The Network Manager

Main role is to: optimise Aviation Network’s performance;

ensure that European ATM meets the performance targets set by EC for SES

enable and deliver added operational performance (capacity, delay reduction, environment, flight efficiency, minimum emissions, ops safety, cost-effectiveness) to European operations through defined functions and services

Eurocontrol nominated SES network manager function in July 2011

3

Network Manager 2 1/2 years on

Learnt to walk, starting to run

ATM partner to ANSPs (and eventually FABs), airports, civil & military airspace users

All about added value and added performance of pan-European network

A success story of SES, our functions are being audited, reviewed and updated

Feedback of the operational stakeholders important to ensure that we remain relevant to you (customer survey results available)

4

Network Manager - in the future!

More influence on network issues, even if they have local impacts

Counterpart to ANSPs in delivering best possible network

performance

Network services, today overseen by EASA, tomorrow certified by

EASA

Clarity of role vis a vis future deployment manager

Review governance and financing

5

Looking ahead 2015-2019

Preparation for next 5-year period has started

We will have accountability for network wide delay and flight efficiency targets

We aim to contribute added value to pan-European performance of 10% delay reduction and 10% flight efficiency improvement

We have a network strategy, we have a strategic investment plan, we plan for improvements to deliver NM functions, we are part of an overall network operations plan which includes all ACCs and nearly 50 airports

New OPS Concepts for European Network

Free route airspace

4D trajectory knowledge and sharing

Different way to do flow management, target time over (TTO), rather

than departure slots

Requiring extensive data sharing and underpinned by robust ops

safety assurance

7

Network concept of operations

2020 Concept of operations needed to:

Link 1st set of SESAR deliverables which are in the first Pilot Common Project

Ensure different ATM functionalities improvements are compatible

Plan investment

Ensure coordination between local, regional and network developments

What Airspace Users will get from the Network Concept of Operations by 2020…… to achieve predictability, punctuality, safety and service continuity

9

In simple terms

Free route above FL310 at all times

Efficient access into/out of airports using tightly managed Airspace structures serving TMAs using PBN capabilities

Dynamic FUA procedures and airspace data exchange

Network operations integrated thro’ cooperative traffic management incl entry/exit times for airspace volumes

System wide information sharing of dynamic ATM information serving all ops user needs, delivered in the most cost effective ways

Network Strategy Plan

Formalised road map for network evolution

Vision, strategic objectives, high level plan of the main actions and projects which provide the perfomance needed for SES performance framework

Consistent with European ATM Master Plan

To be agreed at NMB and SSC and adopted by EC

Allows project structure to be set up to drive for concrete implementation

Network Strategy Plan 2014-2019

roadmap to delivering performance in next 5 years

common network concept of operations

key for aligning our efforts and investments in RP2

complementary to the FAB & local Performance Plans to be

accepted by EC prior to start of RP2
