Deploying trajectory based operations technologies in Europe can only bring benefits if a global ICAO mandate exists ; non European carriers fly in the European airspace : airlines will only get benefits if the avionics of all airspace users are contributing to the setting up of a single trajectory definition. A very useful symposium where FAA ,Canada , Japan, Singapore ,… and the military community contributed to enrich the roadmap proposed for the European region
👀 🛫 In the final session of the #GlobalTBO Symposium, our ED, Andreas Boschen, highlighted the necessity of a TBO roadmap. “We need a roadmap because there are so many elements that have to be implemented by so many #stakeholders. It has to be as simple as possible, comprehensive as necessary,” he said, reminding the audience about the plan to make TBO a reality progressively by 2040, to be outlined in the next edition of European #ATMMasterPlan. 📢 He moderated a panel discussion gathering insights from… 👇🏽 🔹 Pascal Luciani, International Civil Aviation Organization, noted that the European roadmap is advanced and consistent and even ahead of what is in the global air navigation plan (#GANP). He underlined the need for global mandates and sustained #cooperation between Member States. 🔹 From a safety perspective, Luc Tytgat, EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency said that the roadmap on the table has real potential since TBO will contribute to reducing conflicts, among other things. The next steps will be the #certification of the technologies in the pipeline to confirm that they are safe and meet the expected #performance requirements. Alignment globally will be critical to overcome fragmentation and ensure #implementation worldwide. 🔹 Steve Bradford - Federal Aviation Administration, agreed with the principles outlined in the European TBO Roadmap, but noted that there are different ways (technologies) to getting there. We need to figure out how to transition to hyper connectivity and the connected aircraft, to overcome artificial barriers and use software to break them down. 🔹 Anna von Groote, EUROCAE, noted that there are standards already available or in the pipeline for TBO that are fit for purpose. The focus now is on establishing even closer links between #SESAR #deployment priorities coming out of the European #ATMMasterPlan campaign and the EUROCAE technical work programme. We need to leverage ICAO’s leadership to ensure global implementation. 🔹 Christine Berg, European Commission, said that frameworks like #SESAR were helping to engage stakeholders both in Europe and globally and build the momentum to advance ATM modernisation. She noted that roll-out takes time and so it is essential that stakeholders stay energised for the duration. She concluded that there are high expectations for a gear change to deliver the changes to keep aviation safe and sustainable. It’s a global challenge that requires a global answer. #ATM #AirTrafficManagement #DigitalSky #Collaboration
