  12. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) • In 2002 Establishment of EASA • The mission: • high, uniform level of civil aviation safety and environmental protection; • free movement of goods, persons and services; • cost efficiency in the regulatory and certification processes; • assisting Member States in fulfilling ICAO obligations; • promoting world-wide Community views Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  13. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) • In 2005, • 1st Extension of EASA Competencies submitted by the EC • Concerning: • Air Operations • Pilot Licensing Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  14. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) • In 2006, • 2nd Extension of EASA Competencies • Concerning: • Air Navigation • Airport Operations Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  15. The Single European Sky Initiative • Through its Regulations on • Organisation and Use of the Airspace • Provision of Air Navigation Services • Interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network • will provide the frame for the Airspace Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  16. The Single European Sky Initiative • While the new regulations on the airspace provide a more efficient system, the airports will become the real bottle-neck for aviation. Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  17. Single European Sky: SESAR Programme • SESAR aims to • Triple the European ATM Capacity • Improve Safety by a factor of 10 • Reduce Environmental Impact by 10% • Contribute €50 Billion to Economy Growth • Generate 200.000 Highly Qualified Jobs • SESAR Definition Phase, from 2005 to 2007, for 60 M€ • involves forty Companies Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  18. The Single European Sky Initiative • In order to increase the actual ‘runway’ capacity in Europe, there are three options: • enlarge, build new airports • better use of existing ones, including regional airport • improve the efficiency and management at existing airports Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  19. The Single European Sky Initiative • While • the first solution is very difficult to achieve due to costs and long-term planning, (enlarge/ build new airports) • the second is certainly being exploited wherever possible, but with certain conditions (regional airports) • the third one, if properly implemented, could be applied at any airport and, comparatively will be cost-effective and time-saving (improve efficiency & management) • So… Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  20. What can Research do in order to help Policy to establish effective regulations for a • safe, • efficient and • environmentally friendly • Air Traffic Management at airports? Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  22. Is the flight ended when the aircraft has landed? Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  23. Final Phases of Flight Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  24. RESEARCH AREAS Approach and Landing Operations Airports Air-side and Land-side Optimisation Airport Surface Operations Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  25. RESEARCH AREAS • Approach and Landing Operations • Integration of … • Arrival • Departure • Ground Movement • …planning systems Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  26. RESEARCH AREAS Approach and Landing Operations The results obtained from these activities provide the basis for an optimised flow of traffic but requires that all the functions are well coordinated Basis for all CDM applications Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006

  27. RESEARCH AREAS Airports Air-side and Land-side Optimisation Through the modelling of all the operations both by the air-side and by the land-side, we have created a user-friendly tool to assess the necessary developments and the impact of new installations Politecnico di Milano 19-20 Gennaio 2006
