5. 5 /5 / Extended Arrival Management
Extended AMAN core features:
●Extend sequencing horizon from 100NM to 200NM
●Automatic coordination with upstream ACC
●=> need to better coordinate with nearby airports
●Use downlinked trajectory information
●From existing infrastructure to SWIM
24 airports and their corresponding ACC including
●Paris-CDG, Paris-Orly, Nice
●Stockholm, Copenhagen,
Dublin, Brussels
●…

Complex and dense Extended TMA
• 3 major airports
• Arrival/departure are segregated
• Asymetric feeding of the TMA
• 30% capacity reduction if
MAESTRO is stopped

Operational environment
 Reims UAC
 Manages traffic to London Heathrow
 Frequent traffic overload
 17 minutes average delay in London
in peak hours
Objectives
 Disseminate London Arrival
delay to Reims ACC via iSWIM
 Meter/schedule traffic
entering british airspace
 Coordinate regulation in Reims
sectors
 Provide speed advisories
according to delay to tactical
controllers
3 minutes absorbed

Reduced separation due to headwind
Simulations in Bretigny with Eurocontrol :
AMAN and Wake Vortex Advisory
LIDAR Wake Vortex measures in Toulouse and
CDG
=> collect data for safety case
=> prepare RECAT 1 & 2 (ABSU) to merge long

CTOT to TTA
From Take off constraint to Target Time of Arrival at congested airport:
Contribution of nearby airports to major hot spots
Transfert more flexibility / responsibility to airspace users
SESAR Large Demonstrations : involve Airspace Users via flight trials
● FAIRSTREAM : feasibility to implement TTA issued by Network Manager (B2B)
● To be continued in iStream project with AMAN support

19. 19 /19 / Interoperable data exchange
BLUESKY Finalist for Master Class in 2012
● a prototype based on web technologies, demonstrating how dynamic meteorological
information can be combined into the Flight planning process
IOP exercice in 2015 to exchange Flight Objects between
● Maastricht (MUAC / Eurocontrol)
● Karlsruhe (DFS)
● France (DSNA)
XMAN in Reims: Arrival delay between NATS and DSNA
Key enabler to exchange information between all arctors :
● to connect airports to the network
● To share information between ATC, airport, airline, Network Manager
SWIM is an enabler for other AF
to serve Air Transport operational concept

20. 20 /20 / To conclude…
Thales, Airbus, DSNA are strong partners of SESAR
●To innovate to a smarter and sustainable Air Transport domain
●To validate solutions / features and measure the gains
Thales is very keen
●To bring in Brazil its expertise, components or solutions
●To share a vision of ATM
●To support Regional Airport project
