1. French ANSP

5 ACCs, 81 TWR



6

1. French ANSP

Human Resources

Total Staff in 2012 : 7,757



7

1. French ANSP

260 M€ per year for investments and systems in operations(over the period 2015-2019)



8

1. French ANSP

Modernization of air navigation to support optimized operationalprocedures

2. Airport CDM

Early 2000, Eurocontrol launches Airport CDM program to address airport delay

Objectives:

• Improve collaboration of all airport actors

• Reinforce decision making by sharing relevant, up to date and synchronized information

• Enhance performance of each actor

Application in France: CDG in 2010, ORY and LYS (2015).

2. Airport CDM

First roadmap for CDM@CDG project

4 activities developed in common by project partners

1. Information sharing

2. Degraded situations (snow, low visibility, storm)

3. Capacity optimization on approach

4. Tools (departure)



11

2. Airport CDMExamples

• information sharing

– CDM website with indicators (punctuality, taxi time, stand occupation, departure sequence)

– Weather website

– Daily confcalls

• Crisis ops room



12

2. Airport CDM

Examples

• Tools– Pre departure sequence calculation with constraints and real-time update

– Goal is start-up = off block and optimized taxiing and takeoff



13

2. Airport CDM

Some measured benefits:

• Runway waiting time -17%

• Taxi time -8%

• Departure punctuality +9%

• Fuel saving 4000 t / year (= 40 Paris-NY flights)

• Improved take of time predictability +23% (30 min before)– Less regulation



14

2. Airport CDM

New roadmap CDM@CDG 2014-2020+



15

3. EGNOS

EGNOS

pan-European satellite navigation system (SBAS)

It complements GPS:

• more precise positioning

• information on reliability



16

3. EGNOS



17

3. EGNOS

Published PBN procedures

(status Jan 2015):

141 RWY withRNAV APCH : • 139 LNAV

• 34 LNAV/VNAV

• 87 LPV EGNOS

Target 200 by2016



18

3. EGNOS

Benefits of PBN for Approach:

• improve safety(vertical guidance) where no ILS

• performant ILS backup

• reduce ANSP’s costs(ILS Cat I) bytransitioning to PBN

• Improve airportaccessbility (more direct, greener paths)



19

3. EGNOS

ILS CAT I rationalisation

plan

• Blue: Airports where

existing ILS Cat I to be

replaced by a PBN

RNP APCH with

EGNOS

• Red: 2016 ILS reduced

network

This plan will allow DSNA to

save 5 M€ of infrastructure

expenditures per year



20

3. EGNOSPRECISION APPROACHES

• DSNA preferred solution for CAT I is EGNOS (PBN)– EGNOS is free (public funding), GBAS incurs infrastructure costs

• DSNA supports R&D for CAT II/III GBAS

– SESAR station deployed at Toulouse Blagnac

– ICAO SARPs planned by this year

• But still many issues to solve to achieve CAT II/III

– Ionospheric monitoring

– Vulnerability to Interferences

– Field Strength Runway Coverage

– Serious operational concerns (how to practically increase airport capability in Low Visibility Procedures conditions?)



21

4. 4-Flight

• Objectives

– Replace the current ATM system by probably the most modern one in Europe

– Stripless environment with very advanced HMI

– 4D trajectory management

– Sesar compliant and upgradable

• First release currently being deployed in Aix and Reims ACCs for operational validation

• Entry into service from 2018



22

4. 4-Flight

• Designed to ease controller’s cognitive process

(using quick loop iterative design processes with end

users)

– Stripless concept, direct graphical interaction

• Flight position states

• Dynamic labels

– Integration of Mode S downlinked flight information and datalink



23

4. 4-Flight

• New controller tools (ex.)– Conflict detection support

• Tactical Controller Tool (TCT), CFL conflict

– Contextual view

– Extrapolation

– Monitoring aids



24

4. 4-Flight

• New controller tools (ex.)– Cooperation tools for

planning and executive controllers

• Markers

• Agenda and datablocks

– Negotiation support



25

4. 4-Flight

• A Gate to Gate 4D Trajectory Prediction:– Computed all over

known ATSUs

– Managing constraints

– Applying aircraft performances and Meteo

– Expanding procedures in TMA

– Identifying intersections with airspace volumes



26

4. 4-Flight

• What if

• Implementation of Flight Object Interoperability

(Inter-ATSUs)

• Complex routes and sectors

Controlling ATSU

Validating ATSU

Nominal flight path

Alternative flight path

Position of aircraft at decision time

Proposing ATSU

Ready for Business Trajectory (key Sesar concept)

Support to free-route and dynamic airspace management

More capacity and safety



27

4. 4-Flight

• Capability for both Civil Air Traffic Control AND Military Air Traffic Control missions

• Fault tolerant design

• Modular integration of functions and components– Trackers

– Conformance monitoring

– Tactical warnings

– Safety nets

– Datalink

– Arrival manager

– etc…



28

5. Sysat and Seaflight

• Sysat– New ATC system for Approach and Tower

– Needs for small TWR, and TWR with APP

– Operational demonstrations run in 2014 with 4 suppliers

– Tender about to be launched

– First delivery expected in 2017



29

5. Sysat and Seaflight

• Seaflight– New ATC system for overseas territories: Cayenne, Antilles

(Martinique et Guadeloupe), Nouvelle-Calédonie, Réunion

– Tahiti was updated recently

– Framework contract signed end 2014 with 3 differentpotential suppliers

– Separate decision for each site (choice among those 3, after competition)



30

Conclusion

Technology alone is not sufficient => operational aspects represent 35% of the investment into a new system:• Project management, regulation, operational concept definition, deployment, training and

documentation.

Technology is used to improve performances with safety first:• ex. remote Apron trial in CDG to add augmented vision (thermal and night vision, blind

corners, auto-tracking)



31

ConclusionINTEGRATION: Future ATM is developed in common with other countries, in close loop with the industry and end users.

INTEROPERABILITY: Standardization of components and communication protocols improves scalability, use of remote services, thus optimizing investment cost.

COLLABORATION: The Single European Sky (SES) program promotes European ANSP collaboration and public-private partnership by requiring performance objectives (safety, capacity, environment) at “block” level, and economic efficiency.
