ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV01 2

Explanation

The objective aims at implementing Continuous Descent Operations (CDO1) techniques that will produce a number of environmental and cost benefits including reductions to fuel burn, gaseous emissions and noise impact.

FOC: 12/2013

1: ICAO uses Continuous Descent Operations (CDO) and replaced the Term Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) with Publication of ICAO Document 9931.

What has changed since LSSIP 2014 ?

No change has occurred since LSSIP 2014

OI step - [AOM-0701]- Continuous Descent Approach (CDA)

Description:

When applied at an airport, CDA would offer a flexible and simple continuous descent approach technique that does not adversely affect safety and capacity and will produce a number of environmental and cost benefits including reductions to fuel burn, gaseous emissions and noise impact.

IOC: 07/2007

FOC: 12/2013

Most important SLoA(s)

ENV01-ASP01 To cater for Successful implementation of CDO at designated airport

If procedures are not published, do not report progress “Completed”

ENV01-ASP02 “Completed” if all approach Controllers at airport are suitably trained

and make use of CDO

ENV01-APO01 To cater for AOP role in implementation: Support CDO measures,

implement monitoring of performance and feedback to ANSP and users where equipment is available. Provide the main link with the local community

Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions (1)

ENV01-ASP02

If CDO is implemented, please confirm the period for which you offer CDO to pilots: e.g. Night time only / Day-time only / 24/7 hours/ as traffic density allows / Majority of flights offered a CDO during period of x.

If CDO is implemented, what % of total airport approaches (approximatively) are achieving a CDO profile?Select one among 0-20% / 20-40% / 40-60% / 60-80% / 80-100% or provide any more precise figure

ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV01

ENV01-APO 01

If CDO is implemented, please indicate whether the monitoring results are being regularly reported to all Stakeholders involved:Y/N,

and if Y (above) please indicate which type of results (e.g. fuel consumption, noise, emissions)?

Note: Monitoring of performance is not compulsory for SLoA Status “Completed”, but is recommended for best practice.

If CDO is implemented, what % of Airlines are being active at your airport in applying CDO?Indicate the % of Airlines applying and using CDO

Objective’s completion criteria

Partially completed:

At least, either a CDO design has been approved or a CDO trial has commenced

Completed:

CDO is established as an operational procedure and procedures are formally published and used in practice. A working arrangement to track performance and seek improvement has been established.

ESSIP Report 2014

Stakeholders matters

The implementation of CDO techniques has not significantly improved in 2014. The anticipated 80% implementation target, due by end of 2013, was not reached by end of 2014.

Main reasons for delay• Delays in implementing the Aeronautical Information Management

recommendations (AL, GR, HR, ME, RO, RS);

• Reorganisation of service provision and establishment of the ANSP (BH).

Objective Coordinator’s Analysis

States should verify that CDO procedures have been published and are in practical use before declaring the objective as  ”Completed”.
