SES Performance Scheme Reference Period 2 (2015-2019)

The second reference period (RP2) covers the calendar years 2015 to 2019 inclusive.

Legal context

Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013.

RP2 SES States

The 28 EU Member States at the start of RP2 ( Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom) plus Norway and Switzerland (30 States in total).

Performance Indicators

SAFETY

Effectiveness of safety management (EoSM)

The Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) indicator should be measured by verified responses to questionnaires at State/competent authority and service provision level. For each question the response should indicate the level of implementation, characterising the level of performance of the respective organisation.

Application of risk analysis tool (RAT) methodology

The measure determines to what extent the Severity classification based on the risk analysis tool (RAT) methodology was applied when assessing the severity of a safety occurrence.

Reporting of Just Culture (JC)

Reporting of Just Culture (JC) aims at identifying possible obstacles and impediments to the application of Just Culture. Just Culture means a culture in which front line operators or others are not punished for actions, omissions or decisions taken by them that are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, willful violations and destructive acts are not tolerated.

ENVIRONMENT

Horizontal en-route flight inefficiency

The measure provides an indication of the flight inefficiency en-route.

Additional time in the Arrival Sequencing and Metering Area (ASMA)

The additional ASMA time is a proxy for the average arrival runway queuing time o n the inbound traffic flow, during congestion periods at airports.

Additional taxi-out time

The additional taxi-out time is a proxy for the average departure runway queuing time on the outbound traffic flow, during congestion periods at airports.

Effective use of the civil / military airspace structures

The indicators address the effective use of the civil/military airspace structures.

CAPACITY

Minutes of en route ATFM delay per flight

The measure provides an indication of ATFM delays (resulting from an air traffic management initiative, i.e. flow regulation) on the ground due to constraints en-route.

Airport ATFM delay

The measure provides an indication of ATFM delays (resulting from an air traffic management initiative, i.e. flow regulation) on the ground due to constraints at airports.

Adherence to ATFM slots

The measure provides an indication of the level of adherence to ATFM slots.

Air traffic control pre-departure delay

The ATC pre-departure delay is the additional time that the aircraft is held at the stand to avoid queuing at the departure runway.

COST-EFFICIENCY

Determined unit cost (DUC) for en route ANS

The measure addresses the costs for the provision of en-route air navigation services.

Determined unit cost (DUC) for terminal ANS

The measure addresses the costs for the provision of terminal air navigation services.
