Executive Summary

National ATM Context Slovak airspace is one of the most significant air corridors with most traffic flying in its western part. All five sectors were activated last year and we saw increased number of movements compared to the previous year. The ´average delay per one movement´ indicator was stable and ensured the flawless operation. The Slovak Republic as an EU member is applying all ATM regulations adopted by EU and related legal acts prepared by EASA. No important changes have occurred during the past year.

Traffic and Capacity Calculation of the Slovak capacity target is based on the latest STATFOR forecast of annual traffic growth and planned technical improvements of the ATM system. Delay targets correspond to an objective capacity increase during RP2

2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Value Value Value Value Value 0.10 0.10 0.10 0.11 0.10

Bratislava/M. R. ŠTEFÁNIK Airport has never experienced and is not expected to experience in the future ATFM arrival delay, therefore the national target is set to 0 min.

Implementation Objectives Overview Progress distribution for applicable Implementation Objectives

1; 3% 2; 7% Completed Ongoing 3; Planned 10% 10; 34% Late 4; 13% No Plan Not Applicable 10; 33% Missing Data Undefined

The level of ESSIP Objective implementation is adequate, many Objectives have been implemented in accordance to the ESSIP Plan, the others are planned to be implemented in time. There are some minor Objectives, which are either considered as not applicable or applicable with delay. The main reason for Not applicable Objectives is low traffic density, which does not justify an automation.

LSSIP Year 2016 Slovakia 1 Released Issue The justification for delay of three Objectives is below:

Implementation of the Objectives ITY-ADQ is late due to complexity of the Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010. The working group was established, which is preparing the methodology guidance on meeting the requirements of the ADQ Regulation, which shall act as a national methodology applicable in the area of civil aviation of the Slovak Republic. The web based application AIS Web Portal will be launched in Q3 2017.

With regard to objectives ITY-AGVCS2 activities related to extension of 8,33 channel spacing below FL 195 are in progress. Working group for safety case study has been established and Functional Hazard Assessment phase (FHA) has been finished. Next phase (PSSA) is envisaged to be completed in 2017. Stakeholders will be kept informed.

Fulfilment of ITY-AGDL objective has been incorporated into the specification of requirements on the E2000 system upgrade. The project for E2000 system upgrade has been postponed due to procurement issues.

Progress per SESAR Phase The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6.1.2 (PCP objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that three objectives – AOM19.1, FCM05 and NAV03 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the percentage of both phases. The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (up to, and including, ESSIP Edition 2011- 2015) are also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented by the State.

SESAR Baseline 2010 2019 Implementation 72%

Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) documents, as an integral part of the Master Plan (MP) Level 3 (L3) / LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the MP Level 3 and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. This LSSIP document describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2016, together with plans for the next years.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the State in various international organisations, the organisational structure of the main ATM players - civil and military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided;

Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at the agreed performance level;

Chapter 3 provides a set of recommendations extracted from the MP L3 Implementation Report 2015 which are relevant to the state/stakeholders concerned. The State reports how they have handled those recommendations and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those recommendations;

Chapter 4 provides the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the State per each project included in this chapter;

Chapter 5 deals with the ATM Regional Coordination. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and Projects and also all other regional initiatives and Projects which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the States concerned;

Chapter 6 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation, implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition the high- level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective is presented. The information for each Implementation Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.

Chapter 6.2 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of Implementation Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2016.

The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

5.1. FAB Co-ordination

Optimised ATM Network Services

 AOM19.1 - For the time being, only Hungary has a specific ASM support tool (LARA) in operation, Croatia to follow early 2017. All other FABCE ANSPs plan to deploy LARA or an equivalent system by the end of 2018. The real-time management of ASM information (AOM19.2 and AOM19.3) currently sees a variety of intentions, ranging from ‘no plan’ to ‘ongoing’.  FCM03 - The implementation of collaborative flight planning messages (APL, ACH, AFP) shows a heterogeneous status, whereas the weakest point turns out to be the full AFP implementation (‘no plan’ to ‘late’).  FCM04.1 - STAM Phase 1 is planned to go into operation at FABCE level on 27th of April 2017 (except SK, BiH). STAM Phase 2 (FCM04.2) is still under discussion.  FCM05 (interactive rolling NOP) - Implementation of interactive rolling NOP is planned through upgrades of the automated ASM support systems with the capability of AIXM 5.1 B2B data exchange with NM. The objective is considered to become part of a FABCE project.  FCM06 (TFC complexity assessment) - is tackled at FABCE level within the DAM/STAM study.

Advanced Air Traffic Services

 AOM 21.1/2 (DCT, Free Route Airspace) - forming part of a main FABCE project, Free Route Airspace is going to be deployed stepwise within and across FABCE borders. Two main cross- border initiatives have been implemented in 2016, respectively early 2017 at H24 basis: SAXFRA- SLO/AUT and SEENFRA - HUN/ROM/BUL. Besides that, national DCT implementations are already in force and are planned to be extended. Likewise, further cross- border FRA applications beyond FABCE are planned for implementation in 2018 (e.g. SECSI FRA, merging SAXFRA and Croatian+Serbian/Montenegrin Airspace. Moreover, a Gate One Free Route Airspace Operational Framework Study (GO FRA OF Study) has been identified to start off in 2017, including Baltic FAB, Danube FAB, FAB CE, SMATSA and M-NAV.  ATC07.1 (ATC15.1, ATC 15.2) - AMAN is considered as a regional project, but nevertheless, will include and affect the majority of the FABCE states. Planned for implementation by end 2018. Extended AMAN for Vienna is currently scheduled until 2023 at the latest.  ATC12.1 - Automated support for conflict detection, resolution support information and conformance monitoring: dependent on the national ATM system development, the MTCD function is considered a prerequisite for Free Route Airspace application. MTCD is already widely implemented; TCT is left to the ANSPs depending on local conditions.  ATC17 - Electronic Dialogue as automated assistance to controller during coordination and transfer: Having identified this objective as extremely beneficial for FRA application, the operational deployment is foreseen at those Units, which are capable do so and where relevant, by end 2018.

Functional integration of ASM/ATFCM processes / FAB CE-wide Study of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and STAM (FAB CE Project 3 / DAM/STAM Study) Organisation(s): ASP ANS CR (CZ), Austrocontrol (AT), BHANSA Type of project: FAB (BA), CCL Service Provider (HR), Hungarocontrol (HU), Letové prevádzkové služby Slovenskej republiky, štátny podnik (SK), Slovenia Control (SI) Schedule: Project 3: Start: 29.10.2010, End: 2016

DAM/STAM Study: Start: 7.2.2017, End: 31.12.2018 Status: Project 3 closed in 2016

Follow-on project 'DAM/STAM Study': Planned Currently under development, the CEF application is being finalised Description: The objective of Project 3 was to optimise the flow of air traffic and the management of airspace within FAB CE, taking into account the FAB CE airspace plan and ensuring consistency with the wider European network operations together with the assessment and implementation of the Rolling ASM/ATFCM Processes and STAM IDP/DM Activity Areas. The project achieved most of its original objectives and was closed in 2016.

Project 3 is being followed-up with the new 'FAB CE-wide Study of Dynamic Airspace Management (DAM) and STAM' Study Project. The main objective of the DAM/STAM study project is to obtain a key FAB CE high-level document that contains all relevant elements required for a consequent FAB CE wide implementation of DAM and STAM processes. As such the DAM /STAM final report can be seen as an implementation roadmap for all involved FAB CE ANSPs, a FAB CE ASM document that defines the high level operational concept for FAB CE DAM/STAM by describing the collaboration, processes, procedures and tools needed for later implementation.

The second main objective of the DAM/STAM study is to provide the involved ANSP with all required information necessary to plan for closing existing gaps to PCP /Deployment Plan on a local level. As a FAB CE wide assessment revealed gaps to the DP 2016 among the ANSP in all the related AF families, the DAM /STAM study is the FAB CE led activity to coordinate the closure of these remaining gaps.

Furthermore, it is a stated goal of the DAM/STAM study to describe and prepare the conditions required to allow for a FAB CE wide harmonization of ASM, FUA, DAM and STAM processes. The effect of this is seen to be FAB CE wide ASM that will allow to unlock the full operational benefits associated to FAB CE FRA implementation.

FAB CE Strategic Objectives: FSO5, target 5.1: Implement Free Route Airspace “Baseline scenario” FSO10, target 10.3: Incorporate actions supporting the SESAR deployment (Deployment Plan / Programme 2015) in the joint FAB CE planning process and planning documentation. Project included in RP2 N Name/Code in RP2 - Performance Plan: Performance Plan: Project included in N Name/Code in DP2016: CEF Application will be submitted as a part of DP2016: PCP under CEF2016 Call Performance contribution Safety: + The baseline assumption is that the potential implementation of GO FRA would be safety neutral or positive, i.e. the level of safety would not degrade due to the introduction of a large scale FRA OPS. Occurrences of SAF2, SAF3 and SAF4 KPI’s should not increase as a result of the Gate One – wide FRA application. The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA is expected to introduce improvements in system interoperability, procedures and potentially the use of ground based safety nets and monitoring aids expected to result in improvements to the overall safety in the impacted area. Environment: + The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA is expected to improve flight efficiency through the availability of user preferred routing and improved network connectivity between the participating FABs/states. Indicative flight efficiency (in time) assessments will be made through macro-level modelling and FTS exercises during Activities 3 and 4.

LSSIP Year 2016 Slovakia 39 Released Issue Capacity: + The baseline assumption is that the potential implementation of GO FRA would be capacity neutral or positive, i.e. the participating ANSPs capacities would not degrade (KPI CAP5) due to the introduction of a large scale FRA OPS. The introduction of multi-FAB/state FRA may increase the airspace capacity with the appropriate system support and sector configuration and capacity management procedures. However, this would need to be verified through local/FAB-level RTS simulations and/or live-trials during the potential implementation phase. Cost-efficiency: + Introduction of Gate One FRA is not expected to impact ANS Cost Efficiency KPI COS1. Impact on COS3 is expected to be negligible as ASNPs will be required to implement changes to their ATM systems for FRA compatibility regardless of GO FRA. Operational efficiency: + It is expected that the ATM functionalities required to support flight data sharing in a large-scale FRA environment will improve predictability but this will require validation on local/FAB-level.

The level of ESSIP Objective implementation is adequate, many Objectives have been implemented in accordance to the ESSIP Plan, the others are planned to be implemented in time. There are some minor Objectives, which are either considered as not applicable or applicable with short delay. The main reason for Not applicable Objectives is low traffic density, which does not justify an automation.

The justification for delay of three Objectives is below:

Implementation of the Objectives ITY-ADQ is late due to complexity of the Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010. The working group was established, which is preparing the methodology guidance on meeting the requirements of the ADQ Regulation, which shall act as a national methodology applicable in the area of civil aviation of the Slovak Republic. The web based application AIM Web Portal is planned to be launched in Q3 2017.

With regard to objectives ITY-AGVCS2 activities related to extension of 8,33 channel spacing below F 195 are in progress. Working group for safety case study has been established and is envisaged to be completed by 2016. Stakeholders will be kept informed.

Fulfilment of ITY-AGDL and ITY-COTR objectives has been incorporated into the specification of requirements on the E2000 system upgrade. The project for E2000 system upgrade has been postponed due to procurement issues.
