  1. Farnborough Airspace Change Proposal Briefing to FACC 7th March 2013

  2. Today’s update will include - • Reminder of the aims of the project • Outline of the process being followed • Outline of activities and dates • Summary of activities since last FACC update • Summary of engagement meetings held to date • Key issues and points of note • Next steps Slide 2 6

  3. Aims of the project In line with the TAG Farnborough Airport’s 2009 Master Plan, it is undertaking an airspace change to provide the airport with a more predictable and efficient airspace environment Improved airspace efficiency Advanced navigation systems will enable high-precision, optimal approach and departure procedures. Aircraft will remain at higher altitudes for longer and spend less time in the air Environmental benefits Reduced track miles will be flown with more predictable and efficient flight paths Improvements in efficiency would result in: reductions in fuel usage, emissions (including CO2) and noise around the airport. For example, planned early left turn off runway 24 to fly over military area. Safety benefits By changing to a new airspace environment, which includes elements of controlled airspace, the airport will be able to create a known and more predictable environment Slide 3

  4. What is the process? The process to be followed is outlined in CAA publication CAP725 and contains a number of phases: Phase 1 Framework briefing Phase 2 Proposal development Phase 3 Preparing for consultation Phase 4 Consultation and formal proposal submission Phase 5 Regulatory decision (Feb 2014) Phase 6 Implementation Phase 7 Operational review Slide 4 5

  5. Activities Project start June 2012 Initial design options and parameters Aug 2012 Pre-consultation with key aviation stakeholders Oct 2012 Detailed design options and concept of operations Aug 2013 Formal consultation process Aug 2013 Final submission to DAP Oct 2013 DAP decision Feb 2014 Slide 5 6

  6. Summary of activities since last FACC update Project planning and setting up of stakeholder requirements system Pre-consultation engagement with key aviation stakeholders Determining stakeholder requirements and options Design development – at least 18 versions worked on Pilot workshop for TAG Farnborough operators Internal NATS workshops with multiple stakeholders Concept of operations work Framework briefing with DAP Co-ordination with LAMP, Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton Slide 6 2

  8. Key issues and points of note Airspace is very restricted both vertically and horizontally The current environment is less able to efficiently support a predictable and structured arrival and departure environment required to maintain an efficient operation as the number of ATMs increase Lack of predictability is a concern for local operators Farnborough ATC currently make significant concessions with TAG Farnborough traffic in order to facilitate GA and other operators There are huge complexities in how any airspace and procedure changes will integrate into the future London airspace strategy But also huge benefits in moving towards a more predictable and sustainable use of the available airspace Slide 8 2

  9. Key issues and points of note Stakeholder engagement is proving vital in helping us develop airspace and procedure options Capturing requirements from other airspace users has helped us to consider many options Each option or change impacts upon aviation stakeholders including Heathrow, Gatwick, TC ops, Swanwick, LAMP and many others There are understandable concerns amongst some aviation stakeholders who currently enjoy considerable operational freedoms Slide 9 2

  10. Next steps • March • pre-consultation engagement meetings continue and expand NATS Defence NATS Safety BGA British Balloon and Airship Club British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association British Parachute Association Helicopter Club of Great Britain PPL/IR Europe Royal Aero Club Popham Blink

  11. Next steps • March • pre-consultation engagement meetings continue and expand • design options are narrowed down • concept of operations and safety-related work continues • discussions with DAP on technical issues relating to PBN procedures continue

  12. Next steps • April • Preliminary simulation of high level design options and concepts such as PBN procedures • Workshop/meeting with FACC to examine arrival and departure routes close to the airport
