Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes.
- Environment: the proposed solutions should have no negative impact on the environment (i.e. in terms of emissions, noise and/or local air quality) or on the potential improvement of the aviation environmental footprint;
- Capacity: the proposed solutions are expected to contribute to capacity by enhancing the management of separation minima, both for en-route airspace and the TMA, and the provision of additional meteorological services. At airport level, the solutions will enhance the calculation of arrival runway occupancy times and the resilience of runway throughput to meteorological disruptions, enhance departure queue management, improve visual separation procedures for the aerodrome circuit and support fully automated airport operations through improved predictability;
- Cost-efficiency: the proposed solutions are expected to justify the investment costs related to the adoption of automated technologies and tools;
- Safety: The proposed solutions are expected to maintain at least the same level of safety as the current ATM system, with higher levels of automation, especially through the identification of negotiation-based resolutions at conflict resolution and collision avoidance levels, safety nets for new separation modes and improved approach procedures into secondary airports in low-visibility conditions;
- Security: The proposed solutions are expected to identify and mitigate the
