PHARE Demonstration 3 Operational Concept

PHARE Logo
PHARE Demonstration 3 was a real-time simulation comprising two organisations; Baseline and Advanced.
The baseline organisation was a reference close to the current operational situation. The Advanced Organisation was characterised by the following concepts:
  • human centred approach for automation;
  • multi-sector environment;
  • traffic organisation and 4D trajectory negotiation.

The advanced operational scenario proposed concepts for the time period from 2005 to 2015 when the traffic mix will progressively comprise a population of 4D equipped aircraft, increasing to a significant ratio: estimated at around 70% equipped aircraft.

The aim of the PHARE Demonstration 3 programme was to design a scenario for an air traffic environment within the core area of Europe, with potential for a significant capacity increase over that of the present air traffic system while benefiting airline operators with more economical flights.

The concept was that extra capacity would be found with the introduction of new flight management and precision navigation systems, data-link communication, multi-layer planning techniques, and advanced ATC tools to improve air traffic management. The integration of these developments into a single air-ground entity, while retaining the decisive roles of Air Traffic Controllers and Pilots was a prime objective of the PHARE Demonstration 3 Advanced Organisation.

PD/3 Demonstration Operational Specification

This document provides the top-level description of the operational philosophy investigated and, as much as possible, demonstrated by PD/3 and the corresponding candidate operational scenarios expected to be simulated during the final large-scale demonstrations.

PD/3 Operational Scenarios Document (Volume 1)

This document, which is the Demonstration Operational Specification document, describes the working
procedures of the Baseline and Advanced Organisation to be demonstrated in PD/3. It details the main sequence of air-ground and ground-ground events, the roles and tasks of controllers and pilots, the use of data-link, and the requirements of automatic functions and HMI.

PD/3 Opreational Scenarios Document (Volume 2)

This document, Operational Scenarios Document Volume 2 (OSD Vol.2) complements OSD Volume 1 issued in January 1997. Volume 1 detailed objectives of the PHARE Demonstration programme and supplied an overview of the operational scenario. A general description of the airspace, ATC organisation and roles and tasks was provided to enable the framework of the experiments to be planned.
Volume 2 of the Operational Scenario Document enlarges significantly on Volume 1 in areas such as the Baseline and Advanced Organisations and provides further detail concerning controller tasks, communications, GHMI requirements and the role of equipped aircraft.
