Executive Summary

National ATM Context

The Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure is competent, among other activities prescribed in the Air Traffic Act, for the overall civil aviation policy of the Republic of Croatia, establishment of a national strategy on aviation development, ensuring the proper implementation of international aviation agreements concluded by the Republic of Croatia, adoption of secondary legislation as set out in this Act and the international agreements binding on the Republic of Croatia and preparation of draft proposals for laws in the field of civil aviation.

In international relations, organizational unit competent for civil aviation within the Ministry shall have, as "Directorate General for Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services (DGCA)", the competences in civil aviation as delegated by the minister competent for civil aviation (hereinafter referred to as: the Minister); provided, however, that the Minister shall remain overall responsible for ensuring the lawful exercise of those competences. The internal organisation of the Ministry and hence the Directorate changed significantly in March 2012. The Directorate is now called the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services and keeps all the competences of the DGCA as provided in the Air Traffic Act. The new Directorate consists of two sectors, one of which is specifically in charge for civil aviation.

The Croatian Civil Aviation Agency has been established and works separately from the Ministry of the Sea, Transport and Infrastructure . CCAA is a fully independent body set up in June 2009 as prescribed in the Air Traffic Act which was published in the Official Gazette issue no. 69/09, 17 June 2009 (and amended since, Official Gazette issue no. 84/11, and also OG 54/13 and 127/13 and 92/14). The Functions of National Supervisory Authority (NSA), in accordance with Regulation (EC). No. 549/2004 are performed by the CCAA. CCAA is responsible for oversight of ANSPs and drafting of regulations in ATM fields, when so prescribed by the EU law or if the subject matter is within the competence of member states.

Military Aviation Authority of Croatia was established in 2007 to regulate Military Aviation (MIL OAT Rules, MIL Aircraft Certification, MIL Air crew and maintenance licensing and MIL Aerodromes – Helipads certification. In Croatia, the military aviation is located on combined – civil/military airports (Zagreb, Pula, Zadar).

The Air, Maritime and Railway Traffic Accident Investigation Agency is functionally and organizationally independent from all other Croatian aviation entities and from all natural and legal persons possibly having a conflict of interests. The Agency has been established by the Law on the establishment of the Air, Maritime and Railway Traffic Accident Investigation Agency (Official Gazette, No. 54/13) and has been registered as a legal person into the court register.

Croatia Control Ltd, is an independent limited liability company established by the Republic of Croatia. The Republic of Croatia is also the sole owner of the company. The primary mission of Croatia Control Ltd. is provision of air navigation services, pursuing the basic principle of a high level of air traffic safety. Croatia Control Ltd. has been certified as an air navigation services provider which complies with the Common Requirements for the following services: ATS, CNS, AIS, and MET. Pursuant to the certification process performed by the DGCA a certificate has been issued to Croatia Control Ltd. on 31 March 2009 by the DGCA. Croatia Control Ltd. is the designated provider of ATS and MET services in FIR Zagreb.

Airport authorities are limited liability companies functionally and organizationally independent from civil aviation authorities. There is no centralised management on all airports in Croatia. Major airports are owned by the Republic of Croatia (majority owner, 55% stake) and municipal authorities (counties and cities). Zagreb Airport is main national airport. It is the biggest and main international airport in the country whose traffic activity is based on regular scheduled traffic (apart from coastal airports whose main activities are based on seasonal summer charter traffic). Other international airports in Croatia are Split, Dubrovnik, Pula, Rijeka, Zadar, Osijek, Brač and Mali Lošinj. At these Airports, ATC service provision (TWR and APP) is provided by Croatia Control Ltd.

Traffic and Capacity

Traffic situation in Croatia has evolved from 177.000 IFR GAT operations in 2000, to almost half-million IFR GAT operations in 2011. This trend has peaked and stabilised in the following years, with the widening global economic downturn, and the traffic trends in Croatia remained stagnant close to half-million operations per year. In 2016, Croatia Control Ltd recorded 533.275 IFR GAT operations.

Further growth is expected to be gradual within the current operating limitations (2,9% AAGR 2023/2016), and resulting from a multitude of factors, ranging from migration of traffic flows due overflights costs, FRA developments, to geo-political reasons and recent conflict areas outside ECAC region.

Zagreb International Airport - In terms of ATFM delays Zagreb is not identified as having an effect upon the network. The opening of a new passenger building and terminal is planned for March 2017.

Implementation Objectives Overview

Progress distribution for applicable Implementation Objectives

In the period 2014-2015 we finished following objectives:

ATC16 - EU regulation 1332/2011 is implemented in Croatia. Operators are advised on requirements. Table of the-current status of compliance with ACAS II (logic 7.1.) on Croatian registered fleet .- has been established.

ITY-FMTP - CCAA has received DoV/TF for system which implements FMTP. Verification by CCAA has been performed as a part of CroATMS change monitoring and acceptance process.

AOM21.1 - CCL started early with FRA developments with first DCT’s implemented in 2011. Since then, every year new DCT’s are introduced, their validity prolonged h24, and more recently some of them are now spanning through multiple states in the region, involving FABCE states as well as other non-FAB members, for the benefit of the users.


In the period 2015-216 the following objectives were completed:

AOM21.1 - CCL started early with FRA developments with first DCT’s implemented in 2011. Since then, every year new DCT’s are introduced, their validity prolonged h24, and more recently some of them are now spanning through multiple states in the region, involving FABCE states as well as other non-FAB members, for the benefit of the users.

FCM03 - Most SLoAs have been completed. with implementation of new ATM system in 2014. The rest should be done during 2016 and 2017, along with an update to operational documentation. Not applicable to MIL.

FCM04.1 – Although FAB CE States are not in the initial applicability area for STAM Phase 1 implementation, FAB CE STAM Working Group was formed as part of FAB CE P3 and tasked with a STAM Live Trial, which was executed in September 2015. Live Trial was used to explore and verify the possibility to introduce the application of STAM Phase 1 in FABCE area. Implementation is planned for 27. April 2017. Objective is linked with one of the FAB CE projects - see details in Chapter 5 of Level 1 document.

Progress per SESAR Phase

The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6.1.2 (PCP objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that three objectives – AOM19.1, FCM05 and NAV03 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the percentage of both phases.

The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (up to, and including, ESSIP Edition 2011-2015) are also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented by the State.

Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) documents, as an integral part of the Master Plan (MP) Level 3 (L3) / LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the MP Level 3 and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. This LSSIP document describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2016, together with plans for the next years.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organisations, the organisational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided;

Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;

Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the MP L3 Implementation Report 2015 which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The State reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations;

Chapter 4 provides the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the State per each project included in this chapter;

Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the States concerned;

Chapter 6 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation, implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition the high-level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective is presented. The information for each Implementation Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.

Chapter 6.2 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of Implementation Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2016.

The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

In international relations, organizational unit competent for civil aviation within the Ministry shall have, as "Directorate General for Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services (DGCA)", the competences in civil aviation as delegated by the minister competent for civil aviation; provided, however, that the Minister shall remain overall responsible for ensuring the lawful exercise of those competences. The internal organisation of the Ministry and hence the Directorate changed significantly in March 2012. The Directorate is now called the Directorate General for Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services and keeps all the competences of the DGCA as provided in the Air Traffic Act. The new Directorate consists of two sectors, one of which is specifically in charge for civil aviation.

Organisation of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Electronic Communications and Postal Services (DGCA) is a public service of the MSTI, organized as an internal administrative organization of the Ministry. It is managed by the Director General.

The Act on the State Administration System (“Official Gazette”, issue no. 150/11, 12/13, 93/16 and 104/16) (Zakon o sustavu državne uprave) sets down the state administration responsibilities as follows: direct implementation of acts, establishment of rules for acts implementation, conducting of administration surveillance as well as other administration and professional responsibilities and Government Decision: Regulation Concerning the Internal Structure of the MSTI (“Official Gazette” issue no. 27/12, 36/12, 79/13 and 65/15) (Uredba o unutarnjem ustrojstvu Ministarstva pomorstva, prometa i infrastrukture).

With this regulation the internal structure of the MSTI, the names of administrative organizations that are part of the Ministry and the names of internal structural units as well as their domain, the administrative methods, approximate number of administrative officials and employees have all been established.

The Ministry is in particular competent for the following activities in the field of civil aviation:

1. the overall civil aviation policy of the Republic of Croatia;

2. establishment of a national strategy on aviation development;

3. representation of the Republic of Croatia at international civil aviation organisations and organizations in the framework of the ECAA Agreement;

4. conclusion of bilateral and multilateral aviation agreements (preparation, negotiation, signature...);

1Technology alliance is an alliance with another service provider for joint procurement of technology from a particular supplier (e.g. COOPANS alliance) 2 Upgrade is defined as any modification that changes the operational characteristics of the system (SES Framework Regulation 549/2004, Article 2 (40))


SDPS

Specify the manufacturer of the ATC system currently in use: EUROCONTROL ARTAS

Upgrade of the ATC system is performed or planned? regularly

Replacement of the ATC system by the new one is planned? no

ATC Unit

The main ATM system is being developed through COOPANS (COOPeration between ANS providers) partnership together with Austrocontrol, IAA, LFV and Naviair. With unified ATM system in 5 ANSPs, COOPANS members are significantly optimizing life cycle cost through harmonization of functions and procedures and with a joint investment. Apart from the main ATM system the new system includes also a new and completely independent emergency ATM system, ARES.

Continuous development and upgrade of main ATM system will cover software functionality and hardware enhancements all that might be required by the regulators and operational requirements to achieve the SES goals, and to further increase safety and capacity.

The new VCCS provides CCL with the ability to control and manage all voice communications at the ACC and the airport sites as well as managing the radio equipment offsite. It includes also an emergency/backup solution for the ACC and regional airports (Split, Zadar, Dubrovnik and Pula).

To improve coverage area and increase capacity (number of frequencies) introduction of new radio sites is constantly planned. The upgrade of existing VHF and UHF radio network will be compliant with the Regulation (EU) 1079/2012, and will also enable future seamless migration to VoIP technology. CCL is connected to PENS and X-bone (FAB CE regional IP network) G-G networks. Some modernization will be needed to support Air/Ground Data-Link Service as a means to comply with the Regulation (EC) 29/2009.

Existing ground-based surveillance data system consists of data from one own combined PSR+MSSR Mode-S radar (near Zagreb airport), two own secondary Mode-S radars and three secondary Mode-S radars from Croatian military surveillance system.

Because own infrastructure does not ensure the sufficient level of radar coverage in some volumes some new systems deployment (the new MSSR Mode-S station and TMA ADS-B system) is planned to fully enable at least dual coverage throughout the FIR airspace and better data resolution, enhancing both performance and safety markers. This is compliant with Regulation (EU) 1207/2011.

AMC Croatia became fully operational in April 2014. Tools that are available are Lara and CHMI, and a development of a local real time ASM booking tool available to all stakeholders on a dedicated live AMC Portal.

ATFCM function is supported 24/7 by Zagreb FMP, equipped to the same common ECAC standards (CHMI and other NM applications). Dynamic Demand-Capacity Balancing tools are being developed at FAB CE level, with STAM Phase 1 implementation planned before summer 2017.

AIS uses an EAD system which is aligned with EU regulatory requirements on a regular basis, through a controlled “release” once every year. A local database, which will serve as a connector between the data originators and AIS, is under development and currently documentation is being prepared for the tender.

A state PBN implementation plan is being developed by a group represented by each stakeholder. PRNAV and RNAV-GNSS procedures are completed for the main airport in Croatia (LDZA), and the others are in the process. All procedures are validated first on the ground, and later through a dedicated flight check. Safety assessments are done for each implementation, and are delivered to the NSA for approval.

1.2.3. Airports

General information

Airport authorities are functionally and organizationally independent from civil aviation authorities. There is no centralised management on all airports in Croatia. According to Law on Airports, ownership on airports is shared among state, counties and cities.

Zagreb Airport

Zagreb International Airport (MZLZ – Međunarodna zračna luka Zagreb) is main national airport. It is the biggest and main international airport in the country whose traffic activity is based on regular scheduled traffic throughout the year.

Other Airports in the Republic of Croatia

Other international airports in Croatia are Pula, Split, Dubrovnik, Rijeka, Zadar, Osijek, Brač and Mali Lošinj. At these Airports, ATC service provision (TWR and APP) is provided by CCL.

Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP

Referring to the List of Airports in the Annex E of the European ATM Master Plan Level 3 Implementation Plan – Edition 2016, it is up to the individual State to decide which additional airports will be reported through LSSIP for those objectives. So the following airports are covered in this LSSIP: Zagreb International Airport (LDZA, ZAG). As stated in the previous section, in Croatia, the military aviation is located on combined – civil/military airports (Zagreb, Pula, Zadar).

The list of International Airports in Croatia

Split Airport (LDSP) is declared as IATA Level 2 airport (schedule facilitated airport) on weekends during the summer months. In 2015. Dubrovnik and Zagreb airports have also declared IATA Level 2 for the summer as the benefits of coordinating airport resources with the users is obvious during the busy summer months. Traffic demand on these airports has reached the available airport capacities on weekends, and prior coordination is required for an arrival operation during summer.

1.2.4. Military Authorities

The regulation (Aviation Act and Rules of the Air) dealing with the military aviation are prepared and agreed with the participation of the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Chapter 5 Regional Co-ordination

5.1. FAB Co-ordination


Advanced Air Traffic Services

AOM19.1 - For the time being, only Hungary has a specific ASM support tool (LARA) in operation, Croatia to follow early 2017. All other FABCE ANSPs plan to deploy LARA or an equivalent system by the end of 2018. The real-time management of ASM information (AOM19.2 and AOM19.3) currently sees a variety of intentions, ranging from ‘no plan’ to ‘ongoing’.

FCM03 - The implementation of collaborative flight planning messages (APL, ACH, AFP) shows a heterogeneous status, whereas the weakest point turns out to be the full AFP implementation (‘no plan’ to ‘late’).

FCM04.1 - STAM Phase 1 is planned to go into operation at FABCE level on 27th of April 2017 (except SK, BiH). STAM Phase 2 (FCM04.2) is still under discussion.

FCM05 (interactive rolling NOP) - Implementation of interactive rolling NOP is planned through upgrades of the automated ASM support systems with the capability of AIXM 5.1 B2B data exchange with NM. The objective is considered to become part of a FABCE project.

FCM06 (TFC complexity assessment) - is tackled at FABCE level within the DAM/STAM study.

AOM 21.1/2 (DCT, Free Route Airspace) - forming part of a main FABCE project, Free Route Airspace is going to be deployed stepwise within and across FABCE borders. Two main cross-border initiatives have been implemented in 2016, respectively early 2017 at H24 basis: SAXFRA- SLO/AUT and SEENFRA - HUN/ROM/BUL. Besides that, national DCT implementations are already in force and are planned to be extended. Likewise, further cross-border FRA applications beyond FABCE are planned for implementation in 2018 (e.g. SECSI FRA, merging SAXFRA and Croatian+Serbian/Montenegrin Airspace.

Moreover, a Gate One Free Route Airspace Operational Framework Study (GO FRA OF Study) has been identified to start off in 2017, including Baltic FAB, Danube FAB, FAB CE, SMATSA and M-NAV.

ATC07.1 (ATC15.1, ATC 15.2) - AMAN Vienna is considered as a regional project, but nevertheless, will include and affect the majority of the FABCE states. Planned for implementation by end 2018. Extended AMAN for Vienna is currently scheduled until 2023 at the latest.

ATC12.1 - Automated support for conflict detection, resolution support information and conformance monitoring: dependent on the national ATM system development, the MTCD function is considered a prerequisite for Free Route Airspace application. MTCD is already widely implemented; TCT is left to the ANSPs depending on local conditions.

ATC17 - Electronic Dialogue as automated assistance to controller during coordination and transfer: Having identified this objective as extremely beneficial for FRA application, the operational deployment is foreseen at those Units, which are capable do so and where relevant, by end 2018.


High Performing Airport Operations

Enabling Aviation Infrastructure

AOP04.2 - ASMGCS Level 2 is implemented in Praha and Vienna. Budapest has implemented Level 1, and Level 2 planned by end 2017. Although not part of the applicability area, Zagreb plans Level 2 before end 2018.

AOP05 - A-CDM: implemented in Praha, planned in Budapest by end 2017 and Zagreb (2017/18). Vienna status is locally fully implemented, missing only DPI message transmission, planned for mid 2018.

AOP10 - Time Based Separation: Applicable for Vienna; project has started, and in conjunction and based on AMAN implementation, it will be operational by end of 2021.

AOP 12/13 - Improve runway and airfield safety with ATC clearances monitoring: planned for Praha and Vienna in time

COM10 - Migration to AMHS: completed in AUT, SLO and SK. Ongoing in HUN, CRO and BiH; late in CZR (2018)

COM11 – Voice over IP: all FABCE states are ongoing and plan this objective in time by 2020. FCM08 – Extended Flight Plan: Specifications and requirements for the EFPL / ICAO FF-ICE are

locally under discussion. Roadmaps for TOPSKY will foresee a later implementation, e.g. 2024.

ITY-AGDL: completed in AUT, CZR and HU. Ongoing CRO and SLO, planned for BiH and late for SK (2019)

ITY-ACID - Aircraft ID: Mode S, and partly additionally A-WAM technologies, are applied in all FABCE states. Remaining actions to reach 100% of coverage are conceived until 2019, for BiH in 2020.

ITY-AGVCS2 – 8.33 kHz below FL195: All FABCE states do plan the FRQ conversions in time until end of 2018.


A safety approach to the Network operations is ensured through the FAB CE Safety Sub-committee and its cross domain Safety activities. The FAB CE Safety Management Roadmap specifies that the FAB CE ANSPs share inter alia experience regarding Just Culture. Just Culture implemented locally, taking into account the national legislation.

In close cooperation with NM, capacity enhancements are permanently identified and implemented. FABCE is going to reach the RP2 targets for ATFM Delays throughout the whole period.

Shared technical platforms, common use of Networks and maintenance, reduced NAV equipment, and others.

X-Bone, common HW Procurement (FAB CE Project 17) The goal is to upgrade the X-bone routers in accordance with X-bone Annual General Meeting decision GM4-D11, and to accomplish the first FAB CE common procurement and lay down procedural foundations for the further common procurement activities.

Integration of Security Event Management and Security Information Management into one service providing better quality and security of communication systems and higher resistance against potential threats.

Two main projects of the FABCE Program Management deal actively with operational efficiency:

Airspace Planning and Design (FRA) including aligned operational procedures, and Flexible Use of Airspace (ASM / STAM).

Flight efficiency through Free Route applications improves steadily, based on the above mentioned ops efficiency projects.

Organisation(s): ASP ANS CR (CZ), Austrocontrol (AT), BHANSA (BA), CCL Service Provider (HR), Hungarocontrol (HU), Letové prevádzkové sluzby Slovenskej republiky, Státny podnik (SK), Slovenia Control (SI)

Type of project: FAB

Schedule: Project 1: Start 3.1.2011, End: Continuous Project 1 FAB CE FRA Study: Start: 1.9.2015, End: 21.4.2017

Status: Ongoing activity Project is on track: - CEF FRA Study RTS CONOPS is delivered - FRA CONOPS available and the review and update will commence in 01/2017 once RTS report is available - ATM System Requirements report is available - Other activities in progress, will be delivered on schedule - FAB CE Airspace Plan 2016 delivered - FAB CE Network Operations Plan delivered

Description: The objective of Project 1 is the optimal use of the airspace within FAB CE, taking into account air traffic flows while ensuring consistency with the wider European network together with the assessment and implementation of the Free Route Airspace concept. The project will implement the FAB CE X-Border FRA study („Free route airspace from the Black Forest to the Black Sea” project). The key benefit expected from the project is to create a clear definition of the operational end technical pre-conditions for a conceived FAB CE X-Border Free Route Airspace, by creating a study. The study aims at defining the operational end technical pre-conditions to implement the FAB CE Free Route Airspace, including Concept of Operations, the necessary validation exercises thereof and the required development and upgrade requirements of ATM systems of the FAB CE members. Project 1 also includes annual updates of FAB CE Network Operations Plan (FNOP) and FAB CE Airspace Plan.

Y Name/Code in DP2016: 102AF3 – Free route airspace from the Black Forest to the Black Sea



Safety: ++ The baseline assumption is that the potential implementation of GO FRA would be safety neutral or positive, i.e. the level of safety would not degrade due to the introduction of a FAB CE FRA OPS

Environment: +++ 11% saving in horizontal flight efficiency by saving 2.1 km deviations (millions) from GCD and saving 23,000 tonnes of Annual CO2 in 2017.

Capacity: ++ To increase capacity to cope with the increase of around 60% in traffic in 2017 with a maximum delay of 0.28 minutes

Cost-efficiency: +++ Improvement over 2006 in ATM/CNS costs per flight hour and achieve 469 of economic costs per flight hour in 2017

Operational efficiency: ++ Advanced ATS required for FRA implementation have a positive impact on all aspects of operational efficiency

Functional integration of ASM/ATFCM processes / FAB CE-wide Study of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and STAM (FAB CE Project 3 / DAM/STAM Study)



Schedule: Project 3: Start: 29.10.2010, End: 2016

DAM/STAM Study: Start: 7.2.2017, End: 31.12.2018

Status: Project 3 closed in 2016 Follow-on project 'DAM/STAM Study': Planned Currently under development, the CEF application is being finalised

Description: The objective of Project 3 was to optimise the flow of air traffic and the management of airspace within FAB CE, taking into account the FAB CE airspace plan and ensuring consistency with the wider European network operations together with the assessment and implementation of the Rolling ASM/ATFCM Processes and STAM IDP/DM Activity Areas. The project achieved most of its original objectives and was closed in 2016. Project 3 is being followed-up with the new 'FAB CE-wide Study of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and STAM' Study Project. The main objective of the DAM/STAM study project is to obtain a key FAB CE high-level document that contains all relevant elements required for a consequent FAB CE wide implementation of DAM and STAM processes. As such the DAM /STAM final report can be seen as an implementation roadmap for all involved FAB CE ANSPs, a FAB CE ASM document that defines the high level operational concept for FAB CE DAM/STAM by describing the collaboration, processes, procedures and tools needed for later implementation. The second main objective of the DAM/STAM study is to provide the involved ANSP with all required information necessary to plan for closing existing gaps to PCP /Deployment Plan on a local level. As a FAB CE wide assessment revealed gaps to the DP 2016 among the ANSP in all the related AF families, the DAM /STAM study is the FAB CE led activity to coordinate the closure of these remaining gaps. Furthermore, it is a stated goal of the DAM/STAM study to describe and prepare the conditions required to allow for a FAB CE wide harmonization of ASM-, FUA-, DAM and STAM processes. The effect of this is seen to be FAB CE wide ASM that will allow to unlock the full operational benefits associated to FAB CE FRA implementation.

Safety: + -Increased situational awareness of FMPs, supervisors and ATCOs. STAM will give more options to avoid overloads. Following FAB CE FRA simulations and GO FRA FTS, the DAM STAM study assess the results in order to quantify the impact on this domain

Environment: ++ Trajectories are expected to be more efficient due to procedures and processes accommodating short-term changes. Larger selection of airspace configurations/scenarios available to allow for more robust planning. Direct positive impact thanks to shorter and more direct routes whenever possible, which will lead to an optimized fuel usage of the AU. In addition, increased robustness on the overall allocation of airspace will lead to a more appropriate fuel loading of airspace users. Following FAB CE FRA simulations and GO FRA FTS, the DAM STAM study assess the results in order to quantify the impact on this domain

Capacity: ++ Better usage of available airspace volumes with reduced complexity will lead to higher capacity. Short-term opportunities are effectively and efficiently managed. Overall increase of airspace capacity through optimised utilisation of airspace configurations and scenarios. STAM will give more opportunities to balance traffic demand and available capacity. Following FAB CE FRA simulations and GO FRA FTS, the DAM STAM study assess the results in order to quantify the impact on this domain

Cost-efficiency: + A capacity increase combined with increased situational awareness of the ATCO is enhanced through the introduction of complexity assessments for expected scenarios. Combined this will lead to adjustments of sector monitoring values and ATCO productivity. Following FAB CE FRA simulations and GO FRA FTS, the DAM STAM study assess the results in order to quantify the impact on this domain

Operational efficiency: ++ The application of the data / information sharing concept among all involved stakeholders will lead to an increased robustness and predictability of the FAB CE managed airspace. Following FAB CE FRA simulations and GO FRA FTS, the DAM STAM study assess the results in order to quantify the impact on this domain

Description: GO FRA Study within the Gate One region is expected to: - Evaluate the feasibility of connecting FAB and national level FRA initiatives to a larger common FRA area as a step towards Pan-European FRA deployment; - Expand the application of FRA and cover geographical gaps in FAB-level FRA implementation by the inclusion of non-FAB states to the GO FRA scope; - Facilitate the deployment of FRA in a large multi-FAB/state area by utilising the existing FRA initiatives, lessons learned and individual studies performed by the participating ANSPs in defining the framework for a common GO FRA application within a defined airspace, fully integrated with the FAB/state level FRA initiatives; - Reduce fragmentation and remove overlaps between the currently on-going different national/bi-lateral/FAB-level FRA initiatives; - Enable airspace user benefit realisation with regard to FRA operations in a larger area resulting in improved flight efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

Safety: + The baseline assumption is that the potential implementation of GO FRA would be safety neutral or positive, i.e. the level of safety would not degrade due to the introduction of a large scale FRA OPS. Occurrences of SAF2, SAF3 and SAF4 KPI’s should not increase as a result of the Gate One – wide FRA application. The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA is expected to introduce improvements in system interoperability, procedures and potentially the use of ground based safety nets and monitoring aids expected to result in improvements to the overall safety in the impacted area.

Environment: + The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA is expected to improve flight efficiency through the availability of user preferred routing and improved network connectivity between the participating FABs/states. Indicative flight efficiency (in time) assessments will be made through macro-level modelling and FTS exercises during Activities 3 and 4.

Capacity: + The baseline assumption is that the potential implementation of GO FRA would be capacity neutral or positive, i.e. the participating ANSPs capacities would not degrade (KPI CAP5) due to the introduction of a large scale FRA OPS. The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA may increase the airspace capacity with the appropriate system support and sector configuration and capacity management procedures. However, this would need to be verified through local/FAB-level RTS simulations and/or live-trials during the potential implementation phase.

Cost-efficiency: + Introduction of Gate One FRA is not expected to impact ANS Cost Efficiency KPI COS1. Impact on COS3 is expected to be negligible as ASNPs will be required to implement changes to their ATM systems for FRA compatibility regardless of GO FRA.

Operational efficiency: + It is expected that the ATM functionalities required to support flight data sharing in a large-scale FRA environment will improve predictability but this will require validation on local/FAB-level.

The second step was the implementation of cross border DCT's with Serbia (May 2013). These night cross border DCT's were valid 23:00 to 05:00. In April 2014, night time cross‐border DCT have been allowed for h24 use, and additional flows (DCT's) were added In April 2015, cross‐border night FRA (SEAFRA) has been introduced through Croatia‐Bosnia&Herzegovina‐Serbia and Montenegro. At end of 2016 , SEAFRA is implemented h24 fro FL325 above. Sector capacities and FLOWs have been redefined, FMP has a real time monitoring possibility. Additional actions are planned for complexity monitoring, described in FCM06 Free Route Airspace (SEAFRA h24) was implemented on 08.12.2016.
