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 2019, 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, it gives an overview of the Airspace Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units;

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 also presents 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 the main Implementation Projects (at national, FAB and multinational level) which contribute directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation Objectives. The Level 1 document covers a high-level list of the projects showing the applicable links. All other details like description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas provided by the State per each project are available in the Level 2 document;

Chapter 4 deals with other cooperation activities beyond Implementation Projects. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation, as well as all other multinational initiatives, 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 5 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation, implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition, it provides the high-level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective. 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.

The Level 1 document 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 (REG, ASP, MIL and APO) to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2019. In addition, it covers a detailed description of the Implementation Projects for the State as extracted from the LSSIP Data Base.

The information contained in Chapter 5 – Implementation Objectives Progress is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

1. Airspace management (ASM):

ASM in Cyprus comprises of two major pillars, the FUA and the ATFCM function. The FUA application is regulated via a Ministerial committee composed of Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and applied via the Airspace Management Cell (AMC). All three FUA levels are applied. The ATFCM function is performed by the Flow Management Unit at Nicosia ACC. Both FUA and ATFCM functions are inputs to the operations in the ACC via sector configuration and capacity management. The AMC produces the Airspace Usage Plan (AUP) utilizing the EUROCONTROL CIAM tool.

2. Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM):

Performed at Nicosia ACC via a dedicated function. System used is the NMOC CHMI for the FMP.

3. Air Traffic Control System:

System used is the THALES TopSky-C system, which has become operational in October 2013. The system comprises of a THALES Multi Radar Tracker (MRT), a THALES Flight Data Processor (FDP) and a THALES HMI.

4. Communications:

G/A communications via VHF/UHF Tx/Rx at various sites in Cyprus. G/G communications via normal telephone lines. No datalink employed yet.

5. Navigation:

Aircraft navigation via the AWYs network (RNP5). No free route airspace provided yet. The two local aerodromes rely on conventional SID/STARs based on VOR/DMW. The design of new PBN procedures has been initiated in cooperation with ICAO and Israel.

6. Surveillance systems:

The surveillance function of the DCAC is served by a network of both PSR and SSR radars that are combined (through the MRT) to provide a radar picture at Nicosia ACC. The application of ADSB is being evaluated under the CRISTAL Med project currently ongoing.

7. Aeronautical Information Services:

AIS is primarily using the European AIS Database (EAD) for the origination and the dissemination of information.

8. Meteorological Information:

Meteorological info is disseminated via the AFTN to the ATC units. The information is fed into a digital VOLMET serving Nicosia FIR and a D-ATIS serving the two local aerodromes.

Airports

General information

The two international airports of the Republic of Cyprus are Larnaca (LCLK) and Paphos (LCPH). Both are state owned, but operated by an international consortium Hermes Airports Ltd under a 25 years Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession agreement with the Republic of Cyprus. ATC is provided by the DCAC. Up to the time after which the management of the airports was granted to the company Hermes (12/05/2006), the Department of Civil Aviation was responsible for their operation. In light of the new state of play, the Department’s role has been modified, and it now has a supervisory role in matters concerning Civil Aviation (Security) and licensing/certification of airports in accordance with Annex 14 (Aerodromes) of the Chicago Convention. The size of the two terminal buildings is such that with respect to passenger convenience, and according to the specifications of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the level of service provided is B and C, for Larnaca and Paphos respectively.

Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP

The airports covered by this LSSIP document are Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport. The EUROCONTROL Public Airport Corner also provides information for these airport(s): https://ext.eurocontrol.int/airport_corner_public/LCLK

Military Authorities

The operation of the Armed Forces in the Republic of Cyprus is governed by the “ Law” (1964-2003) and the executive power is exercised by the Minister of Defence. The Chief of the National Guard is accountable to the Minister of Defence for the general command and supervision of the National Guard, its organization, training, readiness, discipline and order within, and he is also accountable to the Minister of Defence for all equipment provided to the National Guard and for carrying out the orders of the Minister of Defence or the Council of Ministers. The Commander of the Air Force Command is accountable directly to the Chief of the National Guard. Under the authority of the Air Force Command are the, Military Air Control Centre (MACC), the Early Warning Radar squadrons, the Air-Defence Units and the Aircraft Squadrons. In addition to the above, a Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) is manned and operated by personnel of the Ministry of Defence.

Airspace and Control The Republic of Cyprus is included among those countries where the MACC does not have an ATM function hence it does not provide ATS to either civil or military aircraft flying as GAT. Air Traffic Management is provided by the DCAC. Military flights are generally conducted below FL 195. In some cases, military flights are conducted over FL 195, in Temporary Reserved Areas, within the Nicosia FIR. These areas are reserved in accordance with ICAO regulations and in cooperation with the DCAC. Military authorities control or provide information, with simultaneous notification and coordination with the civil ATS providers (Larnaca - Paphos Towers and Nicosia ACC), to their own aircraft in the following cases: When the aircraft fly operationally (OAT): - Within predefined and limited time reserved areas of airspace. These areas are reserved for specific purposes and operational reasons and after cooperation with the DCAC for the release of the relevant NOTAMs; - When the JRCC is conducting SAR operations within the Nicosia FIR. The surveillance of airspace for Security and Defence purposes is conducted by the Air Force Command. For the time being, there is no military commitment for implementing ESARRs. However, additional theoretical training relevant to air traffic control services is provided to military personnel by the DCAC.

These SESAR Solutions are not included yet in the ATM MP L3 Plan. EUROCONTROL is tasked by the SJU to identify the implementation progress of functionalities corresponding to validated SESAR Solutions published in the SJU Solutions Catalogue (https://www.sesarju.eu/newsroom/brochures- publications/sesar-solutions-catalogue), for which there is no implementation Objective (yet) in the ATM MP L3 Plan. This will allow to identify early movers and to gauge the interest generated by some of these functionalities, with the view of potentially addressing them with new Implementation Objectives in the ATM MPL3 Plan. A facilitated questionnaire using the existing ATM MP L3 / LSSIP methodology is added to capture information on non- committed SESAR solutions. For practical reasons, since the LSSIP 2017 cycle the questionnaire is included in the LSSIP Annex.

It also includes the access to this application service for end users, through the Tower CWP for the ATCO and through the aircraft DCDU for the flight crew. In low visibility conditions, the tower controller working positions are provided with Virtual Stop Bars (VSB) to improve low visibility operations and enhance Virtual block controllers’ situational awareness. control in low Virtual Stop Bars can be used by the No (need) plan at the #48 visibility controller to reduce block-sizes once N procedures procedural control applies. Additional moment (LVPs) controller safety nets will be available to indicate violations of Stop Bars (including Virtual Stop Bars) and to monitor aircraft for any kind of unauthorised movement (Watch Dog).

LSSIP Year 2019 Cyprus- Level 1 65 Released Issue Are there implementation plans in Has the SESAR your State for the SESAR Solution been Solution? (Y-N-N/A) SESAR SESAR implemented in - If “Yes” please report Solution Solution Solution Description your State? (Y-N) when and where Code Title - if “Yes” please implementation is report where planned - If “N/A” please provide justification The solution increases the accuracy of information related to when the procedure is going to take place, how long it will take and when the aircraft will be ready to taxi for departure, which is currently calculated by predetermined estimates. The solution means that air traffic controllers no longer need to work without situational awareness of de-icing activities and needing to make their own estimates of when aircraft are ready for departure. The solution envisages that de-icing operations are no longer characterised by the A-CDM concept as ‘adverse conditions’, i.e. a state that is in need of collaborative recovery procedures, De-icing but rather a part of normal operations in the No (need) plan at the #116 management winter period. N

tool moment The DIMT allows for the scheduling and monitoring of de-icing operations. It is an internet browser-based tool that addresses three distinct procedures for de-icing:

- Remote de-icing, which occurs at a specific location on the airport away from the parking stand;

- On-stand de-icing, which occurs just before the aircraft leaves its stand;

The objective is to provide operational credit in approach as permitted per EASA EU 965/2012 and its coming amendments (NPA 2018-06 AWO) to face to Low visibility conditions.

Enabling EFVS operations with operational credits provides a greater availability of suitable destination and alternate aerodromes during periods of reduced visibility.

This effectively reduces the number of weather-related delays, cancellations or diversions of flights to CAT II/III aerodromes, permits shorter routings and Reducing reduced fuel costs, a faster return to Landing scheduled operations, and less passenger Minima in inconveniences. Low Visibility Conditions A unique advantage of the EFVS on board No (need) plan at the #117 N using solution is that it is mainly supported by the moment Enhanced aircraft system instead of airports and the Flight Vision need of complex and costly ground Systems infrastructures as those implemented in (EFVS) CATII/III airports.

From a global ATM network standpoint, the EFVS operation allows to retain traffic at most of secondary aerodromes by providing operational credit at most of runway ends with precision or non-precision landing minima (LPV, LNAV/ VNAV, ILS CAT1,…). The operational credit provided by EFVS is particularly important regarding secondary aerodromes because they usually have CAT1 or higher than CAT 1 RVR ¿ DA/DH minima and are therefore potentially more frequently impacted by adverse weather conditions.

In addition, EFVS capability is a key operational advantage more especially for the business aviation community that is mainly composed of small/ medium operators with limited resources and operating frequently at small/ medium airports.

Advanced Air Traffic Services

The CTA (Controlled Time of Arrival) is an ATM imposed time constraint on a defined point associated with an arrival runway, Controlled using airborne capabilities to improve time of arrival arrival management. When a time (CTA) in constraint is needed for a flight, the ground medium- system may calculate a CTA as part of the No (need) plan at the #06 N density/ arrival management process, and then it moment medium- may be proposed to the flight for complexity achievement by avionics within required environments accuracy. Airborne information may be used by the ground system in determining the CTA (e.g. ETA min/max) and in monitoring the implementation of the CTA. The system provides support to coordination of traffic flows into multiple airports to enable a smooth delivery to the runways. The 'Center Manager' (CMAN) which accompanies the AMANs of the airports generates a combined planning for several arrival streams into different Arrival airports by calculating the sequence of management No (need) plan at the #08 aircraft flying towards an area where their N into multiple routes intersect. By imposing an adequate moment airports spacing of the aircraft in that area, a Time To Lose (TTL) for the appropriate upstream E-TMA sector is calculated to meet this constraint. Both AMAN-TTL for the runway and TTL for the E-TMA sector are superimposed and presented to the upstream en-route sector controllers.

Enhanced New altitude capture laws aim to reduce airborne unnecessary ACAS alarms and reduce the collision risk of mid-air or near mid-air collisions avoidance between aircraft as a last-resort safety net, No (need) plan at the #105 system (ACAS) by automatically reducing the vertical rate N operations at the approach of the selected flight level moment using the (only when a Traffic Advisories-TA occurs), autoflight leading to less traffic perturbation, while system not increasing flight crew workload. This new procedure design builds upon precision navigation technology (P-RNAV Point merge concept) for merging traffic into a single in complex No (need) plan at the #107 entry point, which allows efficient N terminal integration and sequencing of inbound moment airspace traffic together with Continuous Descent Approaches (CDA). Point Merge in high density environment and complex Extended TMA (E-TMA) Arrival sectors replaces radar vectoring with a Management No (need) plan at the #108 more efficient and simplified traffic N (AMAN) and synchronisation mechanism that reduces moment Point Merge communication workload and increases collective traffic predictability. The basic Extended ATC Planner aims at bridging the gap between Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) providing real-time and fine-tuning measures to solve ATFCM hotspots, and to perform early measures to alleviate complexity closest to ATC activities.

The solution consists of an automated tool Basic EAP and associated procedures supporting the (Extended basic communication between the Local No (need) plan at the #118 N ATC Planning) DCB position and the Controllers' Work moment function Positions allowing the EAP and the ATC team in identifying, assessing and resolving local complexity situations. The basic EAP relies on a real time integrated process for managing the complexity of the traffic with capability to reduce traffic peaks through early implementation of fine-tuned solutions to solve workload imbalances at the local level, compatible with the short- term timeframe of execution phase of the flights.

Enabling Aviation Infrastructure

Europe’s vision to achieve high-performing aviation by 2035 builds on the idea of trajectory-based operations – meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectory while minimising constraints due to AOC data airspace and service configurations. SESAR increasing has introduced an early version, which No (need) plan at the #67 trajectory N makes use of flight planning data sourced prediction moment from airline operational control (AOC) to accuracy help controllers optimise aircraft flight paths. This solution represents an initial step towards the extended flight plan solution and flight and flow information for a collaborative environment (FF-ICE). The ACAS provides resolution advisories (RAs) to pilots in order to avoid collisions. Controllers rely on pilots to report RAs by radio as they occur in accordance with ICAO ACAS Ground regulations. However these reports can Monitoring come late, incomplete or are, absent in No (need) plan at the #100 and N some instances. This solution consists of a Presentation moment set of monitoring stations and a server System system, which enable the continuous monitoring and analysis of ACAS RAs and coordination messages between airborne units from the ground. This solution consists of an enhanced TCAS capability, adding passive surveillance Extended methods and reducing the need for active No (need) plan at the #101 hybrid Mode-S interrogations. By making fewer N surveillance active interrogations, this solution allows moment the aircraft to significantly reduce the usage of the 1090 MHz frequency.

The Iris Precursor offers a viable option for ATS datalink using existing satellite Air traffic technology systems to support initial four- services (ATS) dimensional (i4D) datalink capability. The No (need) plan at the #109 N datalink using technology can be used to provide end-to- moment Iris Precursor end air–ground communications for i4D operations, connecting aircraft and air traffic management ground systems. The SESAR solution consists of the ADS-B ground station and the surveillance data processing and distribution (SDPD) functionality. The solution also offers mitigation techniques against deliberate ADS-B spoofing of the ground system by outside surveillance of agents. These techniques can also be used No (need) plan at the #110 aircraft in to cope with malfunctioning of avionics N flight and on equipment. SESAR has contributed to the moment the surface relevant standards, such as EUROCAE technical specifications, incorporating new functionalities developed for the ADS-B ground station, ASTERIX interface specifications as well as to the SDPD specifications. By allowing the use of ADS-B data that has been validated against data derived in parallel by a WAM system, the system can help to reduce the number of interrogations and number of replies and therefore reduce Composite the 1030/1090 MHz RF load and improve No (need) plan at the #114 Surveillance spectrum efficiency. It achieves this through N ADS-B / WAM the integration of validated data items into moment the WAM channel, thereby preventing a need to re-interrogate the data item. Since the two surveillance layers share hardware components, the system offers improved cost efficiency. Furthermore, the
