ATSA-ITPObjective

ATSA-ITP: Airborne Traffic Situational Awareness - In Trail Procedure in procedural airspace

Improved Flight Economy and Flight Safety/Comfort by increasing the opportunities for Flight Level changes through use of new longitudinal separation standard during climb/descend increased pilot awareness of climb/descend opportunities

Objectives

Refine the ATSA-ITP procedure Validate the operational acceptability Demonstrate technical feasibility Ensure that North Atlantic specific constraints and opportunities

are taken into account in the standardization and industrial development

Develop a benefit model for ATSA-ITP in the North Atlantic environment

Prepare a revenue flight trials phase and develop a plan towards operational implementation

Results 1 (2)

Technical feasibility Prototypes and current technical equipment support the ITP procedure Detailed performance analysis is ongoing

Operational acceptability Procedure appreciated, well understood and correctly applied Airborne prototype HMI found “easy to use” Current controller HMI is acceptable to support ITP Clarification of procedure usage (input to ATSA-ITP standard) Agreement on phraseology by controllers and flight crew

Strong preference for using CPDLC (free text is acceptable and pre-formated msg preferred)

Procedure design and usability allows for a small amount of controller and flight crew training

Results 2 (2)

Efficiency, Capacity and Economics Benefit analysis result consolidation is ongoing Results expected shortly

Safety Safety issues within the scope of procedure clarification have been considered

throughout phase 1 of the project

Identified areas for further attention Use of third party Aircraft Identification over voice is an issue ITP clearance over voice is time consuming Existing conflict probe function in relation to the new separation minima Investigations for ITP specific controller HMI functions

Conclusions

CRISTAL-ITP:

Made the world’s first flight trial of the ATSA-ITP procedure

Successfully achieved clarification of how the ITP procedure can be applied in the NAT airspace

Provided important input to the ATSA-ITP standard

Shown Technical Feasibility for airborne systems

Created Operational Acceptance by controllers and flight crew

Developed and improved the procedure phraseology CRISTAL ITP agreement on Voice and CPDLC phraseology

Continues towards implementation
