Frequency Management Activities in Europe
PRESENTED BY:
FMG Chairman
John MettropFrom

ACD A00000 00-01
What is the FMG
A European Air Navigation Planning Group (EANPG) sub-group where frequency/spectrum management experts can:- Undertake Work related to European
frequency management Undertake Work related to ICAO spectrum
management Undertake other specific tasks as directed
by the EANPG
ACD A00000 00-01
What is the Role and Responsibilities of the FMG
The development of planning criteria for use within EuropeBased on ICAO Annex 10 guidance material with regional variations
The maintenance of a frequency assignment database for Europe
The co-ordination, against agreed criteria, of changes to the frequency assignment database
ICAO European spectrum management
ACD A00000 00-01
Why Does Europe Need an FMG
Complexity of Planning Issues Number of Large Airports
5 of the worlds top 20 within 600km of Luxembourg
Proximity of States11 States within same 600km radius of Luxembourg
Number of Assignments 12,000 VHF Comms 10,200 Nav Assignments(2100 NDB, 1200 Loc, 1500 ILS, 1000 VOR, 3400 DME, 1000 MLS)
Number of Co-ordinations2003 (488 VHF Comms, 68 NDB, 41 ILS, 3 GBAS,
41 VOR, 101 DME & 3 MLS)
