Where do we come from?

• Summer 2008 Feasibility Study Report delivered
• FABEC initiative has developed into
• A Joint Implementation and Co-operation Project
  
• six States
• seven civil Air Navigation Service Providers and
• appropriate military Air Navigation Service
  Providers

The Process (generic overview)
Ratification of Treaty and publication in
official EU Journal
2012
Signature of Treaty
4th Q. 2010
Information to the EC
2nd Q. 2010
5
The driver of the project
increased safety

-
less impact to environment

-
reduced cost
sufficient capacity increased flight efficiency
Its all about performance ! FABEC will create
performance improvements beyond the capability of
the individual partners

Night Network Makes tactical direct routings
planable More than 150 route proposals grouped
into 6 Implementation Packages

• 2 packages finalized

FABEC Airspace Design Medium Term

• Hot Spots Areas
• ARKON RKN
• Creation of CBA Land, Removal of NL TRA
• New Route Network
• Cross Border Sectorisation
• NTM/DIK
• Creation of F / GER CBA 22
• New Route Network
• Cross Border Sectorisation
• DVR Interface
• Modular use of CBA 1
• Optimisation in the triangle EGLL, EHAM, LFPG
  allowing additional flows

FABEC Airspace Design Long Term

• Analysis initiated
• on airspace design and re-sectorization cross
  border at FABEC level along main traffic flows
  (sector families)
• on service provision organization including
  possible center consolidation
• Development of a future oriented Common
  Operational Concept taking into account e.g.
  SESAR developments and DMEAN concept
• Tailored Route System
• Between 2200 and 0400 UTC feasible FL 245 (EIP
  NN)
• Between 0400 and 2200 UTC feasible FL 385
• Further study on second Tailored Route Scenario
  FL 345

Objectives ATFCM-ASM

• Focus is set to significantly improve the KPA
  capacity

ASM FABEC wide harmonization of civil /
military procedures Further development of the
concept of Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) Improve
the level of cooperation by building common FABEC
ASM bodies and functions (or even building common
units) ATFCM Common FABEC OPS Plan for strategic
phase (FABEC NOP) including Strategic
civil-military plan and Special event
coordination Common OPS Plan Pre-tactical (next
7 days) Common definition of night and week-end
periods (for use of CDRs, week-end
routings) Method for delay sharing between the
partners has to be developed
11
FABEC ATFCM-ASM Field Trial in 2009

• Objectives
• Prepare common products for short term
  implementation to support FAB ATFCM/ASM
  integration
• Develop assess harmonized procedures
  communication process
• Identify needs concerning functionalities (tools)
• Improve responsiveness of demand/capacity
  balancing through use of scenarios
• Focus on
• Elaboration of a common pre-tactical plan
• Delay sharing task for special event coordination
• Scope
• Areas of FMP Reims, Belgocontrol, Maastricht,
  Bremen, Rhein, Amsterdam, Zürich
• Scenarios with (civil and/or military) cross
  border events
• Set up
• Supported by and in close coordination with CFMU
• 20 operational (ATFCM/ASM) experts involved for
  10 days

First impressions from trial

• Extensive effort to move from feasibily study to
  adressing practical issues
• Civil and military working together in ATFCM/ASM
  gives potential for performance improvement
• Process need harmonized procedures amongst FABEC
  partners and the support of interoperable /
  common tools
• Process between the local FMP AMCs to build an
  optimized regional consolidated plan worked
• Regional pretactical plan which optimise the use
  of available capacity within the FABEC, in the
  network context, is possible

Closing Remarks
We are confident that FABEC is feasible and
necessary there are adequate solutions to
reach the intended targets close co-operation
between the partners is the key issue but FABEC
needs consequent and sustainable political
support and leadership. FABEC-thinking at
all levels. growing, integrative structures
and innovative governance strategy. a
clear commitment to the performance
improvements.
