RACOON
Summary
RACOON is the ENAV‐led demonstration activity on Remote TWR concept and RNP APCH procedures.
The project aims at demonstrating, within
the Italian airport context, that these two
concepts represent, singularly or combined, a viable solution to optimise, under specific
operational and technical conditions, the level of aerodrome ATS services, with special reference to Cost Efficiency and Access & Equity KPAs.
The project addresses both single and multiple airport remote TWR concepts and relies on a stepwise demonstration
approach, encompassing the execution of RTS and Shadow Mode sessions as
preparatory steps to the Live/Flight trials. 1
The Partnership
… and as supporting Partners:
2
Scope
• Deployment of the required technical infrastructure and definition of the operational conditions for operating at least one National interest airport remotely from the cluster Strategic Airport
• Provision of ATS/ATC services to a Single runway Aerodrome from a remote location, under given operational conditions and technical assumptions (night operations, low traffic conditions, good weather condition)
• Sharing of ATS services for multiple airport, under given operational conditions and technical assumptions (night operations, low traffic conditions, good weather condition)
• Acceptability/flyability of RNP APCH (APV BARO / LPV SBAS) procedures, also in combination with the Remote Tower solution
• GNSS monitoring (including real time monitoring solutions) 3
KPAs addressed
1.
The Project is oriented at investigating onto:
– Cost Effectiveness
– Access and Equity
with the aim at demonstrating how the described solutions can provide improvements to those KPAs … 2.
4
… without negatively affecting the main KPAs in ATM:
– Safety
– Security
– Capacity
– Human Performance
Demonstration Context
• The North‐West traffic cluster • Milano Malpensa ‐ LIMC, being the Strategic airport, to host the Remote Tower Centre (RTC)
• Milano Linate ‐ LIML, as the National interest airport to be operated remotely through the Remote Tower Module (RTM);
• A generic additional airport ‐ LIXX, to be operated remotely through the same RTM
5
Demonstration Approach
•
STEP 1: execution of RTS exercises aimed to support the definition of the safety and security cases for the identified scenarios
•
STEP 2: conduction of Shadow Mode operations to assess the readiness of the Remote TWR environment
•
STEP 3: Demonstrations with Flight Trials to investigate different use cases:
– RNP APCH procedures, with local control
– Conventional procedures, with remote control
– RNP APCH procedures, with remote control
– ATS services for multiple airports
•
STEP 4: development of a CBA methodology for the combined use of the two concepts within a cluster of airports where such solution would be viable to increase Cost‐efficiency and Access&Equity KPAs. 6

Moving From Airspace to 4D Trajectory Management
Airspace users plan their business and mission trajectories:
 Following User‐Preferred Routes
 Within airspace not constrained by a fixed route network; and
 Where airspace reservations are managed dynamically All stakeholders use a shared and consistent view of flight data, working collaboratively to plan and execute trajectories that fully meet Airspace User needs
In the execution phase 4D trajectory data is enriched with current airborne data shared via data link
34
Moving from Airspace to 4D Trajectory Management
4D Trajectory Management creates an environment where air and ground stakeholders share a common view of the aircraft’s trajectory, so that the flight can be managed as closely as possible to the Airspace User’s ideal profile, while optimising the flow of air traffic.

FREE Solutions
Summary
FREE Solutions aims to bridge R&D towards
deployment, proving the benefits of some Free
Route
operational
solutions
in
real‐life
environment. The project will demonstrate the
potential linked with deployment of more efficient
City‐Pairs, Direct Routing and Free Routing
operations over a wide multi‐FAB continental area
as a first step towards the implementation of
Airspace Users’ preferred business trajectories.
Making reference to current ATM system
capabilities and more effective FUA operations,
FREE Solutions demonstration activities are
expected to bring effective benefits in terms of fuel
savings, reduction of CO2 emissions, improved real‐
time flight planning capabilities as well as higher
ATM performances, flexibility and efficiency.
43
The Partnership
•
44
The consortium ‐ led by ENAV S p A ‐ consists of 5 AU, 5 ANSPs and NM: ENAV S.p.A., Air France Group, Alitalia, DFS, DSNA, EUROCONTROL/Network Manager, Lufthansa, MATS, Ryanair, Skyguide and Swiss Airlines. Scope
•
FREE Solutions project activities are mainly focusing on two ATM Functionalities
already identified in the Pilot Common Project:
– Flexible Airspace Management and Free Route;
– Network Collaborative Management.
•
The scope of the project is the definition and demonstration of Free Route
operational solutions over a wide multi‐FAB continental area to improve ATM
performances, flexibility and efficiency.
– City‐pairs and Direct Routings: more efficient city‐pairs and direct routings providing
performance enhancements in terms of mileage savings, fuel consumption and
environmental impacts, combining horizontal and/or vertical efficiency improvements.
– Free Routing: designing and testing an ad hoc cross‐border/FAB Free Route Airspace
(FRA) across 4 countries where AUs will be free to fly from a fixed entry point to a fixed
exit point on the basis of their business/operational needs.
– Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA): further exploiting the effective and flexible use of
airspace through a more efficient and dynamic civil‐military coordination and an
enhanced AUs flight planning process.

KPAs addressed
•
The FREE Solutions project will assess the identified operational solutions performance benefits mainly in the following KPAs:
–
–
–
–
–
Safety Environment Capacity
Efficiency
Human Performance
•
The Safety performance assessment aims at demonstrating that all identified scenarios are acceptably safe and are not negatively affected by the proposed operational solutions.
•
The Safety assessment approach adopted by FREE Solutions project encompasses a structured, planned and systematically organized process performed in accordance with European and National Regulations too.
47
Demonstration Approach
•
STEP 1: Demonstration Plan production and definition of the most promising project operational solutions for both short to medium term and long term period. This first step will lead to the execution of a first set of flight trials focused on a set of optimised City Pairs. •
STEP 2: Building on the analysis and the outcomes of the trials performed on the city pairs, a set of cross‐border Direct Routings (DRs) will be selected for the execution of a second set of flight trials dedicated mainly to the defined Direct Routing operations. •
STEP 3: To pave the way and derisk/refine the procedures to be used for the final set of flight trials dedicated to cross‐border Free Routing operations a dedicated set of Real Time Simulation / Dress Rehearsal activity will be performed. The execution of RTS exercises will be also used for further consolidate the safety case for the proposed scenarios/exercises.
•
STEP 4: Building on the proposed operational solutions and on the results of the RTS exercises, the final step of the FREE Solutions demonstration foresees the execution of a set flight trials focused on the defined Free Routing operations that will make reference to a dedicated Free Route Area. 48
