VIGNETTE SMART SOLUTIONS FOR THE AVIATION OF TOMORROW ANNUAL REPORT 2016 LFV ANNUAL REPORT 2016 1 VIGNETTE LFV CONTROLS TRAFFIC IN THE AIR LFV is responsible for the efficiency and safety of flights in Swedish The example here airspace. LFV’s controllers provide follows a flight air navigation services for around between Stockholm 2,000 flights in Swedish airspace Arlanda Airport and Helsinki Airport. every day. The controller's task is to provide air navigation for pilots and to separate aircraft vertically and laterally so that they do not come too close to each other. They also ensure that flights become as efficient as possible in that aircraft fly the shortest possible route and do not need to wait in the air before landing. This is better for the environment and increases availability in the air. The flight plan for a flight is If the destination has Air navigation services is much more than air established at Euro- restrictions, for example due control in Brussels. traffic management. For everything to work, the to military exercises, the efforts of many employees are needed every day, flight plan is submitted three and it is necessary for the operational IT systems hours before take-off. The to deliver the large quantities of data required for flight will then have to take a flight and for air traffic management. another route. The airspace is the flight's infrastructure that can be likened to both railways and roads. There are airspace charts that have been designed 07:00 to function for the flight and that also take For LFV, the flight begins with into account geographical characteristics.

In short, LFV takes that contains all the facts responsibility for the charts in the air. about the flight needed by air traffic management. Every shift for an LFV controller starts by going through the day's conditions and current flights. Sitting in position means controlling and moni- toring traffic and being in contact with the pilots operating in Swedish airspace. Flights in the upper Swedish airspace are handled from the control centres in Stockholm and Malmö, while towers and the control centre for remote air traffic management handle the take- off and landing phases. 2 LFV ANNUAL REPORT 2016 VIGNETTE When controllers end their shift and hand over to a colleague, a summary is also made of what has happened during their time in position. Responsibility for a flight alternates between different controllers who are responsible for different sectors of the airspace. The flight is now at cruising altitude, around 10,000 metres. 08:20 The aircraft is now over the Baltic Sea halfway between the Swedish mainland and Åland. This is where the boundary of Swedish airspace is, and LFV's controller hands the aircraft over to the Finnish air traffic management.
