Executive Summary
National ATM Context
Member State of:
National ATM Context
Local air traffic flow management solutions developed by the LGS together with the main airspace users contributed significantly to the reduction of airport Terminal delays in comparison to the 2018. Although, on average the capacity targets have been achieved during past years, new focused solutions are more effective and time saving from airspace user perspective, considering continuing increase in air traffic in comparison to 2018 (3.27%).
In order to ensure continuous high quality air traffic services, in 2019 LGS continued training of the new ATCOs.
Based on the Airport Council International data, the largest air hub in the Baltics airport “Riga” International Airport continued to see the increase in aircraft movements (4.2%) and passengers, resulting as the fifth fastest growing airport in the 3rd quarter of 2019 in Europe in the group of airports serving 7 to 15 million passengers per year. In addition, this increase was performed with one of the highest punctuality rate for the airports of 88.71%.
A significant evolution in 2019 was the establishment of Military Aviation Administration. Sharing of the experience and best practice between the CAA of Latvia and the MAA of Latvia is ongoing for staff training and oversight purposes.
Recognizing the many challenges for safe integration of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) into daily airspace operations, CAA of Latvia with the support of EUROCONTROL performed a unique Riga airport CTR assessment in 2019. The assessment involved many governmental and non-governmental institutions, aviation and non-aviation stakeholders. The results of the assessment provide foundation for further steps to be taken to ensure safe RPAS integration into airspace, especially considering IR 2019/947 requirements for establishing designated various types of RPAS operating or RPAS prohibiting airspace volumes.
Main national stakeholders: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) State Joint Stock Company “Latvijas gaisa satiksme” Military Aviation Administration Air Force of Republic of Latvia Airport “Riga”

FAB Co-ordination
SMS Harmonisation SMS Harmonisation project was initiated in 2016 with pilot study to specify the concrete proposals, risks and mitigation for areas of possible harmonisation on short and long term. The overall objective of the SMS Harmonisation is to provide the appropriate support to: - improve the total efficiency of the Safety Management Systems, - enable SMS functionalities and processes supporting cross border services, - enable for improved cost efficiency, - enable for future integration of SMS functionalities and processes. The further harmonization process is being aligned with the implementation of the Commission IR (EU) 2017/373.
The NEFAB SMS harmonization is considered to support the FAB-wide safety data exchange, aimed at systematic safety data sharing, processing and disseminating between FAB partners.
NEFAB NAV strategy Based on the NEFAB ANSPs’ 5-year strategy, the NEFAB NAV domain mapping was done in 2018, including: - the brief description of developments and timeline in the national NAV domains; - the status of national Navigation Strategies and PBN Implementation Plans; - the estimate on possible areas of cooperation/coordination on FAB level. The NEFAB Finance and Performance Committee agreed to include harmonisation of CNS/NAV strategies into the NEFAB Strategy Implementation Plan and to recommend the States taking leading role in drafting national NAV strategies and implementing PBN, also governing the implementation in cooperation between all stakeholders.
Multinational cooperation initiatives
Borealis FRA The Borealis Alliance is an industrial partnership between 9 European ANSPs - LFV (Sweden), ANS Finland (Finland), Avinor (Norway), ISAVIA (Iceland), Naviair (Denmark), EANS (Estonia), IAA (Ireland), LGS (Latvia) and NATS (UK). The objective of the Alliance is to enable joint initiatives to improve flight efficiency and reduce environmental impact, delivered across the whole area in a move which will also streamline cost of services and operational/technical infrastructure. In 2015 the Borealis Alliance initiated the Free Route Airspace (FRA) Programme to create a multi-FAB FRA through the establishment of interfaces between FRA areas in 3 FABs (NEFAB, DK-SE FAB and UK-IRL FAB) and Iceland. The Borealis FRA concept of operation is based on the NEFRA concept, i.e. to connect the FRA volumes of 9 States seamlessly, so that these appear as one continuous FRA to airspace users. In 2019 the Borealis Alliance commenced cross-border FRA between the Maastricht UAC area of responsibility, the DK/SE FAB and the northern part of Germany; and remains open to considering other cross-border proposals should they arise.

D. SESAR Solutions implemented in a voluntary way3
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.

Use of data link communications between the Tower Controllers and the flight crew D-TAXI service during surface movement. It is based on for controller- the D-TAXI service from the CPDLC pilot datalink application, as standardised by RTCA #23 N No plan communicatio SC214/EUROCAE WG78 (DO-350 & DO- ns (CPDLC) 351). 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 #48 visibility controller to reduce block-sizes once N No plan procedures procedural control applies. Additional (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).

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 De-icing need of collaborative recovery #116 management N No plan procedures, but rather a part of normal tool operations in the winter period. 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 11specific location on the airport away 11from the parking stand; - On-stand de-icing, which occurs just 11before the aircraft leaves its stand; and - After-push de-icing, which occurs after 11the aircraft has pushed back from the 11stand and is positioned to start taxiing 11after de-icing. The SESAR Solution “Reducing landing minima in low visibility conditions using enhanced Flight vision systems (EFVS)” is intended for flight crews, and corresponds to the use of EFVS visual based technologies displayed in HUD or Reducing an equivalent display system. The Landing objective is to provide operational credit Minima in in approach as permitted per EASA EU Low Visibility 965/2012 and its coming amendments Conditions (NPA 2018-06 AWO) to face to Low #117 using visibility conditions. Enhanced Flight Vision Enabling EFVS operations with Systems operational credits provides a greater (EFVS) 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

A unique advantage of the EFVS on board solution is that it is mainly supported by the aircraft system instead of airports and the need of complex and costly ground infrastructures as those implemented in 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. Beyond operational credit, the Vision Systems such as the EFVS improves situational awareness in all weather conditions for all operators at all airports contributing supporting decision-making and increasing safety margin all the time.
Advanced Air Traffic Services
The CTA (Controlled Time of Arrival) is an Controlled ATM imposed time constraint on a time of arrival defined point associated with an arrival (CTA) in runway, using airborne capabilities to medium- #06 improve arrival management. When a N No plan density/ time constraint is needed for a flight, the medium- ground system may calculate a CTA as complexity part of the arrival management process, environments and then it may be proposed to the flight

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 Arrival different airports by calculating the management sequence of aircraft flying towards an #08 N No plan into multiple area where their routes intersect. By airports imposing an adequate 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.

Point Merge in high density environment and complex Extended TMA (E-TMA) Arrival sectors replaces radar vectoring with a Management #108 more efficient and simplified traffic NA (AMAN) and synchronisation mechanism that reduces 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 and associated procedures Basic EAP supporting the basic communication (Extended #118 between the Local DCB position and the ATC Planning) Controllers' Work Positions allowing the function 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 AOC data constraints due to airspace and service increasing configurations. SESAR has introduced an #67 trajectory early version, which makes use of flight N No plan prediction planning data sourced from airline accuracy operational control (AOC) to 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 ACAS Ground ICAO regulations. However these reports Monitoring can come late, incomplete or are, absent #100 and N No plan in some instances. This solution consists Presentation of a set of monitoring stations and a System server 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 methods and reducing the Extended need for active Mode-S interrogations. By #101 hybrid N No plan making fewer active interrogations, this surveillance solution allows the aircraft to significantly reduce the usage of the 1090 MHz frequency. The aeronautical mobile airport communication system (AeroMACS) offers a solution to offload the saturated VHF datalink communications in the airport environment and support new services. The technical solution Aeronautical AeroMACS is based on commercial 4G mobile airport technology and uses the IEEE 802.16 #102 communi- N No plan (WiMAX) standard. Designed to operate cation system in reserved (aeronautical) frequency (AeroMACS) bands, AeroMACS can be used for ANSPs, airspace users and airport authority communications, in compliance with SESAR’s future communication infrastructure (FCI) concept.

SESAR has contributed to the be considered 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 the 1030/1090 MHz RF load and improve spectrum efficiency. It achieves this through the integration of validated data items into the WAM channel, thereby preventing a need to re- Composite interrogate the data item. #114 Surveillance Since the two surveillance layers share ADS-B / WAM hardware components, the system offers improved cost efficiency. Furthermore, the use of the system contributes to an improved security by successfully mitigating associated ADS-B threats. SESAR has contributed to the relevant standards, such as EUROCAE technical specifications for WAM and ADS-B that are implementing this “composite” concept.
