• Regional ATM deployment project aiming towards the creation of a Functional Air Block (FAB) in the South East Mediterranean area under the SES regulatory framework
• FABs represent one of the pillars of the implementation of the SES regulatory framework, and are expected to implement in a synchronized manner all SESAR deliveries
• Harmonize a large portion of the Mediterranean airspace joining the EU core area with the African and Middle-East borders
• State Level Agreement (SLA) signed on 12 October 2012, is the final step of the FAB establishment through the continuous
implementation of a number of operational
solutions and the deployment of identified
technical enablers

• Essential steps required for EGNOS based operations implementation in aviation in the Euromed countries:
Bilateral International Agreement
•Actors: State/EC
•This Agreement is aimed at clarifying the overall framework/provisions for the use of EGNOS SoL service in the non-EU country (such as the governance, financial and liability terms), and defining the regulatory (mutual recognition) aspects in the aviation domain
Working level Agreement
•Actors: ANSP/ESSP
•Formalization of operational/technical modalities in support to LPV introduction, including also the delivery of additional services (NOTAM proposals, Data recording, Collaborative Decision Making)
• Minimum regulatory baseline/set of
minimum operational requirements based on ICAO relevant documents (GNSS manual, PBN manual, Annex 10, Safety oversight manual) needed to start the process with EC and ESSP
• Gap analysis for each non-EU country and proposing recommendations/actions (ongoing)

identified the need for further guidance on GNSS monitoring, including details on the objectives, acceptable methodology, policy for the retention of data, reporting and notification process in case of anomaly.
• A Drafting Group was established to start preparing guidance material on GNSS monitoring.
• Participants: – USA – UK – Eurocontrol – EC – Canada – Netherlands – Russian Federation – Italy
– ICCAIA
– Germany
– Japan
– Australia
– Spain

Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
GMDG activities
• As first step, the GNSS Monitoring Drafting Group is preparing guidance
material on GNSS performance assessment and legal recording and will
propose amendments to relevant documentation.
• Activities:
– Definition of requirements for performance assessment and legal recording
– Definition of a common vocabulary and GNSS Monitoring concept
– Definition of Performance Assessment Methodology
– Identification of documentation impacted
• Since November 2013 several teleconferences have been held. Results will
be presented at next NSP (April 2015)
25 PBN and associated PANS-OPS Provisions Implementation
Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
States concerns
• Why GNSS Monitoring?
• What performance parameters need to be monitored for GPS and for the others constellations? and why?
• How to measure these parameters? Which density of stations is needed? What computation methodology? Which tools? How often performance reports are needed?
• Who should measure the parameters? States/NSAs, ANSPs, the core constellations service providers? International/regional organization?
• What to do if degradations/anomalies are measured?

28 PBN and associated PANS-OPS Provisions Implementation
Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
Proposal definition • GNSS performance assessment: is a periodic off-line activity
performed by a State, or delegated entity, aiming to demonstrate SIS conformance vs. Annex 10 relevant requirements, it can be done at system and/or application level.
• GNSS real-time monitoring: is an activity performed by a State, or
delegated entity, whose main objective is to provide information to technical staff and ATC services on the operational status of GNSS services in relation to a defined operation. – GNSS Interference Monitoring: is a real time monitoring sub activity
performed by a State, or delegated entity, whose main objective is to provide warning to technical staff and/or ATC services in case of detection of interferences on relevant GNSS band for a specific location.
• GNSS recording: is an activity performed by a State, or delegated entity, whose objective is to have GNSS status historical data to support post-incident/accident investigations. It could cover also the legal recording part depending on national regulations.

Performance Assessment Process
30 PBN and associated PANS-OPS Provisions Implementation
Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
Main outcomes [1/2] • Integrity is the most critical parameter, due to its link to safety. It is applicable and
measureable to the total system (including RAIM) and not to the core constellation itself. Different approaches for integrity are taken:
– For ABAS, integrity monitoring is done at airborne level with RAIM. Receivers that are certified in accordance with relevant international standards (e.g. MOPS, TSO series) have been designed to meet the integrity requirement defined in Table 3.7.2.4-1 of Annex 10 assuming GPS is compliant with key parameters defined in GPS SARPs Annex 10 and GPS SPS PS.
– For SBAS, integrity monitoring is done at ground segment level and the verification and assurance is given by the SBAS service provider.
– For GBAS a similar approach to SBAS is taken with responsibilities to national ANSP.
It is suggested that States do not have to implement monitoring capabilities for integrity since integrity is provided in real time by RAIM, SBAS or GBAS depending on the augmentation in use.

Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
Main outcomes [2/2]
• Availability, accuracy and continuity may have a different meanings (e.g. the meaning of continuity parameter for SIS performance requirements is different from the one defined for the SPS).
• Development of criteria (taking in account satellite geometry, tropospheric/ionospheric delay) for the determination of density of stations that can produce suitable performance reports and can be used for data recording

Observations
• Error components assigned to Space and Control Segments (error budget components assigned to the User Segment such as the atmosphere, multipath, and receiver noise).
• For some parameters the target “average location” is used for stations disseminated globally so sometimes could be more useful to refer to the worst case target only, depending on the geographical extension of the area considered and number of stations used for the performance computation.
PBN and associated PANS-OPS Provisions Implementation Workshop - Minsk - April 2015

Approach proposed
Today
• Use public reports provided by GNSS service providers or by other Organizations;
• Establish formal agreement with neighbouring State that is publishing performance reports and could cover the national interested area;
• Implement its own solutions in line with the guidelines provided in this document.
2020+
• Core constellation service providers to provide global periodic performance reports towards relevant SPS parameters identified in Annex 10 vol.I.
• Reports can be used by States in combination or substitution of what already implemented.
35 PBN and associated PANS-OPS Provisions Implementation
Workshop - Minsk - April 2015
Preliminary conclusions
• State Safety Oversight Function
• Ensure performances vs SARPS WHY?
• Significant core constellation parameters WHAT?
