DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES AND STATISTICAL PRESENTATION

AIRCRAFT INFORMATION

SATMA will manage a data base of European RVSM certified aircraft. It is also required information of other aircraft that are not in that data base, for example:

• 
  Air Afrique
  
• 
  South African Airways (already received)
  

USAF

1. 
   occupancy prior to RVSM implementation
   
2. 
   post implementation assessment with data of two month
   

RVSM safety assessment

1. 
   monitoring data for Altimeter System Error (ASE);
   

3. 
   collect data on large Aircraft deviations (AAD) due to turbulence
   
4. 
   update occupancy estimates after RVSM, including crossing traffic;
   
5. 
   air navigation equipment data;
   
6. 
   data on large height deviation;
   
7. 
   update upper bonds for two allowable large deviation rates.
   

RNP 10/50 NM assessment

1. 
   update occupancy estimates after implementation;
   
2. 
   collect data on large deviations from track.
   

PORTUGAL/SPAIN MEETING FOR COORDINATION ON SAT/10 AGENDA

(Madrid, 7^th December 2001)

Taken into account that, due to the representatives agenda, Portugal cannot assist to the SAT/10 meeting scheduled for next December 10/13 at Dakar, and that there are some items on the SAT/10 agenda that can affect to the Lisbon and Santa María Oceanic ACC’s, an informal meeting was agreed between Portugal and Spain delegates so as to bring to the SAT/10 meeting the items related.
Under the agreed agenda the following items was considered:
1.- New western ATS route
The need and convenience of the new western ATS route was discussed with the following conclusions:

1. 
   The new route will follow the actual UN 742 from ABALO to a point to be defined at Brazil.
   

2. 
   According with the RNP10, this route will have a minimum lateral separation of 50NM with the ATS route UN741.
   

3. 
   Portugal will extend this ATS route to XERES (Lisbon /Madrid boundary).
   

4. 
   The traffic orientation will be Northbound for the new ATS route UN742 so as to maintain the Southbound flow for the UN741.
   

5. 
   Due to the traffic growth on the actual UN741 and the regulations on that route, it will be desirable to establish a calendar so as to publish the new ATS route before May 2002.
   

6. 
   It will be also desirable to avoid the even/odd flight levels change on that part of the FIR’s. For this reason Portugal support the Spain proposal for the South Atlantic flight levels allocation to be maintained on ODD southbound and EVEN northbound with the application of the RVSM.
   

--------------------------------------------

Traffic crossing the EUR/SAM corridor should flight plan to enter and exit the EUR/SAM corridor RVSM airspace at the following published points: ……….. The estimates time over each point must be insert at the item 18 of flight plan.

As announced in the respectives AICs and AIP AMDTs of Spain, Cape Verde, Senegal and Brazil, the application of RVSM along the EUR/SAM corridor will begun on January 24^th 2002 at 00:01 UTC.
