Acac cns/atm study Update & Strategic Planning Supplemental Data Collection Questionnaire Project Manager

Purpose

The Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and aviation authorities have developed strategic plans to address the growing needs. There are, however, substantial challenges in being able to accommodate effectively the anticipated aviation growth and expectations of its stakeholders. Some areas of the current regional ATM system are already experiencing extended periods of airborne holding or ground departure delays. There is a need to increase airspace capacity, provide increased access to airports, improve efficiency for both aviation system customers and ANSPs and reduce environmental impacts while continuing to maintain, foster, and promote safety. Specific objectives include:

1. 
   Increase airspace capacity to meet future demand requirements
   
2. 
   Increase access to airports
   
3. 
   Improve airspace safety and efficiency
   
4. 
   Reduce environmental impact of increasing traffic by providing improved ATM operations
   
5. 
   Improve interoperability between ANSPs to foster seamless services across borders
   

As a result, the Arab Civil Aviation Commission (ACAC) launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new study that obtains an update to a similar previous effort from 2005.

The questions in this supplemental questionnaire and the previously submitted initial questionnaire collect data in support development of an ATM Study addressing near-term and strategic ATM needs and requirements in the Middle East and North Africa. The principal study rationale and mutual benefits are as follows:

• 
  This region spread over the Middle East and North Africa has one of the highest air traffic growths in the world with projections for sustained growth.
  
• 
  Some nations are already experiencing greater aircraft activity levels than ATM capabilities and airspace route structures can and will be able to support.
  
• 
  Legacy operational agreements and procedures between nations lack the ability to prevent oversaturating ATM capabilities of adjacent nation ATM facilities.
  
• 
  Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) to assist in managing imbalance between demand and available capacity will be significantly more effective in a larger and coordinated regional application.
  
• 
  With no immediate actions, the region is due to have numerous bottlenecks that will have immediate effect on aviation growth, economic growth, safety, and the environment.
  

This ATM Study Update intends to collect and aggregate data and trends that would be used to develop both near-term requirements and longer term strategic needs by ACAC to formulate a master plan for regional air navigation service provision through 2030.

The study update participants include the ACAC member states (Table ) and (Figure ) which will define the overall data collection area depicted in (Figure ).

Survey Outline

The supplemental questionnaire is divided into 15 core data collection categories (Table ) and 1 optional category. The core categories reflect those operational and management categories that will provide the data that will become the focus of the ACAC CNS/ATM Study Update & Strategic Planning. One optional category allows the individual FIR respondent to include any additional information that would support the advancement of this project.

Each question is identified by its category and question number. This format will assist in the data compilation, and support the development of a reusable database. Each category has an option for the responder to add any additional information that could be relevant to this effort.
