5
Plenary Session

• What are the expectations from the main players?
• Chris North (EC DGTREN)
• Pieter van der Kraan (EUROCONTROL)
• Nicolas Zveguintzoff (IATA)
• Bo Redeborn (LFV)

6
Plenary Session

• Need to get airports and airlines more involved.
• Get full commitment
• Implementation time lines are too long.
• Too many things are going on separately.
• USA/European cooperation RD sufficient?

7
Benefits

• Operational needs, lessons learned, expected
  benefits, overall maturity and potential
  implementation timeframe.
• Juergen Lauterbach (Lufthansa)
• Graeme Clark (Easyjet)
• Pedro Rastrilla (AENA)
• Alain Printemps (CENA)

8
Benefits

• A large number of potential benefits were
  identified
• ASAS Spacing most promising application for the
  short term
• Airport enhanced surveillance could improve the
  safety and efficiency.
• A number of concerns were highlighted
• Sharing of responsibilities, Controller
  acceptability, Safety Case
• Need for reference operational concepts
• Competing enabling technologies (1090 vs. VDL
  Mode 4)
• Business case paramount

9
Costs/Implications

• Implications of ASAS applications on ground/
  airborne systems, training communication,
  infrastructure, and the associated costs.
• Pieter van der Kraan (EUROCONTROL)
• Peter Howlett (THALES ATM)
• Thomas Fixy (Airbus)
• Patrick Souchu (DGAC)

10
Costs/Implications

• Early implementation is essential
• Further work is needed for Standards and CBA
• We should mandate Package 1 and focus on subset
  Application to reduce timetable
• 1090ES is not the answer but is going to happen,
  a study for the up-link is needed

11
Impact

• Expected impact of ASAS on workload, safety, and
  responsibility for the human operators
• Uwe Kroger (IFALPA and VC)
• Anthony Smoker (IFATCA)
• Bengt Moberg (SAS)
• Roberto Barchitta (Alitalia)

12
Impact

• Lack of knowledge concerning what ASAS
• Willingness to be involved by IFALPA, IFATCA and
  ATCEU
• Trust - both technical and managerial issues
• Package 1 may not be ambitious enough/ paradigm
  shift
• Learn from experience in parallel worlds and
  use the safety case

13
Inter-operation / Safety

• Change the environment, delays, standards,
  military, ATC sectors, single sky. Transition
  aspects. Mix equipage environment. Time scales.
  Interoperability
• Alberto Pasquini (Deep Blue)
• Jose Roca (EUROCONTROL)
• Ronald van Gent (NLR)
• Martin Robinson- (IAOPA)

14
Inter-operation / Safety

• General
• Need to disseminate/coordinate better
• Still a need to avoid the capacity gridlock
• Maturity
• Validation required
• Integration with existing systems
• Mixed equipage
• Equipage rate
• Transition
• Mandate
• Safety benefits
• Mode S elementary surveillance
• Incentive

15
Conclusions

• Need for agreement and commitment from the
  various stakeholders
• Package 1 definition exists but fragile
• Need for pilot and controller acceptability
• Need for agreed standards for interoperability
• Need for a clear implementation plan
• Need for improved exchange of information
