Executive Summary

National ATM Context Year 2014 marks a significant year for the Ministry of Communication and Works and subsequently for the Department of Civil Aviation as the decision to privatise the provision of Air Navigation Services has been endorsed. The project that was awarded to EUROCONTROL aims to the creation of a State owned enterprise for providing ANS. The decision aims at the facilitation of the ANS provider with more flexibility in order to increase competitiveness and compliance levels with the increasing European requirements. The reorganization of the ANSP will be followed by a reorganization of the regulatory context with the transformation of the DCAC into a well balance regulator. The State economic situation, along with the heavy austerity measures, remains unchanged for the referenced year which again affected both budgeting and the staffing levels of the ANSP. In 2014 the welcomed the final implementation phase of the new ATM system (“TopSky-ATC”) project in the ACC Based on the operation of the new system a relatively good level of compliance with EU requirements is achieved. The level of delays for 2014 has remained relatively high due to various reasons. The State acted proactively on the issue, and for 2014, it allowed the implementation of a performance scheme for ANS personnel as a reacting mitigation to the summer delay forecasts. This scheme has resulted in bearable delays provided that the increase in the traffic load for Cyprus was 10%. The regulatory context of the State remains as the previous year with the National Supervisory Authority and the Ministry of Communications and Works being the main stakeholders in this perspective.

Traffic and Capacity En-route delays remain a serious problem to be addressed for the coming years. The traffic increase in 2014 was of the order of 10%. Staff measures along with better ATFCM practices have kept delays to 1.9 min/flight. This figure might be higher than the determined ACC contribution to the European average but given the circumstances and the increase of traffic, it is considered adequate. The ACC operated five sectors when needed during the summer. The capacity plan in the document is indicative of the future plans of the ANSP in addressing the delay shortfall. A major milestone in this area will be the formation of the new private entity for ANS which is expected to provide more flexible solutions in this area including better HR practices (e.g. flexible rostering etc.).

ESSIP Objective Implementation The limited resources of the ANSP are a challenge for the fulfilment of the LSSIP objectives as most of them have to be executed as “series process” and not in “parallel”. Besides these constraints the ANSP stands at a relatively satisfactory level of completion of the LSSIP, given also the limited applicability of several objectives for Cyprus. Out of the 30 applicable objectives, 10 are completed, 1 partially completed, 12 planned, and 7 are late. A good percentage of objectives are completed because of the implementation of the new ATM system in the ACC. Larnaca is not included in the list of airports that have a significant impact on the network so it is not in the applicability area for the ENV objectives and CDM. Besides this, a large proportion of the objectives are fulfilled based on the current operations. The initiation of the IDP project of SESAR, along with the work under the Blue Med FAB and the possible funding under the TEN-T, has enhanced the implementation of the projects of Free Route Airspace, MTCD further development, and PBN (also APV). The most significant problem encountered in the completion of the work was the availability of resources combined with the austerity measures imposed by the State. The State shall strive to fulfil the applicable objectives with priority based on the implementation deadline but also based on the operational significance.

Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2014 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2014.

The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:

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

 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 ESSIP Report 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 a set of the main ATM national projects which contribute directly to the implementation of the ATM MP OIs and/or Enablers and ESSIP related Objectives. The description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas are provided by the states 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 high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP 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.

Note: Chapter 6 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 ESSIP 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 ESSIP.

Note: 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.

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 COMMUNICATIONS AND WORKS, MoD and MFA, 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 tool, CIAM. 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.

1.2.2.2 ATC units The ATC units in the Cyprus airspace, which are of concern to this LSSIP are the following:

1.2.3 Airports

1.2.3.1 General information The two international airports of the Republic of Cyprus are Larnaca (LCLK) and (LCPH). Both are state owned, but operated on a limited time lease contract (BOT) by an international consortium HERMES. 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.

1.2.3.2 Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP APO SloAs are contained in the following objectives: ENV, AOP, ITY-ADQ and SAF11. In addition to the Annex B of the ESSIP Plan edition 2014, it is up to the individual State to decide which additional airports will be reported through LSSIP for those objectives. The airport covered by this LSSIP document is Larnaca International Airport.

1.2.4 Military Authorities The Military Authorities involved in ATM in the Republic of Cyprus are composed of the Air Force Command. The Air Force Command reports to the Ministry of Defence. Their regulatory, service provision and user role in ATM are detailed below (the organisational chart can be found in Annex B3) Military Entities 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.

LSSIP Year 2014 Cyprus 12 Released Issue 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.

Recommendations issued from the ESSIP Report for 2013 applicable to the Republic of Cyprus for all items that require corrective actions and improvements.

Reference Recommendation Ownership number

Local Stakeholders that declared delays in DK, EE, MAS, BE, LV, REC-2013-1 (1) implementation of FCM01 to take corrective measures to MK, CZ, CY, NO, AM, reduce the implementation delays. PT, BA, UA, TR, UK State feedback: The sending of CPRs and the rest of the FCM01 requirements are now being completed with the capabilities of the new system. The finalization is due by 28/02/2015.

Local Stakeholders that declared delays in ES, DE, BE, CY, BG, REC-2013-1 (7) implementation of NAV03 to take corrective measures to GE, LV, AZ, MD, ME, reduce the implementation delays. MK, MT, HR, IT, RS, UK State feedback: Implementation delays are due to the limited resources of the DCAC in relation to this requirement. The project is under way and completion should be expected in 2015. Larnaca and Paphos airports are not in the list of significant airports and are not contributing to any significant network delays.

REC-2013-4 Ensure better planning reliability at local level. All States State feedback: Recommendation noted.

The ANSPs should ensure synchronised system REC-2013-5 All ECAC ANSPs evolution between neighbouring States. State feedback: Even though the statement could hold true for States and Neighbours that belong in the EU, synchronization with States outside the EU is very difficult due to the different requirements framework. Cyprus is doing its best to enhance regional coordination/cooperation on this issue.

The ANSPs within a FAB should coordinate their system renewal and capability evolution more closely in order to REC-2013-15 FAB ANSPs deliver larger scale performance improvements to customers. State feedback: Recommendation noted. Projects that have the expectation to deliver larger scale performance improvements to customers are coordinated to the extent possible.
