The central role of the ATM Master Plan
• The most recent update of the ATM
Master Plan, approved in 2012,
identifies the "Essential Operational
Changes" that need to be
implemented to lead to the full
deployment of the new SESAR
concept by 2030
• Contains:
– Performance objectives (The Why)
– Description and prioritization of technical
solutions (The What)
– Deployment scenarios per stakeholders
(The Where and When)
– Investment needs and performance gains
over time (The How Much)
– Standardization and regulatory roadmap,
Risk Management Plan (The How)

• Same philosophy
• Mutual impact, Global  Regional
– Need to improve ATM performance
– Aim at the Global ATM Operational
Concept
– Through deployment of a series of
step changes
– From concept definition to
operations
– For timely and useful standards
– With all other national programmes

Performance targets in the Master Plan
Baselines overall performance needs required at network level at a given
point in time on the basis of traffic forecasts and business priorities;
defines SESAR performance targets in four KPAs:
Safety
Airspace
Capacity
Runway

Environment
Cost Efficiency

Linking development to deployment
• The ATM Master Plan is for the European Union the sole source of ATM
technology development and implementation
• Common projects are the tools chosen to deploy those selected ATM
functionalities that will achieve the Master Plan’s Essential operational
changes (Article 4.1 of Common projects IR (EU)No 409/2013)
• Common projects aim at deploying in a coordinated and timely manner
technology this “essential technology” when it is:
– Mature
– Bringing significant performance benefits at network level
– Requiring coordination at European level

Pilot Common Project: first set of
functionalities ready for deployment
• The PCP aims at coordinating and synchronizing the
implementation of the most relevant ATM functionalities (AF)
developed by SESAR.
• AF are logical groupings of essential operational / technical changes
identified in the ATM Master Plan that imply an overall global
positive CBA
• The Commission adopted on 27 June 2014 the Regulation (EU)
716/2014 , making binding the implementation of the six first AF:
AF # 1: Extended AMAN and PBN in high density TMAs
AF # 2: Airport Integration and Throughput Functionalities
AF # 3: Flexible Airspace Management and Free Route
AF # 4: Network Collaborative Management (Flow & NOP)
AF # 5: iSWIM: Ground-ground integration and aeronautical data
management and sharing
– AF # 6: Initial Trajectory Information Sharing: air-ground integration
towards i4D with enhanced Flight Data Processing performances

Link between performance and
charging scheme and SESAR
• Performance plans shall include a description of the investment, including
that necessary to achieve the performance targets, detailing their
relevance to the ATM Master Plan and the common projects
This description is submitted to Commission scrutiny
• User charges may be modulated to optimise the use of air navigation
services, reduce the environmental impact of flying, reduce congestion
and to accelerate the deployment of SESAR ATM capabilities.

Conclusions
• The Single European Sky initiative aims at improving
ATM performance through a set of interrelated
activities
• The ATM Master Plan is the roadmap towards
technology deployment and has a structuring impact
on both development and deployment activities now
running in parallel
• Technology development and deployment are directly
hooked to ATM Master Plan performance expectations
and to the SES policy
