Test out first-hand the high-performing runway solutions that we have developed to optimise aircraft spacing buffers and separation minima on final approach, taking into account pair-wise wake vortex turbulence separation (RECAT-EU-PWS), individualised runway occupancy times (iROT) combined with reduced minimum radar separation. Solutions with enhanced approach profiles for reducing noise and increasing flight efficiency will also be showcased.

Visitors will be able to test the use of a demonstrator of the time-based Optimised Runway Delivery (ORD) tool, which can be calibrated with machine-learning prediction. This tool is supporting the integrated application of optimised minima and can increase the arrival throughput by up to 15%, stabilising the arrival runway throughput in headwind conditions, significantly enhancing operational predictability and resilience.

Following a high level of interest, all our slots are fully booked. However, you can still contact us and we will come back to you if we can accomodate you.

The 1030 MHz and 1090 MHz frequency pair is a critical resource, one that is vital to the European ATM network and, especially, to surveillance and collision avoidance systems.

The use of these frequencies is core for SSR Mode A/C radars, Mode S radars, Wide Area and Local Multilateration, ADS-B, ACAS and military systems. Any problem with these RF frequencies has an immediate and direct impact on the network’s capacity – and has the potential to threaten safe and efficient operations.

Presentation of CADENZA (Advanced capacity and demand management for European Network performance) & ISOBAR (Optimisation and AI solutions to meteo-based DCB imbalances for Network operations planning), by Franck Ballerini

The objective of CADENZA is to develop and validate a trajectory broker concept with different options for advanced capacity-demand balancing i.e. acting simultaneously on three levers: capacity provision, temporal and spatial distribution of demand (departure slots and flight paths, respectively). The implementation of this concept would lead to a significant reduction of ATFM delays, increased cost-efficiency and reduced emissions.

ISOBAR aims to develop and validate AI models to integrate convective weather forecasts, predict demand/capacity imbalances and automate the selection of mitigation measures at local and network level. This is to better anticipate from D-1 leading to a more stable network operations plan and a significant reduction of ATFM delays.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have been actively used in the defence sector over the last 30 years mainly using US and Israeli platforms. The emergence of new types of platforms, from micro UAS to High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS), as well as the current development of Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) by four European nations, offer an opportunity to foster sustainable and smart mobility, improve the competitiveness of European industry and strengthen Europe's strategic autonomy in this key technical domain. This also represents an excellent opportunity for civil-military cooperation since many of the technological building blocks building up these systems, such as Detect and Avoid, autonomy, datalinks, electrooptical sensors and other payloads are paradigmatic cases of dual-use enabling technologies, which ideally should also have European origin.

This panel will gather key actors from industry and European organisations to discuss the role of military UAS as a trigger for the development, standardisation and regulation of key dual-use enabling technologies in Europe.

The Russian attack on Ukraine shows that armed conflicts are still possible threats to our freedom and democratic values, requiring joint military and civil efforts to defend in what we believe. This new political situation in Europe will require adaptations in areas related to civil-military cooperation. Therefore, balanced considerations between commercial aviation and security and defence must shift more weight towards security and defence needs to ensure that national air forces can deploy assets throughout Europe in all-weather conditions at short notice, which is paramount to establish and maintain a military readiness posture for deterrence and defence of Europe. The panel members will be asked to share their perspectives on the potential impacts of a changing European security environment on civil-military ATM/ANS cooperation.

Space services and data are supporting the transformation of Air Traffic Management (ATM), and continuously evolving to meet new needs on Communication, Navigation and Surveillance. Space has been used for more than 50 years in air navigation and the deployment of space augmentation systems, like EGNOS, is bringing Cat I to all airports with minimum investment. EGNOS is evolving to dual frequency multiconstellation, and Galileo has been baselined for use in aeronautical navigation by ICAO. Moreover, Space based ADS-B is gaining momentum and new Space services are underway to support aviation communication needs.

This panel will gather key actors from European organisations and service providers to discuss the role of Space in ATM, from research and development to deployment, discuss the service provider and user view on latest developments and look ahead in view of safer, more resilient and sustainable air transport relying on Space.

The modernisation of Europe’s ATM is entering a new phase with the establishment of the new SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking public-private partnership and the new SESAR Deployment Manager, in which EUROCONTROL Network Manager is taking on the role of the consortium coordinator. The SESAR 3 JU has an explicit regulatory objective to develop and accelerate the market uptake of innovative solutions to establish the Single European Sky airspace as the most efficient and environmentally friendly sky to fly in the world. This session will explore how the Europe for Aviation partners are working together to meet this objective, focusing on SESAR solutions that can be implemented rapidly and that can bring environmental benefits in the short to medium term. The panellists will also explore solutions that allow for a more flexible and resilient infrastructure that is capable of withstanding unpredictable shocks like COVID-19 and will explain how close cooperation with regulatory and standardisation bodies, notably the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and EUROCAE, are key to accelerating the market uptake and deployment of such solutions.

UAS are increasingly dependent on robust navigation and position information, as well as precise planning of their missions, in order to ensure the safety of their operations. This session will explore how Space services and data support UAS operations, implementation of U-space and pave the way for Urban air mobility. The speakers will discuss the role of EU navigation systems, Galileo and EGNOS, and Earth Observation, Copernicus. They will provide an outlook of the roadmap, actions and opportunities to integrate EGNOS/Galileo in U-Space, propose answers based on Space to the increasing needs for safe navigation and integrity tailored to the particularities to UAS, and introduce the role of Earth Observation to support flight planning and risk assessment.

Mitigating the climate impact of non-CO₂ emissions: MUAC/DLR contrail prevention trial: first results and way ahead

This presentation will focus on the results of the first worldwide live operational trial on contrail prevention ...

This presentation will focus on the results of the first worldwide live operational trial on contrail prevention aimed at mitigating non-CO2 emissions which was carried out in 2021 by EUROCONTROL’s Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre (MUAC), in partnership with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). With two-thirds of the impact of aviation on climate change believed to come from aircraft non-CO2 emissions, contrail prevention has a key role to play in curbing global warming. In total, 209 aircraft trajectories were included in the trial over 10 months. The MUAC/DLR trial on contrail prevention is one contributor and component in a much wider picture of mitigating climate change. It is an important milestone from theory to practice and a stepping stone from science to engineering. Scientists and ATM managers will share the results in a bid to spark decisions for the future of aviation. The way-ahead in contrail prevention will be explained.

This presentation will focus on the preparatory steps supporting the deployment of initial trajectory sharing as described by the CP1 regulation (AF6). EUROCONTROL and SDM have teamed up to lead the Operational Excellence Programme on ATS B2 to ensure the timely availability of complementary specifications on ADS-C/EPP data receipt and distribution for CP1 AF6. The presentation will also provide an outlook of where the community sees the extended use of ATS B2 datalink services in the context of TBO.
