Title: CANCELLED 6/20
Back to normal ATC capacity after two years of crisis
Speaker(s):
Christine Schierhorn, DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH.
|
Abstract: After two years of crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traffic numbers have recently picked up again. Air traffic controllers are dealing again with higher workloads after a long period of low traffic. In German airspace, additional challenges have come up, such as military movements due to the war in Ukraine and further air traffic movements due to temporary reduced capacity in France and Poland. How do we ensure safe and sufficient control and capacity while at the same time advancing our environmental focus as well as digitalization in ATC? And how can we further improve our service quality?

Title: Ensuring business continuity in airspace management – multi-use approach strategies for contingency in ATM automation.
Speaker(s):
Daniel Cobos-Meza, Frequentis
Kare Ingebrigtsen, Frequentis
Naviair TBD
|
Abstract: ANSPs are accountable in the event of failure and/or disruption of Air Navigation Services (ANS). Failure to properly plan and execute a contingency plan may result in catastrophic repercussions for the economy of a state not to mention the safety risks to which airspace users can get exposed. ANS Contingency Planning is set and promoted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), international organizations such as Eurocontrol and multiple national ANS regulators. Contingency systems should be designed to support a Multi-Use Facility concept, so that they can be reused for non-contingency operations such as operational TMA sectors, training or simulation facilities, thus easing the costs of the contingency provision. Additionally, open ATM contingency solutions can ensure that future additional services are easily integrated when the contingency systems need to evolve to follow either new functions or adaptations to continue serving next-generation primary ATM systems.
In the same way, a proper contingency plan that ensures business continuity beyond the limited operations enabled by cost-effective Clear-The-Sky (CTS), should target to enable the processing of at least 75% of the traffic that can be managed by the primary system throughout long-term outages. This can only be achieved by contingency systems that are online with the primary systems so that no data is missed when switching operations to the secondary system. This leads to the concept of operations useful either for unforeseen or foreseen outages.
Let’s find out together how the ATM contingency solutions offered by Frequentis ensure your business continuity. |

Title: Integration of air taxis in the CTR – Practical case at EDLN
Speaker(s):
Jorge Casanova, DFS Aviation Services
Jan-Eric Putze, Droniq GmbH
|
Abstract: Monchengladbach airport (EDLN), a regional airport in the western part of Germany with around 47,000 movements in 2021, approximately 38,000 being VFR movements, participates in the SkyCab II research project.
The project required to create the basis for simultaneous flight operations of manned and unmanned air traffic (UAS) within the control zone (CTR) of the airport controlled by DFS Aviation Services (DAS), for flights beyond the visual line of sight of the drone pilot (BVLOS).
To accomplish this objective, an essential component was the creation of an operational concept and a safety assessment.
DAS’ role in the project was to develop the ATM operational concept by means of coordinated flight corridors as well as the implementation of standardised procedures at Mönchengladbach Tower for the air traffic controllers to clear UAS in the CTR, and provide the required proof of safety to the Federal Supervisory Office for Air Navigation Services (BAF) for the adapted air navigation procedures.
Droniq was the technical enabler for the project, based on the UAS Traffic Management System (UTM) developed by DFS and marketed by Droniq. The UTM makes the air traffic (manned and unmanned) at and around EDLN visible to the drone pilot, enabling the pilot to follow the visual flight rules that apply in controlled airspace and comply with the instructions from ATCOs.
The work from DAS and Droniq enabled the Tower ATCOs to clear UAS BVLOS take-offs and landings at a busy aerodrome within controlled airspace (CTR class D), which are now happening on a regular basis at EDLN. Allow us to present you some details on how this implementation has enabled our ATCOs to clear UAS BVLOS movements regularly at EDLN since September 2021.

Title: RPAS Insertion in the Controlled Airspace
Speaker(s):
Fabio FANESCHI, Engineer, Leonardo
|
Abstract: RPAS Insertion
The rapid growth of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and their underlying technologies has caused an increasing demand in both civil and military applications thanks to their unprecedented potential for possible uses, societal benefits and market opportunities.
The RPAS access to non-segregated airspace, alongside “conventional” manned traffic, as well as the possibility to operate beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) are key factors to unleash their potential but, at the same time, pose new challenges to be addressed.
In particular, the specific characteristics of unmanned vehicles and operations require new capabilities for air traffic management (ATM) systems in order to support an integrated, harmonised and safe environment for both manned and unmanned traffic; under nominal, contingency or emergency situations.
Leonardo is primarily involved in this challenge through a constant effort in research and innovation on its ATM product line, developing and validating new capabilities designed for a full RPAS insertion in the controlled airspace.
Our expert will provide an overview of such capabilities with focus on our solutions to provide Air Traffic controllers with a full situational awareness without significant impacts on operational procedures already in place, highlighting RPAS traffic and supporting possible emergency conditions such as C2 loss, Pilot-ATCO link loss and DAA loss.
The presentation will report the result of our validations performed in a purely simulated environment as well as in a real-virtual environment through a flight trial involving a real RPAS (Leonardo SW-4 SOLO) flying a temporary segregated area from the Grottaglie (Taranto) Airport and surrounded by simulated manned traffic.

Title: Aeronautical Data Management for Aerodromes
Speaker(s):
Henry Cáceres, GroupEAD/Senior AIM Project Expert
Oscar Centeno, GroupEAD/Deputy Ofiicer Training
|
Abstract: Over the last decade, many efforts have been made for improving the Aeronautical Data and Information Management Services provided by the states. The transition from AIS to AIM is finally seeing some successful results and it is time now to ensure the quality and integrity of the whole data chain, from originators, through AIS, to the end data users.
The data originated by the Aerodrome Operators play an important role in this data chain. There are currently some initiatives by ICAO and EU Regulations where emphasis is made on the Airport Data management and how this data must be exchanged to the AIS provider of the state.
Digital NOTAM, Aerodrome Mapping Data and Feature Services are only some examples of how the data coming from Airports must be exchanged in the near future assuring that the same principles of Data Quality Assurance for AIS/AIM are also applicable for Airport Data.
We invite you to come to our presentation to better understand the current requirements for Airport Data, how the Data Quality Assurance principles are to be applied and what solutions are ready to support the implementation of the requirements.

Title: Techno Sky Drone solution for ILS ground inspection
Speaker(s):
Michele D'Onofrio, Techno Sky
|
Abstract: Techno Sky, an authorized drone operator, part of the ENAV Group, since December 2017, has experimented an innovative system for the inspection of ILS (Instrumental Landing System) signals, at airports using a drone together with ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority). The verified signals are those of the Localizer and Glidepath antennas. The purpose of the research and development project was to verify the possibility of replacing the ground controls by means of instrumentation external to the equipment with a suitably equipped drone (ILS receiver as payload).
The tests were performed by comparing the results obtained by using the purpose-equipped drone with the others currently in use by ENAV (Ground Check Vehicle or manual checks). The operations were carried out in accordance with the ICAO Doc8071 Volume I and relevant ENAC regulations. The objective was fully achieved during the numerous tests performed at the Brescia Montichiari, Forlì and Turin Airports, where the measurements obtained by means of the drone resulted entirely compatible with those acquired through the GCV. The Techno Sky drone solution is now running in Turin Airport for periodical ILS maintenance after several validation and acceptance tests performed last year and the operational authorization released by ENAC. |

Title: Collaborative drone threat mitigation
Speaker(s):
Thomas Terschlusen, 42 Solutions
|
Abstract: 42 Solutions supplies software solutions and consultancy work to renowned European air navigation services providers such as Eurocontrol and LVNL, and is an approved supplier to major governmental organizations, including NATO, the German Air Force, the Dutch Ministry of Defense, and the European Air Transport Command (EATC).
Unmanned systems are continuing to populate airspaces around the globe, whether they are being used for recreational purposes, operational applications or, in the future, for deliveries. When they operate in the vicinity of airports, they pose a threat to safety and security, often forcing ATC and airport authorities to suspend activities and divert flights until the situation is resolved. The key is accurate information sharing to support adequate decision making, shared by all involved parties, especially for aerodromes and other critical infrastructures increasingly exposed to unmanned activities.
Global incident management based on agile collaboration within all involved stakeholders is the key to ensure efficient threat mitigation. All critical functions must be combined to present the user with a comprehensive situational awareness aiming at facilitating information-sharing, decision-making and threat management using different technologies with integrability, interoperability and scalability as key drivers.
42 Solutions aims at closing the gap between stakeholders involved in drone threat mitigation and resolution, by including air traffic control, airport operations/security, and police in the process of responding to drone threats in a collaborative approach. With data fusion, shared situational awareness, a common operational picture, and incident-based non-verbal communication, 42 Solutions supports collaborative decision making to make our skies safer. |

Title: Enhancing air traffic control training and simulation for the next generation of controller working positions
Speaker(s):
Chris Foster, Micro Nav Limited
Dr. Gotthard Börger, Frequentis Orthogon
|
Abstract: The combination of a safety-critical HMI framework and the beginning-to-end air traffic control simulator brings up a flexible Controller Working Position for Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) simulation and training.
Its architecture allows efficient adaptation to closely mimic the customer’s operational CWPs shortening the transition from initial training to operational duty and allowing effectively simulation of special traffic situations like congested air space or emergencies. This training´s efficiency ensures Air Traffic Control Centres a high return on investment and operational flexibility from the system delivered as well as contingency equipment for en-route and approach simulation.
Another advantage of the emulated operational CWP is the ease with which, using Orthogon’s modern toolkit capability, allied to the flexibility of the Micro Nav simulator engine, new proposed features and functionalities can be more rapidly and efficiently prototyped without being encumbered by the more stringent requirements allied to operational systems.
This combination of an advanced air traffic control simulator and a highly adaptive controller front end display provides users with an extensive tool for all aspects of training, research and development of both procedures and HMI, and overall replication of the operational controlling environment.

Title: More efficient/
sustainable Airside Operations, based on improved analytics for A-CDM and future ADS-C Service Provision
Speaker(s):
Adam Stark, SITA

|
Abstract: More efficient/sustainable Airside Operations, based on improved analytics for A-CDM
SITA is enriching its end-to-end airport management portfolio with data analytics and machine learning capabilities. SITAs advanced A-CDM modules, such as DMAN, De-Icing planner and ACISP will be enhanced with a new solution that uses taxi time predictions based on machine learning.
The new solution will provide a precise break down of the various phases of the Taxi operation, inbound and outbound, This can be used to enhance the accuracy of the departure sequencing. For an arrival flight, similar analytics is provided on the Taxi In process. The enhancement also helps airports monitor much more precisely than ever their noise and emissions impact by feeding simulation models with extremely precise aircraft trajectories. All of this is just one additional building block for SITAs holistic approach to more efficient and sustainable airport operations from the cockpit to public transport.
AirTS Concept
In the second part, we will introduce the SITA Airborne Trajectory Service (AirTS). The implementation of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) promises to bring very significant safety and efficiency benefits, impacting all ATC stakeholders. A prerequisite to that future is an efficient and reliable exchange of ADS-C information between the cockpit and ground actors, such as ATSUs. The AirTS concept is SITA’s proposed way of enabling this vital connectivity, enabling ANSPs to obtain the benefits of TBO and to comply with the associated ADS-C mandate. By adopting a highly centralised approach, the concept minimises the implementation costs and technical complexity for ANSPs whilst at the same time maximising the efficiency of the datalink exchanges. This centralised approach, integrated with existing datalink infrastructure, also means that the service would provide ADS-C information for an entire region from its initial deployment.

Title: APRESTA: ADS-B performance and GPS degradation assessment tool
Speaker(s):
Alberto de la Fuente, GMV/Product Manager
|
Abstract: ADS-B is a surveillance technique extensively used by the ANSP. Before putting ADS-B into service, and during the service, it is recommended to assess the level of performance of ADS-B. In Europe this assessment is stated in Article 7 of Regulation 1207/2011.
APRESTA is a tool to assess the performances of ADS-B according to the technical requirements defined in ED-129B (i.e., PU, PLG, kaPU, kaPLG…). APRESTA processes in real-time the ASTERIX Cat21 messages transmitted by the ADS-B ground stations and generates daily and monthly reports. These reports are checked by the operator to ensure that the expected performances are achieved and to detect degradations in the ADS-B service.
In addition, APRESTA detects ‘unexpected’ degradations of GPS using the quality indicators reported by the aircrafts. This detection includes the area and the timeslot affected.

Abstract: Digital aeronautical data-driven ATM systems are long overdue. With the rising daily traffic, challenging aeronautical information environment, and ever more complex infrastructure, the need for efficient digital transition of aeronautical information use is apparent.
Safe management of aeronautical information and provision of data services is critical to the development of the ATM system. Coming ATM/CNS infrastructure will demand increased automation and digitisation support and enhanced data connectivity through the introduction of IP-distributed networking, supporting network-centric structures.
Future ATM systems will have to align with some basic standards. They shall provide a global, common aviation data standard and reference system to allow fusion, conflation, and comprehensive situational awareness and conflict management. Their SWIM compliance shall be essential and must be in line with aeronautical information exchange protocols and procedures to ensure appropriate performance within the agreed rules. Systems shall provide accredited, quality-assured, timely information to the ATM community, meeting the identified performance standards, including quality of services.
The panel discussion shall bring together key industry stakeholders to discuss the critical aspects of future data-driven ATM systems as well as key benefits and challenges of digital aeronautical data.
