http://www.eurocontrol.int/seminar-laser-interference-aviation


POSSIBLE WAY AHEADShort-term (quick wins)

• Review In-flight and post-flight reporting procedures (e.g. warnings through NOTAMs, ATIS, R/T messages etc);

• Training for pilots and ATCOs • Awareness campaigns with the industry and society • Current technologies for the protection of the laser interferences• Unlawful interference at ICAO level

Medium Term

• EU Legislation (production, distribution, purchase, carriage and use of certain type of laser) including non-intentional interferences (criminal offence, prosecution, licensing)

• Research for future technologies for the protection of laser interference

SKYbrary – The single point of reference for aviation safety knowledge


SKYbrary

SKYbrary

Electronic repository of safety data related to ATM and aviation safety in general

Make available a source of information and reference for anyone interested in aviation

safety.

Consists of a hyperlinked network of articles.

The article is the building nucleus of the knowledge base.

Contains links to other related articles, to documents placed on the SKYbrary

bookshelf or to external documents and sources (websites).

Follows the semantics and style of encyclopaedia articles

– short, concise & mainly concept-related

Callsign Similarity Background – Safety Initiative

The Air-Ground Communication (AGC) Safety Improvement Initiative - launched by the EUROCONTROL Safety Team in 2004

“Investigate the feasibility of using the flight planning process for systemic analysis, detection and de-confliction of similar callsigns”

European Action Plan for Air Ground Communications Safety released – 2006


Why EUROCONTROL ?

Need pan-European solutions

Current approach fragmented – only partial solutions

Network Manager - ‘manages’ European flight plans

EUROCONTROL coordinates safety programmes for ATM


EUROCONTROL Project: Aim

Reduce risks associated with

Callsign Similarity/Confusion

CSS Users Group established co-chaired: Air France and Agency

Active participation 50 + AOs and ANSPs

CSS Tool and Service development

Next CSS User Group Meetingspring/summer 2012


CSS Project Strategy

Service Level 0Establish Callsign Management Cell (CSMC)Assume ex DSNA deconfliction task (10 airlines)Develop CSS Tool Agree and Publish Callsign Similarity Rules

Service Level 1Single AO De-confliction Supported by EUROCONTROL CSS Tool and CSMC ServiceReduction ratio = 74%

Service Level 2Multi AO De-confliction (between different AO schedules) Reduction ratio 1 + 2 = 80%


Operational Concept – Use Cases


CSS Tool


CSS Tool

• Web based• Direct use by AOs via NOP portalImprovements compared toexisting tools• Higher automation • Increased coverage (full detection

in NM area, aerodrome detection worldwide)

• User friendly – usable without intense training

• More space for call sign solutions
