Executive Summary

National ATM Context

Georgia is committed to implement Single European Sky objectives both from regulatory or technical perspectives. Governmental Decree №2497 of December 26, 2014 defines the roadmap on the implementation of EC regulations stemming from Common Aviation Area Agreement (CAAA). TWINNING project II (Legal approximation of Georgian Civil Aviation Regulations with EU standards) has started in July 2015.

Georgian ANSP (SAKAERONAVIGATSIA) is in the process of upgrading its ATC system which is scheduled to be operational in 2017-2018.

Tbilisi airport operator TAV Urban LCC is running the project on the renovation of current runway in Tbilisi international airport which is scheduled to be finalised by the end of 2016.

Traffic and Capacity

Traffic in Georgia increased by 9.1 % during Summer 2015 (May to October), when compared to the same period during 2014.

The STATFOR medium-term forecast (MTF) predicts an average annual increase between 3.6% and 8.2%, with a baseline growth of 5.9% during the planning 2016-2020 cycle. Overall planned traffic and capacity increase will be mainly handled by means of introduction of Free Route airspace, ATFCM measures, optimisation and implementation of ATS route network, improved manpower utilisation and ongoing national PBN project focused on implementation of RNAV1 and APV LNAV/VNAV procedures.

ESSIP Objective Implementation


Implementation progress shown in 2015 has been achieved by improved coordination between stakeholders. Technical implementation of number of objectives that was carried out in previous years, were now followed by implementation of relevant procedures and training of personnel. This contributed to finalization of the respective objectives.

In addition, it has to be mentioned that after thorough examination and conducted study, some of the objectives proved to lack operational need, whereas another objective, which was initially not applicable for Georgia, had been challenged and respective project initiated by the end of 2015. This resulted in joining the applicability area of number of objectives.

For those objectives, which have the status ‘Late’ i.e. FCM01 and FCM03, challenge remains inability to exchange data with NM due to technical constraints of current ATC system, which is due to resolve by 2016-2017, once the new ATC system is put into operation.

As for the objective INFO04, status ‘Late’ is due to the lack of software upgrade, which is planned for 2016, which will enable full implementation of the integrated briefing.

Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2015 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2015.

The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organizations, the organizational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organization and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided in this chapter.

Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;

Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the ESSIP Report which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The state reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations;

Chapter 4 provides a set of the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the ATM MP OIs and/or Enablers and ESSIP related Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the states per each project included in this chapter;

Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the states concerned;

Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.

Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.

Note: The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

Capacity: Efficient and reliable obstacle data collection processes will enhance the overall situational awareness in respect of terrain or obstacle hazards and separation assurance, thereby contributing to or enabling informed decisions, and facilitating better use of available capacity (e.g. improved flight procedure design).

Safety: The availability of quality-assured electronic terrain and obstacle data will contribute to increased safety levels and performance in airborne and ground-based systems (e.g. EGPWS, MSAW, APM, SVS, A-SMGCS and Instrument Procedure Design).

Environment: The availability of more accurate digital terrain and obstacle data would potentially enable the design of more fuel effective and noise-reduced performance based approach procedures.

Cost-Efficiency: Operating costs will decrease with the "paperless cockpit" trend, leading to a reduction in printing costs and weight, A more accurate obstacle and terrain dataset will enable more plausible aircraft operating limitation analysis allowing the design of fuel-effective performance based navigation procedures as well as optimized engine maintenance cycles through more accurate take-off performance calculations.
