Management;

� Network Operations Portal, Airport Operations Plan, structured aeronautical information and initial SWIM in support of the Network operations Planning;

�Data Link in support of Controller workload;

�Airport tools to optimise existing airport infrastructure;

�Improvement of Safety tools.

NSP Version 2

� The NSP will be updated to take account of technological, institutional and economic developments and the performance objectives of the second reference period.

� This will be achieved by December 2013.
