Development of the SPI Regulation EC Workshop on the implementation of SPI Luc TYTGAT Director Pan-European Single Sky 07 March 2014
Introduction The SPI regulation was developed in close collaboration with stakeholders including airspace users, air navigation service providers and industry The initial intent for the regulation was to: Prescribe a performance-driven and surveillance technologyindependent solution for 3NM-5NM separation within the single European sky Enable a rationalisation in ground surveillance infrastructure supported by a full ADS-B coverage, spectrum efficiency and a reduction in associated costs The end result of the process reflects a compromise, leading to the publication of the SPI and ACID regulations in the Official Journal of the EU Development of the SPI Regulation 2
The SPI IR objective Improved and cost-efficient ATM surveillance service Enable the replacement of SSR/Mode S radars through WAM and ADS-B deployment Complementary airborne requirements to support Mode S Interrogator Code allocation regulation (EC) No 262/2009 Make use of Mode S ELS / ADS-B data to support aircraft identification (ACID IR) Widespread operational use of aircraft derived data (EHS/ADS- B) Facilitate deployment of future air/ground and air/air applications Development of the SPI Regulation 3
Interdependencies EU REGULATIONS ACID IR : ANSPs required to identify aircraft by using the downlinked aircraft identification data by 02 January 2020 MSI IR : Mode S IC Allocation depends on SPI airborne requirements for Modes S surveillance identifier capabilities PBN IR : foresees shared use of GNSS positional data as ADS-B SESAR ADS-B is part of the baseline to support the essential operational changes ADS-B and WAM are important enablers of SUR infrastructure rationalisation (Project 15.4.1) ADS-B is required for future SESAR airborne applications such as Spacing, Separation etc. PCPs AF1:Extended AMAN & PBN in High Density TMAs Consistent GNSS requirements for airborne equipment AF2: Airport Integration and Throughput Functionalities Consistent with cooperative sensors for A-SMGCS data fusion ICAO ASBU FAA ADS-B Mandate ADS-B already required by Block 0 (Block B0-86) and future blocks FAA mandate requirements are more stringent than SES FAA mandate is 2020 Development of the SPI Regulation 4

Building the regulation through consultation Industry Consultation Body Mandate Initial Plan Advice Decision Regulatory Approach European Commission Decision Draft Final Report Draft Implementing Rule Final Report Opinion Single Sky Committee ENPRM Mechanisms Implementing Rules (Official Journal of the European Union) 22/11/2011 Written Informal or Formal Consultation on Draft Regulatory Approach INITIATION PHASE -Initial Assessment- -Evaluation- DRAFTING PHASE -Research- -Rule Drafting- -Consultation Material- CONSULTATION -Direct and Public- -ENPRM Document- REVIEW OF COMMENTS -Summary of Responses- 18 months 31 months 1 month 2 months Informal Consultations on Draft IR Formal Consultation on Draft Implementing Rule Stakeholders (4 consultations 788 comments) March 2006 (Mandate) to July 2010 (Final Report) due to extensive informal consultations and inclusion of ACID IR Development of the SPI Regulation 7
Stakeholder consultation on the SPI IR Final Formal Written Consultation 34 stakeholders including responses from two airline associations representing more than 300 aircraft operators The consultation revealed numerous discussion points leading to a compromise Comments by stakeholder Airspace Users 6% International Organisations Air Navigation Service 9% Providers 38% Industry 15% CAA/NSA Key Discussion Points Right balance of air/ground requirements between AUs and ANSPs Diverging views on Aircraft equipage and exemptions Means of Compliance need to be available 2 years in advance of Forward Fit dates Acceptable but would be improved with amendments 32% Comments per category 35% Acceptable without Amendment 12% Not acceptable but would be acceptable with amendments Not acceptable under any 53% circumstances 0% Development of the SPI Regulation 8
European Commision consultations After delivery of the final report to the European Commission (EC) in 2010, the EC continued consultation on the draft text: Industry Consultation Body (ICB) review and position paper on the draft regulations Dedicated working session of the Single Sky Committee (SSC) on 10 February 2011 Revised wording for anomalies (SPI) Clarification of ANSP requirements on deploying efficient solutions (SPI) Clarification on down linked aircraft identification (ACID) Discussion at SSC #41 on 6-7 April 2011 Dedicated working session of the SSC on 9 June 2011. SSC #42 on 6-7 July Recital clarification, last amendments before SSC vote Development of the SPI Regulation 9
EUROCONTROL committed implementation support actions Support to the EU Technical support to EC for extended consultation EASA NPA 2012-19 on Airborne certification specification (CS ACNS) Implementation monitoring tools Continuation of Mode S and ADS-B airborne monitoring (incl. spectrum utilisation) Application of ESSIP process for implementation monitoring (ITY-SPI objective) Support to AUs/ANSPs Identification and resolution of transponder anomalies Demonstrate compliance of EUROCONTROL surveillance products to SES Standardisation and guidance Transform former EUROCONTROL material into EUROCONTROL Specifications (ATM Surveillance System Performance, ASTERIX) EUROCAE & ICAO On-going development of guidelines on safety assessment of surveillance systems On-going development of guidelines to show compliance to Article 6 (Spectrum Protection) Development of the SPI Regulation 10
ESSIP and PRB monitoring Development of the SPI Regulation 11
ESSIP Objective ITY-SPI New ESSIP Objective ITY-SPI to monitor implementation of the SPI regulation High-level of Modes S equipage already achieved in core Europe through National mandates Source : PRISME data extracted 01-03/2013 ADS-B equipage data needs to be further assessed with regard to the SPI requirements Development of the SPI Regulation 12
PRB CAPEX Report (October 2013) Despite the absence of regulatory obligations ANSP are actively investing in WAM and ADS-B solutions Implementations and investments in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Norway, Romania, Slovak Republic, Sweden, and Turkey are reported CASCADE ADS-B/WAM Deployment Map Legend ADS-B using AMC 20-24 ADS-B using CS-ACNS WAM with ADS-B capabilities ADS-B and WAM Opportunities System Deployment Dates D=Depl., O=Oper. Although the economic crisis has impacted the 2012-2013 planned expenditure, there has been a rapid ramp up of ADS-B ground implementation projects end 2013- early 2014 Development of the SPI Regulation 13
Concluding Remarks Development of the SPI Regulation 14
Concluding Remarks on SPI evolutions Immediate considerations The SPI regulation is a result of an extensive consultation process Airspace users are now looking to postpone ADS-B retrofit dates Ground WAM/ADS-B implementation momentum is significant and should not be jeopardised Interdependencies cannot be ignored (Regulations, SESAR, PCPs) Alignment with FAA mandate will create a global bottleneck in the retrofitting process Need to investigate specific ADS-B issues identified by airspace users (e.g. costs, product availability) and coordinate the development of an appropriate regulatory solution Further considerations non-exhaustive(!) Realise the vision for a full ADS-B coverage Better links between ANSP investments and the performance scheme need to be developed to highlight benefits and cost savings In view of the DLS/Modes S experience, the management of exemptions needs to be re-assessed (e.g. need, criteria, process) Enhanced monitoring of implementation needs to be coordinated and resolution of any observed anomalies needs to be enforced Development of the SPI Regulation 15
