Recommendations on priorities for the EGNOS SoL geographical coverage needs

across the Euromed region

Prepared by Antonella Di Fazio, MEDUSA project coordinator, email: [email protected]

Background

Further to the requests from the Euromed countries in relation to SoL coverage provision expressed during

the 6th Euromed GNSS WG meeting (Brussels 25 September 2013) and also in occasion of the vis-à-vis

discussions with the countries in the frame of the MEDUSA national workshops, MEDUSA has been

requested by the European Commission to provide recommendations concerning the priorities for EGNOS

SoL geographical coverage of the Euromed countries.

Outcomes

The recommendations are given in the form of three priorities, outlined by the MEDUSA project upon the

criterion to cope with the needs of the Euromed countries for EGNOS SoL coverage, to be possibly used in

the definition of a roadmap for EGNOS SoL service coverage across the Euromed region.

It should be pointed out that EGNOS SoL service coverage is considered from the aviation needs

perspective, and thus in relation to the need to serve a specific airdrome area, meaning that a certain

country do not necessarily need to have the coverage across the whole country territory (naturally in most

of the cases, EGNOS SoL coverage availability over aerodromes ensures EGNOS OS available over a larger

area).

Thus the priorities are defined in terms of the airports of the countries for which EGNOS SoL coverage has

to be ensured in order to allow LPV operations.

Methodology

As above mentioned, these recommendations have been derived by the MEDUSA project considering the

needs of the Euromed countries for EGNOS SoL coverage.

The three priorities are based on the outcomes of the MEDUSA project’s activities, in terms of:

• The inputs of the Euromed countries.

The delegates officially nominated to represent the civil aviation domain for each beneficiary country

have been asked to select their priority aerodromes, featuring favourable conditions for the

implementation of SBAS based APCH procedures (in terms of achievable benefits and/or strategic

reasons).

• The countries’ maturity with respect to the introduction of RNP and specifically LPV operations in terms

of awareness, strategy, stakeholders’ readiness, institutional framework.

• The four necessary phases of the implementation path to be accomplished by countries for the

introduction of LPV operations. As outlined by MEDUSA, such phases are:

1. Getting the necessary knowledge about EGNOS use and understanding/evaluating the relevant

benefits (for all beneficiary countries, but for Libya, this has been done with the support of the

METIS project);

2. Outlining a strategy/triggering the decision-making process in relation to the operational

introduction/adoption of EGNOS (for all the countries including Libya, this is on-going with the aid

of MEDUSA through specific assistance actions);

3. Establishing a bilateral International Agreement between the State and European

Union/Commission (in the frame of MEDUSA, a few countries have already issued an official

request to EC to start this institutional phase);

4. Negotiating and signing a “Letter of Agreement” (EGNOS Working Agreement EWA-like) between

the country’s relevant aviation body and ESSP providing a framework for the exchange of

information regarding SBAS status and performance (one of the technical assistance actions

undertaken by MEDUSA aims at the definition of the “SES regulatory equivalence” on which this

“Letter of Agreement” will be based).

Recommendations

In the following the three priorities are briefly reported, the rationales for the countries/airports

ranking/selection among the different priorities are detailed in the annex 1 to this letter country by

country.

As before detailed, the priorities are derived in terms of the airports on which EGNOS SoL coverage has to

be ensured. Thus for each priority, the list of identified airports per country is provided, with relevant

information:

• Country

• Airport/ICAO code

• RWY (runway)

• ARP (Airport Reference Point, i.e. the coordinates of the airports)

• ID (in the maps included in the annex 2 to give a quick geographical view).

Priority one (ivory)

• North Africa:

− Algeria - selected airports in the North of the country.

− Libya - selected airports in the North of the country;

− Morocco - selected airports in the North of the country;

− Tunisia - all airports;

• Middle East:

− Israel - all airports;

− Lebanon - all airports (the country has only 1 airport/Beirut).

Annex 1 – Rationales for the countries/airports ranking/selection among the

different priorities

North Africa

Tunisia

Tunisia is showing the highest level of maturity (among the Euromed countries) in relation to the

operational adoption of EGNOS in aviation, in terms of interest/strategy and commitment. The country

intends to start soon:

• The elaboration of the PBN Plan, envisaging the widespread use of GNSS and particularly of EGNOS;

• The official path towards the bilateral International Agreement with the European Union/Commission

(a cooperation agreement between EU and Tunisia in the field of satellite navigation is already in place

since October 2012).

EGNOS SoL coverage is already available today in a few airports located in the North of Tunisia. Benefitting

from the support of MEDUSA, Tunisia is already evaluating the necessary steps for the publication of RNP

APCH procedures specifically for the Monastir airport, where the today’s EGNOS coverage makes feasible

the implementation of EGNOS based operations, in particular LPV approach procedures (i.e. EGNOS SoL

service performances, with regards to the APV-I performance requirements, are sufficient to enable the

implementation of EGNOS based operations in line with ICAO prescriptions).

Thanks to this, MEDUSA has selected Tunisia as the study case for the analysis and definition of the “SES

regulatory equivalence”, to act as a basis for the EGNOS Working Agreement for non-EU/Euromed

countries (as afore specified in point 4). Thus it is expected that the Tunisia’s example will drive the process

for the implementation of LPV operations in the whole region.

Morocco

Also Morocco shows a high level of maturity in relation to the operational adoption of EGNOS in aviation. A

cooperation agreement between EU and Morocco in the field of satellite navigation is already in place since

December 2006.

The country has already a good technical experience in relation to SBAS use gathered from EU projects

(such as in procedure design, flights validation), and moreover the present PBN Plan duly considers the use

of GNSS and EGNOS.

In the frame of MEDUSA, Morocco is actively following the activities related to the implementation of

EGNOS-based (i.e. LPV) operations together with Tunisia. In particular, Morocco is tightly looking at the

Tunisia’s example though for the moment there is not the intention to make an official step.

Considering these points, the country needs and the geographical layout, MEDUSA foresees the

deployment of EGNOS SoL coverage across Morocco in two phases:

• In the first phase (priority one), ensuring EGNOS SoL coverage on a few airports in the North of the

country that have been selected by the country delegates;

• In the second phase (priority two), completing EGNOS SoL coverage on the remaining airports.

In this way, the country can follow a gradual approach towards LPV operations, firstly in the airports in the

North in order to build the basis for a suitable decision-making process (also benefitting from the Tunisia’s

example) and then to possibly extend to all airports.

Algeria

Algeria is very promising for the implementation of SBAS based APCH procedures, in terms of possible

benefits thanks to the traffic, typology of aerodromes with favourable conditions, etc.

Yet, the country shows some difficulties primarily in the decision-making process, that slackens the path

towards LPV operations.

Despite this, in the frame of MEDUSA, the country has shown interest towards EGNOS and it has also

expressed its needs in relation to airports expected to benefit a lot from EGNOS introduction. Moreover,

some important progresses have been made by the country, one of the main triggering factors being the

example of neighbouring countries (such as Tunisia and Morocco).

Considering these points, the country needs and the geographical layout, MEDUSA foresees the

deployment of EGNOS SoL coverage across Algeria in three phases:

• In the first phase (priority one), ensuring EGNOS SoL coverage on a few airports in the North of the

country that have been selected by the country delegates (with the exception of the airport of

Tamanrasset that has not been considered, though included in the list of the airports selected by the

Algerian delegates, due to its position in the far Southern part of the country);

• In the second phase (priority two), extending EGNOS SoL coverage on the airports located up to the

mid of the country;

• In the third phase (priority three), completing EGNOS SoL coverage on the remaining airports in the

South part of the country (including the airport of Tamanrasset).

In this way, the country can follow a gradual approach towards LPV operations, starting from the North

while benefitting from the experience of the neighbouring countries to possible support/facilitate the

decision-making process.

Libya

Libya has a scenario for EGNOS similar to Algeria.

The country has started in being involved in EGNOS initiatives only recently in the frame of MEDUSA (Libya

was not included in the Euromed GNSS I/METIS), and thus has to recover this gap in terms of knowhow,

awareness, benefits evaluation, etc.

In the frame of MEDUSA, the country has expressed interest towards EGNOS and a strong commitment to

learn and swiftly implement the necessary steps, including the official ones.

Libya is about to launch the elaboration of the PBN Plan soon and it is expected to duly consider GNSS and

EGNOS.

Considering these points and the country geographical layout, MEDUSA foresees the deployment of EGNOS

SoL coverage across Libya in three phases:

• In the first phase (priority one), ensuring EGNOS SoL coverage on a few airports in the North of the

country that have been selected as showing favourable conditions to give the country the opportunity

to becoming familiar with LPV operations and validate the relevant benefits;

• In the second phase (priority two), extending EGNOS SoL coverage on the airports located up to the

mid of the country;

• In the third phase (priority three), completing EGNOS SoL coverage on the remaining airports in the

South part of the country.

In this way, Libya can follow a gradual approach towards LPV operations, aimed at recovering the gap for

not being involved in METIS and gathering the necessary knowledge (also benefitting from the experience

of the neighbouring countries), so that to be ready for the operational introduction of LPV in the whole

country.

Egypt

Egypt belongs to both the North Africa and the Middle East areas of the Euromed region.

Although Egypt is one of the Euromed countries involved since the beginning and the aviation community is

extremely interested to EGNOS, presently the country suffers from the lack of the necessary commitment

at institutional level that is required for the introduction of EGNOS operations (as above detailed in points 3

and 4).

Egypt has almost completed the elaboration of the PBN Plan envisaging the widespread use of GNSS.

MEDUSA has gathered the needs of the aviation community in relation to airports expected to benefit a lot

from EGNOS introduction.

Considering these points, the country needs and the geographical layout, MEDUSA foresees the

deployment of EGNOS SoL coverage across Egypt in two phases, starting from the priority two:

• In the priority two, ensuring EGNOS SoL coverage on the airports up to the mid of the country, also

including those selected by the Egyptian aviation community;

• In the priority three, extending EGNOS SoL coverage on the remaining airports in the South part of the

country.

In this way, Egypt can develop the preparatory actions necessary for LPV operations, to be ready when

EGNOS SoL will be available across the country for the possible relevant smooth adoption.

Middle East

Israel

Israel has very favourable conditions for EGNOS use, for:

• Technical maturity, awareness and know-how;

• Promising aerodromes for the implementation of SBAS based APCH procedures;

• Present PBN Plan, considering GNSS (and to be updated envisaging also EGNOS as recommended by

the working groups in the frame of the BLUE MED FAB project)

Page 17: MEDUSA for EGNOS SoL coverage across Euromed January ...galileo.cs.telespazio.it/medusa/public/Final event 4 June...Moufdi Zakaria/DAUG RWY 18 DZA-12 32.381667 N 3.7994 E RWY 36 Date:

• Institutional framework and commitment (Israel has already a cooperation agreement with EU in the

field of satellite navigation, and additionally the country has also officially made the request to start the

necessary institutional process , Israel is actively involved in the BLUE MED FAB project).

For the above reasons, also considering the country needs and the geographical layout, ensuring EGNOS

SoL coverage across Israel is considered as a priority one (also in coherence with the BLUE MED FAB that

has relation with Israel and Lebanon).

Lebanon

Despite the low level of know-how and awareness, Lebanon is a good candidate in the area for the

introduction of LPV operations:

• The airport of Beirut has a very promising scenario for EGNOS;

• The country aviation community is extremely interested;

• The country has the necessary institutional commitment (Lebanon has also officially made the request

to EC to start the necessary institutional step).

As above mentioned, the country does not show a sound technical maturity, but the Lebanese aviation

community is concretely demonstrating a strong interest to learn and to consider GNSS and EGNOS in their

PBN Plan to be drafted.

Additionally, Lebanon is bordering the BLUE MED FAB airspace.

For the above reasons, also considering the country needs and the geographical layout, ensuring EGNOS

SoL coverage across Lebanon is considered as a priority one. This enables the country to develop the

preparatory actions necessary for LPV operations, to be ready when EGNOS SoL will be available, and in

parallel also to possibly foster Lebanon higher involvement in all BLUE MED activities.

Jordan

Jordan has the necessary technical maturity, awareness and know-how in relation to GNSS and EGNOS. Yet,

due to the requests of the country airspace users (primarily the national carrier) and the perspective of

EGNOS coverage due to the country geographical position, the interest of the country towards EGNOS is

limited:

• Mainly for foreign aircrafts;

• For one airport (i.e. the King Hussein Airport in Aquaba), while for the remaining two airports the use of

GBAS is presently under evaluation;

• To be used in the long-term.

The country is presently developing a PBN Plan considering the use of GNSS and also assisted GNSS, at first

primarily GBAS and EGNOS in the perspective of the necessary service coverage.

Considering these points, the country needs and the geographical layout, MEDUSA foresees the

deployment of EGNOS SoL coverage across Jordan in two phases, starting from the priority two:

• In the priority two, ensuring EGNOS SoL coverage on the King Hussein Airport in Aquaba;

• In the priority three, extending EGNOS SoL coverage on the remaining airports.

Syria

Due to the present political situation, the only realistic recommendation that can be given is to include

EGNOS SoL coverage across Syria as a priority three.
