INTRODUCTION

The following annex provides a detailed analysis of ATC capacity evolution in 2016 for ACCs within the ECAC States for which data is available. The source of statistics is the NMOC unless otherwise indicated. The analysis covers:

• Traffic & Delay

The chart and data table provide comprehensive information concerning the evolution of traffic and delay from 2012 to 2016 (where data is available). It includes the following values:

─ Peak day traffic is the number of flight entries to the ACC on the peak day of each year.

─ Summer & Yearly Traffic is the daily average number of flight entries during the summer season (May to October inclusive) and over the whole year (January to December).

─ Summer & Yearly En-route Delay is the average En-route delay per flight (including weather and special events e.g. industrial action), attributed to the ACC during the summer season (May to October inclusive) and over the whole year (January to December).

• 2016 Realisation of Capacity Plan

─ Traffic Evolution gives the percentage difference between the total traffic (number of flight entries) in 2016 compared to 2015, for the summer and the full year.

─ En-route Delay gives the number of minutes per flight of En-route delay attributed to all causes and also excluding delays attributed to weather and special events. Values are provided for the summer and the full year.

─ ACC Reference value per ACC is the delay breakdown to achieve the European delay target of 0.5 min/flight for the full year, and 0.7 min/flight in the Summer season, as published in the NOP 2016-2019/20.

─ ACC Capacity Baseline – Offered:

ACCESS or Reverse CASA was used to measure the capacity actually offered by the ACC during the reference periods (6-19 June 2016, 4-17 July 2016). This is calculated from actual delay (Reverse CASA) or from projected delay (ACCESS). Projected delay is obtained by increasing the traffic and creating a regulation scheme for the studied ACC using traffic volume capacities and configuration data (sector opening schemes) provided by ANSPs.

─ Capacity Plan (increase for Summer 2016) is the percentage value provided by ANSPs in the Network Operations Plan 2016-2019/20. This figure represents the ANSP commitment to increasing ACC capacity for Summer 2016, when compared to Summer 2015.

─ Capacity enhancement: planned enablers

This information was taken from the local capacity plan in the Network Operations Plan 2016-2019/20. An indication is given as to whether each measure was implemented as planned.

─ Summer 2016 Performance Assessment

This provides an analysis of the observed performance and of the achievement of the planned capacity increase. ACC performance has been assessed by analysing traffic and delay statistics for each ACC and the evolution of the capacity baseline. Where relevant, other significant factors were also taken into account, such as industrial action or planned major events that resulted in a temporary reduction in capacity.

• Allocation of and reasons for En-route delay

The table lists the reference locations (sectors) causing most of the ACC delay, the number of minutes of En-route delay attributed to each location and the percentage of the total ACC En-route delay. The graph shows the total ATFM En-route delay generated by each ACC, broken down into the 5 most significant reasons given for the delay in 2016 compared to 2015.

Note: The scale on all graphs varies from ACC to ACC - graphs should not be directly compared.

Summer 2016 performance assessment

The ACC capacity baseline was estimated to be at 118 in summer 2016. During the measured period, the average peak 1 hour demand was 122 and the average peak 3 hour demand was 111.

Unforeseen staffing issues affected performance in Quarter 2 of 2016. As from Quarter 3 measures were implemented to solve such issues.

At the same time the particularly high growth of traffic on the Southwest axis resulted in some capacity gaps in the West sector group.

New interface between FS Varna and Ankara ACC, combined with revision of sector organisation, provided additional capacity for the Middle East traffic flows. As a result complexity is reduced significantly and the delays from previous summer (generated by Turkey) are reduced to zero. The new interface organisation will ensure unimpeded traffic growth for the flows to/from Middle East for the next few years.

Additional sector layers Yes DFL 315-395 implemented. The DFL is flexibly changed throughout the day and increases adaptability of sector configurations to traffic demand.

Cross sector training Yes

Additional ATCOs Yes Updated training plan adopted. Training on schedule.

Increase of simulator training capabilities Yes SATCAS simulator number of position has been increased

Summer 2016 performance assessment

The ACC capacity baseline was measured with ACCESS and was assessed to be at 186. During the period June/July, the average peak 1 hour demand was 162 flights and the average peak 3 hour demand was 149 flights. However, the actual peak traffic demand in Sofia ACC does not coincide with the period used for the present capacity assessment and it is shifted towards mid-August where peaks above 200 flights/hour are easily observed.

EDWWACC - Traffic and en-route ATFM delays

2016 Realisation of Capacity Plan

Capacity Plan: 0% Achieved Comments

Maximum configuration: 14 +3 sectors Yes 16 sectors were opened

Summer 2016 performance assessment

The summer traffic increased by 3.4%. The traffic development was in line with the STATFOR Baseline scenario for the year 2016. The Average ATFM Delay En-route per Movement was increased to 0.20 min/flight in Summer 2016. The delays were mainly due to “ATC Capacity” (42%), “Weather” (36%) and “ATC Staffing” (21%). The offered capacity was the same as in 2015, but the strong traffic growth led to a certain capacity deficit. Therefore, the ADM Summer is above the EU reference value. The capacity deficit was only due to the unexpectedly strong traffic growth in the BERLIN area.

The maximum configuration of 16+4 consisted of 13 en-route sectors, 3 en-route/APP- sectors (Hamburg, Hannover) and 4 APP/TMA- sectors (Berlin). The offered configuration of 10+3+3 was opened during the whole year. The sectors EIDER EAST and MÜRITZ LOW were only open for military exercises. The sectors BERLIN DEPARTURE NORTH and SOUTH were always combined. In the SF South was one sector always combined.

Maximum configuration: 39 sectors Yes 36 sectors were opened.

Summer 2016 performance assessment

The summer traffic growth reaches 3.3% and is higher than the expected high growth scenario (+3.1%). The Average ATFM Delay en-route per Movement strongly increased to 0.58 min/flight compared to the previous summer period (0.26 min/flight). The delays were mainly due to “Weather” (40%), “ATC Staffing” (35%) and “ATC Capacity” (18%). There was a capacity deficit: On one hand, the traffic strongly increased in some sector families (7,8% in the Eastern SF and 4,2% in the Central SF); on the other hand, the difficult weather conditions in the summer influenced the capacity situation.

The offered capacity decreased in 2016 to the level of 2014. NATTENHEIM, which previously consisted of 3 sectors, was split into 4 sectors for more flexibility. A maximum configuration of 43 en-route sectors was available; the CHIEM, ISAR, FULDA sectors were mostly combined. Only 3 sectors were opened simultaneously in NATTENHEIM. Of the 8 possible subsectors FRANKFURT and WÜRZBURG, a maximum of 7 were open simultaneously. The offered configuration consisted of 36 sectors.

Upgrade of P1/ATCAS system PSS SF10 Yes Successfully completed on 17./18.12.2016

Maximum configuration: 22+12 Yes 33 sectors were opened.

Summer 2016 performance assessment

The summer traffic increased in 2016 compared to 2015 by 0.3%. The Average ATFM Delay en-route per Movement significantly increased to 0.46 min/flight in summer 2016 compared to the last year (0.15 min/flight), and was therefore above the reference value (0.30 min/flight). The delays were mainly due to “Weather” (37%), “ATC Staffing” (28%), “Special Events” (19.5%) and “ATC Capacity” (13%). The high proportion of

delay caused by “special events” can be explained by the introduction of PSS in SF 07. Overall, the capacity deficit was mainly caused by PSS implementation in the Summer season.

The maximum configuration of 23+13 consisted of 23 en-route sectors (including 3 sectors with predominantly military traffic), 2 en-route /APP- sectors (Stuttgart) and 11 APP/TMA- sectors (Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Cologne/Bonn). The offered configuration was 21+12 sectors (the en-route sectors NECKAR HIGH and LOW, KITZINGEBN and HAMMELBURG were always combined; in Cologne/Bonn APP, two sectors were always combined - either DKAE and DKAW or DKAW and NOR).

EGPXACC - Traffic and en-route ATFM delays

2016 Realisation of Capacity Plan

The delay per flight increased from 0.02 minutes per flight in summer 2015 to 0.51 minutes per flight during the same period in 2016.

43% of the delays were due to Special Events, 22% to ATC capacity, 20% to ATC staffing, 13% due to weather, 2% due to other and 1% due to airspace management.

The increased delay in 2016 was directly associated with the introduction of iTEC FDP system. The system is now fully operational and normal operations resumed.
