How to link the FABs and SESAR? Maurice Georges, Director, DSNA ATC Global Amsterdam, March 8th, 2011 EUROPEAN COMMISSION How to link FABs and SESAR ? Maurice Georges, CEO DSNA 8 March 2011 Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr Ministère de l'Écologie, du Développement durable, des Transports et du Logement DSNA – the French ANS provider 2,700,000 IFR Flights controlled 500,000 movements in Paris-CDG 10,000 IFR Flights on peak day 5 ACCs and 81 Control Towers 8000 staff, including 4,500 ATCOs M€ 1500 total costs € 67 : En-route Unit Rate Member of SESAR and FABEC Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 3 How to link FABs and SESAR ?  Operations and Performance  Technical Roadmaps  Financing and Governance Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 4 Introduction  SESAR and FABs : two mechanisms established in the SES framework :  SESAR : to develop the new generation European air traffic management systems  FABs : to optimize the provision of air navigation services, in a performancedriven context and to stimulate cooperation between ANSPs  Major European ANSPs like DSNA are involved both in SESAR and FABs  The question arises “How to create/reinforce the synergy between SESAR and FABs”  Presentation will focus on three aspects :  Operations and performance  Technical roadmaps  Financing and governance Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 5 Operations and performance  SESAR operational concept has built on FABs from day one -> SES II will be organised on 3 levels : local / FABs / network  FABs shall support Enhanced Network Operations  Traffic flow and queue management : extended AMAN and synchronization (e. g. Frankfort/Paris/London vs. MAASTRICHT), AMAN-DMAN integration,  Improved ATFCM flexibility and advanced FUA,  Advance operability between systems  SESAR operational outputs require full ATCOs and ATSEPs involvement  -> FABs shall be the next generation level for enhanced HR management & negociation Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 6 Technical roadmaps  DSNA (and other major ANSPs) need 5 to 10 years to converge to IP1 and IP2  SESAR is consistent with FABs timeframe  Implementation of systems must contribute to reach performance targets at FAB level :  One FAB model does not fit all : FAB brings the “european diversity” into SESAR, while maintaining minimum homogeneïty Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 7 Financing and Governance  SESAR deployment scheme currently under discussion -> major issues at stake regarding finance and governance  FABs shall create financing solidarity between big and small ANSPs  Each ANSP member of SESAR shall consider itself as responsible of SESAR implementation in its FAB  -> FABs are a prerequisite for ensuring a seamless and continuous deployment of SESAR Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 8 Conclusion  SESAR and FABs shall both contribute to SES objectives :  SESAR, through developing and validating common practices, operational concepts, architecture, roadmaps…  FABs, through implementing new concepts and systems resulting from SESAR activities  SESAR Master Plan updates have to reflect the ability of FABs to harmonize and deploy new system  Role of FABs in the financing and governance of SESAR deployment : an essential contributor to deliver the expected improvement in performance Direction générale de l’Aviation civile Direction des services de la Navigation aérienne 9
