Comprehensive Explanation (1/2)

Implementation of Medium Term Conflict Detection (MTCD) and
MONitoring Aids (MONA) functionalities.
 MTCD is an ATC tool which checks the system trajectories (Flight plan
enhanced with surveillance data) and identifies the potential conflict.
This function requires an appropriate presentation of detected conflict
to the planning/tactical controller.
 MONA is a conformance monitoring functionality including lateral,
longitudinal and vertical conformance as well as progress monitoring.
 Some functions, like longitudinal and lateral conformance plus
progress monitoring, are widely implemented in ECAC area.
 Additional flight conformance monitoring functions as: vertical
conformance, CFL conformance, potential co-ordination failure,
SSR code conformance, potential level bust are implemented by a
limited number of ATM systems.
 Automatic reminders (i.e. those that include controller reminders
for next sector transfer, co-ordination reminders and maneuvering
clearance) are not widely implemented.

Most important SLoA(s)
 ASP01 – ‘Implement MTCD function’
 ASP03 – ‘Develop safety assessment for the changes’

Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions
 ASP01 – MTCD and conformance monitoring are implemented,
documented and in operational use.
 ASP03 – The Safety assessment report including safety arguments
for the changes has been delivered to the NSA and a notification of
acceptance was received.
 MTCD and MONA implemented?
 Safety assessment done and accepted by NSA?
 Notification of acceptance received from NSA?
