The purpose of this document is to provide stakeholders with a high level description of the programme strategy, work programme and deliverables needed to implement FASTI. The document is targeted at decision makers of Air Navigation Service Providers, Airspace Users, Industry and ATC Regulators and other FASTI stakeholders.

This document defines the FASTI Operational Concept Validation activities on the Programme Level. This includes the validation of the necessary Enablers. It will define the necessary projects to achieve the FASTI validation objectives and the approach to consolidate the project’s findings on the programme level. The decision to go/no go forward with the "Implementation and Ops Planning" of the FASTI Programme is after the completion of the "Initial Implementation And Ops Validation" of the FASTI Operational Concept.

This document is the Programme Management Plan for the FASTI Programme.

This Validation Report details the conduct and results of the FASTI Pioneer Support Project North Real Time Simulations that took place in Malmö ACC during September and October 2008. It reports the simulation set-up, the operational concepts assessed during the simulation, the technical findings of the simulation and the results in relation to the FASTI KPA.

This document is the report of the shadow mode operational trials and demonstrations of SYSCO functions conducted at Geneva and Zurich ACCs during Feb. and Mar. 2010 for the EUROCONTROL FASTI Programme.

The FASTI Implementation and Support Plan has been developed to answer the following questions:

· Where are we today?
· Will deployment be completed by 2013? (the end of the IP1 timeframe)
· Where does the FASTI Programme need to focus its resources?

An online survey was carried out in September/October 2009 which addressed the current and planned implementation status of FASTI in Europe. Data was collected from 36 ANSPs representing 65 ACCs.

This document reports primarily on the status of FASTI tools implementation across ECAC ANSPs in 2010 and their plans for implementation by 2013. It also identifies the support required from the FASTI Programme over the next year. Insights are provided on factors influencing the implementation of FASTI tools, transition outcomes and critical success factors for supply industry. A number of conclusions and recommendations are highlighted to achieve FASTI tools implementation by 2013.

An overview of how the FASTI team works with ANSPs, the type of support available and the experience to date with a number of partners.

Provides a strong message that time is of the essence if the 2013 SESAR requirement is to be met.

The FASTI objective is to coordinate the implementation and deployment of controller system support and tools, as required, across ECAC by 2012 in a harmonised way. The FASTI ATC Manual is provided as a guideline for ANSPs, ATM related industry (system providers) and regulators, for the implementation of MTCD, MONA and SYSCO in a coordinated way ensuring common operating procedures and interoperability between ATC centres within the ECAC area.

This concept outlines the scope of FASTI application, assumptions, dependencies and operational environments as well as descriptions of controller roles and working methods, required for the successful operational implementation of conflict prediction tools (e.g. MTCD) and enablers (e.g. MONA, TP, HMI and SYSCO).

The target audience of this document is operational personnel, airspace and ATM system planners, Human Factors and Safety practitioners and operational focus groups.

This document reports the results of EUROCONTROL's First ATC Support Tools (FASTI) Implementation Programme, Real Time Simulations conducted and managed by ENAV and Skyguide. Descriptions of the process employed for the simulations are provided with the twofold purpose of explaining the context in which these results were produced and ensuring completeness of the report.

The fast time simulation reported in this document aims at assessing the potential benefits of conflict detection tools (MTCD, TCT) for planning and tactical use by the controllers. The study is focused on i) the investigation of taskload reduction and taskload re-allocation aspects and ii) the evaluation of the ratio between controller taskload reduction and accuracy of MTCD/TCT tools.

The results may feed subsequent real time simulations and may provide inputs to a business case study

This document provides system requirements for Medium-Term Conflict Detection (MTCD).

This document presents good practice guidelines for First Air Traffic Control (ATC) Support Tools Implementation (FASTI). The guidelines focus on Human Factors (HF) and managing the transition to the FASTI tools and are based on the lessons learned from system changes in Air Traffic Management (ATM) over the last five years or so. The following HF categories have been considered: Human in System, Procedures, Roles and Responsibilities, Teams and Communication, Training and Organisation and Staffing.

These guidelines will be of value to project managers and their teams to ensure that HF issues are managed in an integrated way during the transition to a new system/tool.

This document describes the HF Case Process which has been applied to the FASTI toolkit within the context of the FASTI Programme. It highlights key findings, describes how potential issues have been addressed and makes recommendations to support the implementation of FASTI. This report is of value to project managers and their teams to ensure the HF issues are managed in an integrated way during the transition to FASTI tools.

EUROCONTROL’s role is to coordinate, harmonise and expedite the uptake of the FASTI system. ANSPs, supported by industry, will be responsible for implementing operational systems. EUROCONTROL has developed a Preliminary Safety Case (PSC) comprising an argument and evidence that the concept and high level design of FASTI (so far as these have been proposed by EUROCONTROL) could be safely put into operation. Each ANSP will need to undertake more detailed definition and design, taking account of their specific operational context and needs, and then carry out implementation, transition and operation. In parallel with this, ANSPs will need to develop the PSC into a full Safety Case, demonstrating operational safety, and providing a basis for licensing and auditing by national safety regulators. This document contains guidance to assist ANSPs in adapting and extending the PSC to produce a full Safety Case for their own implementations of FASTI.

This document is a Preliminary Safety Case (PSC) for the FASTI tools and their associated human and procedural elements. It comprises a structured Argument and Evidence, showing that the FASTI concepts and high-level design as proposed by EUROCONTROL can be made acceptably safe for use in the proposed operational context.

A number of Safety Issues remain to be addressed before this claim can be fully substantiated and the PSC finalised. The main needs are to ensure that adequate ANSP input is obtained, and that appropriate simulations are carried out.

This PSC identifies key areas in which ANSPs will need to review or develop the Arguments and Evidence in parallel with their evolving designs and plans for implementation.

This document is the FASTI business case report of the FASTI Business Case study.

This document aims at giving the key messages and some guidelines to ANSPs to decide on the implementation of FASTI, and how it could be conducted.

The objective of this document is to address the “Strategic Fit” issues for FASTI, to provide input for the Cost-Benefit Analysis model. It identifies key potential benefits of the FASTI programme.
