Welcome to World ATM Congress — The Pulse of Global Air Traffic

Bienvenido a Madrid! At last, World ATM Congress has arrived!

Today begins the largest air traffic management (ATM) exhibition in the world. This year, we are excited to offer four world-class Conference Programme sessions, five Edu-cation Theatres including over 80 hours of free programming brought to you by top-caliber speakers, valuable networking and fun so-cial engagements, and a record-breaking 225 exhibitors from all segments of aviation. All of this and more is at your disposal for the next three days!

World ATM Congress is a feast for the eyes, a smorgasbord of educa-tional and networking opportunities, and a forum in which to explore the latest trends and developments in the ATM industry. The event brings together aviation leaders from 125 countries, including high-ranking

regulators and officials, including Spain’s Public Works and Transport Minister Ana María Pastor Julián; CEOs of airports, airlines, and air

navigation service providers (AN-SPs); trade associations; and lead-ers of the commercial companies that provide products and services to the aviation industry.

The topics of the Conference at World ATM Congress focus on the theme, “Leadership, Change, and Implementation.” This year’s pro-gramme features insightful panel discussions examining the impact of new technologies, such as re-mote towers; the implications of new entrants to airspace, including remotely piloted aircraft systems and commercial space vehicles; and a glimpse at what the industry will have implemented five years from now.

Five education theatres – includ-ing the newly added Honeywell Tower Theatre, located in Room N106, North Convention Centre –

HARRIS AND EXELIS HAVE JOINED FORCES

With more than 11,000 aircraft currently stationed in Eu-rope, the military is Europe’s

biggest airline. Europe’s armed forc-es operate more than 150,000 flights per year. The Single European Sky (SES) initiative and its technological pillar, the Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research (SES-AR) programme, thus have consider-able implications for the military. The European Defence Agency (EDA) will outline the military perspectives on SESAR today at 14.30 – 16.00 in the Delegate Theatre, which is open to the public after the Conference Pro-gramme concludes for the day.

EDA supports its member states in the identification of the military operational and financial risks ex-pected with the implementation of SESAR. The Agency also facilitates the coordination of military views by gathering input and requirements from ministries of defence.

At World ATM Congress, for the first time, the EDA will hold a free education session to outline mili-tary perspectives on SESAR. High-level speakers from the Agency, the Spanish Air Force, SESAR Joint Un-dertaking, SESAR Deployment Man-ager, EUROCONTROL, and NATO

G&D (Stand 337) is proud to announce that Thales has chosen to utilize their KVM

solutions in the modernization project of French ATM systems.

With the complete renewal of the DSNA ATM system, the French ANSP is supposed to receive some of the most innovative flight centres across Europe. The new generation traffic management system is going to be deployed at all DSNA en route centres and major approaches. There, the sys-tems are adapted to the complex-ity of the Paris Region Approach, one of the most complex approach areas in Europe.

The system is designed hand-in-hand with the future users. The involvement of DSNA controllers and technical operators results in

will discuss challenges and oppor-tunities stemming from SESAR for the armed forces.

The military recognizes and ac-knowledges the crucial importance of the SES initiative, which aims to achieve improved efficiency, in-creased capacity, enhanced aviation safety, diminished environmental impact of flights, and reduced costs of air navigation services. The mili-tary also understands the economic

relevance of the SES.Military and civil aviation face

similar challenges. In addition, mili-tary airspace users have very spe-cific needs stemming directly from the different types of missions that are assigned to them by public au-thorities. They strive to be “as civil as possible” while remaining “as military as necessary.”

the latest generation of human machine interface technology. For an ideal operation, Thales decided to use G&D’s KVM systems. These ensure optimum system access, providing the best possible work-ing conditions to the controllers.

Reduced routine tasks will in-crease controllers’ comfort. So-phisticated controller tools and safety nets are going to increase safety. For further reliability, ad-vanced redundancy concepts based on G&D KVM switches are implemented.

First implementations are planned for ACC East (Reims) and ACC South-East (Aix-en-Provence). These two centres will pave the way for the first op-erational step to be delivered by Winter 2016-2017.

Did You Know?The Technical University of

Madrid (UPM), Spain’s largest of its kind and one of Europe’s leading institutions, was the first educational organization to ex-hibit during World ATM Congress’ inaugural year in 2013.

“We knew from the beginning that [World ATM Congress] was going to be successful,” says Rocío Barragán, assistant lec-turer of aeronautics at UPM. “We knew it was going to be a place where everyone wanted to be.”

KVM FROM G&D IT control that towers above the rest

From the ANSP to the controller to the technician, everyone’s better off with KVM.

For the service provider, KVM adds flexibility to IT infrastructure. It enables emergency work-arounds, improves workflows, adds reliability to redundancy concepts and provides continuous, uninterrupted IT availability.

ATCOs enjoy a computer-free environment. Moving the computers to a central location creates less noise, less heat and more space to create better working conditions in the control room. And the system’s more reliable too!

With KVM, technicians can access several systems from a range of locations - not just their workplace. Administration is made easier and maintenance too: the computers are stored centrally so no more crawling under desks. There’s also more time for maintenance because ATCOs can be simply switched to a back-up system whenever it’s required.

For optimum IT system control, improved working conditions and increased system safety, there’s only one all-round answer – KVM from G&D.

Leadership, Change, and Implementation

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME AGENDA

The Conference of World ATM Congress 2016 examines the joint industry leadership challenges that face ANSPs, airlines, and airports; takes a fresh look at the changes being created with remote towers; reviews the impact of new entrants into the airspace; and predicts what we will actually achieve in the next five years as the springboard to the future.

Aviation is a complex system and value chain that depends on its various parts working together in a holistic manner with a clear under-standing of the respective needs and requirements of the other parts. That is easier said than done and extends beyond simple cooperation. It calls for an elusive formula of a common vision mixed with clear and inspiring leadership from each of the players.

This session brings together the leaders of ATM, airlines and air-ports in a focused discussion on the issues that most need to be addressed today. Over and above the normal considerations of safety, capacity and operational efficiency, what are the critical ATM-related issues that are of concern to airlines and airports? Globaltracking? Avoidance of conflict zones? Noise versus emissions? Impact of new airspace users? Competition for tower services?

11.15 – 12.30Session Two: Down to Earth – Airports and ATM

Airports are at the forefront of some significant reforms in the ATM indus-try. It is at airports that competition is being introduced. ATM services in airport control towers are being outsourced and the introduction of remote tower technology digitises what was the last truly analogue part of the ATM process. Over time, that will see more opportunities for competition to be introduced.

Do airports fully understand how they can add value to their custom-ers through their control tower? What are the barriers to change? Do air navigation service providers (ANSPs) see remote tower technol-ogy not only as an opportunity for improved operational efficiency but also for competitive outsourcing and added value for users? How can A-CDM (Airport - Collaborative Deci-sion Making) best be implemented on a more widespread basis?

By Michael G. WhitakerFAA Deputy Administrator

NextGen is no longer on the horizon; it’s here. It’s in FAA air traffic control (ATC) facili-

ties and on U.S. flight decks. It’s in-creasing efficiency and flexibility in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS) — reducing delays, saving fuel, and lowering aircraft exhaust emissions.

NextGen is on the march, super-seding what might be called your father’s ground-based analog ATC system. Performance Based Navi-gation (PBN), satellite-enabled sur-veillance, and digital Data Commu-nications (Data Comm) are helping make this new age possible.

Performance Based Navigation

The time and fuel savings impact of PBN are significant. The FAA has implemented hundreds of new Area Navigation (RNAV) procedures at major metropolitan airports. These procedures enable fuel-saving con-tinuous descents on arrival, and pro-vide efficient climbs directly into the overhead traffic stream on depar-ture. General aviation, meanwhile, is taking advantage of thousands of new approach procedures with the Wide Area Augmentation System, which is the U.S. satellite based

augmentation system. The FAA has implemented com-

prehensive PBN networks at four metroplexes: Washington, D.C., Houston, North Texas, and North-ern California. A metroplex is a geo-graphic region including several air-ports and associated airspace that serve at least one major metropolitan area. Once metroplex procedures are fully implemented, arrivals and de-partures occur like clockwork along a precise network of fixed flight paths.

Where available, pilots can fly a PBN procedure known as an Op-timized Profile Descent (OPD). An OPD enables an aircraft to descend uninterrupted from cruising altitude to the runway with power at near idle. An OPD replaces radar vectors and the need for frequent level offs, which require pilots to burn addi-tional fuel.

The Houston metroplex is realiz-ing tremendous PBN benefits. Air-craft flying to Houston’s two major airports and 16 satellite airports are saving 1.8 million gallons of fuel per year, which translated into a $5.3 mil-lion dollar savings in 2015. Aircraft exhaust emissions also dropped by 15.7 thousand metric tons. Opera-tors are experiencing similar benefits at other metroplexes. More details are available on the FAA website: http://www.faa.gov/nextgen/snap-shots/metroplexes/summary/.

This is Not Your Father’s ATC System

Several more Metroplex projects will be completed between now and 2018, including Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland/Detroit, Denver, South Central Florida, and Las Vegas. Ad-ditional metroplexes will follow.

Satellite-Enabled Surveillance

The FAA is also using new cutting edge technology for aircraft sur-veillance throughout the NAS. The agency has completed baseline na-tionwide deployment of more than 600 Automatic Dependent Surveil-lance–Broadcast (ADS-B) ground

stations. These stations provide air-craft tracking data to controllers on the new En Route Automation Mod-ernization system at all 20 en route centers. ADS-B will also be integrat-ed with the new Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) being installed in Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities. The 11 TRACONs that handle 80 percent of all U.S. air traf-fic are expected to be equipped with STARS by October 2017.

ADS-B is more accurate than ra-dar and provides much faster posi-tion updates. It is offering new he-licopter and airline aircraft tracking capability over the Gulf of Mexico. The FAA has been proactive in en-couraging operators to equip their aircraft with ADS-B before the fed-erally mandated 2020 deadline. As of this writing, 450 U.S.-registered commercial aircraft and more than 16,700 general aviation aircraft have been equipped.

The FAA’s highly successful op-erational trials at Newark and Mem-phis, which ran from 2013 to early 2016, paved the way for Data Comm tower departure clearance services to go operational last summer at Salt Lake City and both major Houston airports. New Orleans was added in January 2016, with Louisville, Aus-tin, San Antonio, New York’s John F. Kennedy, and Newark airports fol-lowing in February. Data Comm will

continue to expand in the months ahead. Our goal is to provide tower services to 56 airports by the end of 2016.

Any notion that the United States is still using your father’s ATC sys-tem is as out of date as the aging equipment on which it relies. Next-Gen is well underway in the United States and the rollout is continuing this year at a quickening pace.

The gravity centre of ATM is once again in Madrid to dis-cuss topics such as leader-

ship, change, and implementation. Aviation continues to be crucial for global economies; it generates over 58 million jobs and $2.4 tril-lion in economic activity. As aviation grows, ATM systems are becoming more and more reliant on the ex-change of information to improve air traffic services. The deployment of new technologies is required in or-der to support this growth, but safe-ty and security cannot be sacrificed.

CANSO reports a decrease in the cost per instrument flight rules flight hour for most ANSPs in 2014, but looking at the long-term trend, the decrease in cost is less obvious. This means operational efficiency remains a key focus for ANSPs.

Virtualization Drives Operational Efficiency

Last year, I referred to virtual centres enabling cost efficiencies through the delivery of air traffic

control services irrespective of the location of the infrastructure. Today, we see virtualization technologies increasing progressively, spurred by recent achievements.

In February 2016, NATS, EUR-CONTROL, and skyguide, in coop-eration with SkySoft-ATM and Fre-quentis, carried out the first virtual centre demonstration showcasing multi-vendor collaboration. Partici-pants saw first-hand the value of this concept for cross-border ser-vice provision.

Cross-border communication solutions are now being rolled out across Europe as Functional Air-space Block Internet Protocol (IP) voice communications systems. The virtual centre communication solu-tion needs to provide seamless and shared access to common voice services.

At airports, virtualization in the form of remote towers is more than evident: many ANSPs and airports consider this concept in their invest-ment plans tackling the efficiency issue. While small airfields with lit-tle traffic might be good test beds to verify early concepts, mid-sized airports pose the real challenge: de-manding requirements for control-ler situational awareness are mixed with the need for a high-performing, reliable solution. In Germany, DFS is working on remote towers at region-al airports. When in operation, these will be the most complex airports with true remote tower operations.

Going forward, virtual centres and the use of remote towers will allow a more efficient and flexible use of resources, substantially improving the cost efficiency of service provi-sioning.

New Concepts Require Better Networks

For these new concepts of op-erations to be successful, the un-derlying infrastructure must adapt for ATM networks to provide better connectivity and reliable communi-cations in a more efficient manner. The challenge is to excel in opera-tional performance while reducing costs.

Intelligent networks for ATM en-able the migration of administra-tive and safety-critical applications onto a converged IP infrastructure and the ability to provide a scal-able infrastructure integrating di-verse technologies and a multitude of vendors. Providing the best re-sults in ATM communications while keeping aviation passengers safe requires a solution designed for the challenges of a modern ATM net-work.

At FREQUENTIS, we strive to be your reliable partner in all stages of development. We firmly believe that a close dialogue between industry and service providers will help us to succeed. Get in touch with us at the Congress. We look forward to shar-ing thoughts for a safer world.

On this sad anniversary, the Spring 2016 issue of The Journal of Air Traffic Control takes another look at the disappearance of MH370.

By Steve Winter, Independent Aerospace Consultant

Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, commonly referred to now as MH370, was a routine

overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, in the early hours of March 8, 2014. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER (Ex-tended Range), carried 239 pas-sengers and crew. The aircraft was reportedly in good condition, having recently passed a routine mainte-nance check.

Communications were normal un-til the aircraft was handed off from Kuala Lumpur Center to Ho Chi Minh Center by ATC. Shortly thereafter, at 01:21, MYT, the aircraft’s transpon-der signal was lost. Half an hour later, an expected Aircraft Commu-nications Addressing and Report-ing System (ACARS) transmission was not received. Despite repeated attempts to contact the aircraft, no further communications were re-ceived from the aircraft by ATC. No indication of distress was received from the aircraft at any time.

Subsequent analysis of Malaysian military radar data indicated that the aircraft had turned back and flown across the Malaysian Peninsula, be-

fore heading northwest over the An-daman Sea. Even though the ACARS and aircraft transponder appeared to not be working, the aircraft’s Sat-ellite Data Unit (SDU), which was responsible for actual communica-tion with the Inmarsat satellite con-stellation, remained operational and a number of handshakes between the Inmarsat network and the SDU took place for nearly seven more hours. Once the Inmarsat team real-ized this, they undertook an analysis of the signal data and determined that the aircraft had most likely fol-lowed a southerly flight path into the Southern Indian Ocean.
