Air Traffic Management (ATM) performance is Safety driven by four Key Performance Areas (KPAs): safety, capacity, environment and cost-efficiency. Two types of events are analysed in detail in this re- This report focuses on skeyes’ operations at Liège port, both giving a view on airport safety performance: Airport (ICAO code EBLG). Its aim is to provide skeyes’ missed approaches and runway incursions (RI). main stakeholders with traffic figures for 2020 Overall, the rate of missed approaches slightly and relevant data on the performance of skeyes increased in 2020. The increase is largely caused by operations at Liège Airport, namely on three of the a rise in missed approaches due to stormy weather four KPAs: safety, capacity and environment. with wind shear. Compared with 2019, much stronger winds were observed in 2020. Nevertheless, Traffic the number of missed approaches remained lower (in absolute number and rate) in 2020 than in 2017, Despite the COVID-19 crisis, traffic at Liège Airport when the instrument landing system (ILS) was only decreased by 1%.

Trafic Sécurité

Malgré la crise du COVID-19, le trafic à Liege Airport Deux types d’évènements sont analysés dans n’a diminué que de 1%. Cette diminution est due au ce rapport, tous deux donnant un aperçu des trafic VFR (Visual Flight Rules, règles de vol à vue) performances de la sécurité aux aéroports : les qui est passé de 7.081 mouvements en 2019 à 5.120 approches interrompues et les incursions de piste mouvements en 2020, car des restrictions sur le (Runway Incursions, RI). trafic VFR non-essentiel ont été imposées le 10 avril 2020 et seulement levées le 9 juin 2020. Dans l’ensemble, le taux d’approches interrompues a légèrement augmenté en 2020. L’augmentation Cependant, le trafic IFR (Instrument Flight Rules, est en grande partie due à une hausse des règles de vol aux instruments) a augmenté, approches interrompues en raison d’un temps passant de 36.370 mouvements en 2019 à 37.791 orageux avec cisaillement de vent. Par rapport à mouvements en 2020, et ce grâce à l’augmentation 2019, des vents beaucoup plus forts ont été observés de la demande de fret. Liege Airport joue un rôle en 2020. Cependant, le nombre d’approches majeur dans les besoins du marché européen interrompues en 2020 est resté inférieur (au niveau du fret et a été sélectionné par les Nations Unies des chiffres absolus et du taux) à celui de 2017, comme l’un de leurs hubs logistiques mondiaux lorsque le système d’atterrissage aux instruments pour la livraison de matériel médical et humanitaire.

Six incursions de piste ont été signalées, dont 2 étaient imputables à la gestion du trafic aérien (ATM).

La fluctuation du pourcentage de CDO au fil des années est cependant difficile à expliquer, car elles dépendent d’une multitude de facteurs.

Les relevés de vent montrent l’un des partenaires clés, au lancement réussi du une configuration de vent similaire à celle de Collaborative Environmental Management (CEM) 2019.

1. TRAFFIC

In this chapter, the traffic at Liège Airport is presented, as recorded by the Airport Movement System (AMS) developed by skeyes. The AMS records the movements at an aerodrome and within its Control Zone (CTR), which are defined as an aircraft either crossing the CTR, landing or taking off at the aerodrome. The figures presented throughout the report consider a movement as a take-off or landing of all traffic. As this report considers runway performance, movements such as crossings of CTRs are not considered. As such1: y one take-off = one movement y one landing = one movement y one touch-and-go = two movements

The number of aircraft movements for the last four 2,000 movements. The decrease of VFR traffic, years are as follows: which is the lowest observed since 2017, is due to the impact of COVID-19 . From mid-March until y 2017: 38,677 (33,509 IFR; 5,168 VFR); the begin of May 2020 the Government restricted y 2018: 41,771 (36,104 IFR; 5,667 VFR); the Belgian airspace for VFR traffic with a few y 2019: 43,451 (36,370 IFR; 7,081 VFR); exceptions. Therefore, there were low numbers y 2020: 42,911 (37,791 IFR; 5,120 VFR). of VFR traffic observed in this period.

There are two parallel runways at Liège Airport, In Figure 1-4 it can be seen that most used runways 04L/22R and 04R/22L. Their use depends on several were runways 22L/R which registered about 75% of factors. Main factors are wind direction, airport lay- the movements in 2020, while runways 04L/R only out and approach and departure routes. For exam- served 25% of the movements. This is similar to the ple, due to their proximity, the runways are called years 2017 and 2019. Only in 2018 runways 04L/R dependable runways, meaning only one runway at were used for more than 30% of the movements. a time may be used; i.e. either 04L or 04R. Hence, in The reason for the usually higher use of runways the capacity analysis in section 3.1 runways 04L and 22L/R is the wind direction, as the wind at Liège 04R are summarised as runway 04, and 22L and 22R Airport is mainly observed from a south-westerly are summarised as runway 22. direction. This can also be seen in section 4.2 (Wind Patterns).

Although runways 04L/22R and 04R/22L are easily applies to the ratio of runway 22R to 22L and abso- interchangeable, the preference at Liège Airport is lute number of movements of runway 22L. This can runway 04R/22L, as it is longer than 04L/22R and is be seen in Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6. It can be noted equipped with CAT III instrument landing systems that runway 04L/22R is usually only used when (ILS). I.e. the ratio of use of runway 04L to use of runway 04R/22L is blocked; i.e. due to runway and runway 04R decreased compared with 2019, as well taxiway works, maintenance of equipment, etc. as the absolute number of movements.

Traffic / 9 Cargo: Increase in operations

Liège Airport plays a major role in the needs of the European cargo market. I.e. in 2020 Liège Airport has been selected by the United Nations as one of their global logistics hubs to deliver medical and humanitarian material [1]. As such, while the number of passenger flights plummeted in Belgium due to the COVID-19 crisis, the number of cargo operations at Liège Airport increased. Based on a refined, more accurate calculation method, following the air traffic market segment rules (STATFOR/EUROCONTROL) and flight plan information captured by skeyes’ airport movement system, the number of cargo operations have been re-calculated for the years 2019 and 2020. The results show that the number of cargo movements have increased from about 29,000 in 2019 to almost 32,000 in 2020. In terms of market share of IFR flights at Liège Airport this is an increase from 80 to 84%2.

2 Note, in the Runway Performance Report EBLG 2019, the market share of cargo operations of IFR flights at Liège Airport was stated as 88%. The difference can be ex‑ plained due to more detailed information available and refined calculation method; for example filtering out maintenance flights.

10 / Traffic Traffic / 11 12 / Traffic 2. SAFETY

This chapter is divided into four topics: missed approaches, runway incursions, other noteworthy incidents and improvements and recommendations.

The missed approaches covered in the following chapter are based on internal logging made by the air traffic control officers (ATCOs). As such the quality and accuracy of the available information is commensurate with the level of reporting. These logs of missed approaches are not considered as safety occurrences. They are an operational solution allowing to maintain safety margins when the approach cannot be continued for a safe landing. At the same time, particularly during peak hours at busy airports, they also increase the traffic complexity and the residual safety risk. It could be argued that missed approaches are a hybrid leading indicator, and that by analysing the reasons leading to this type of procedure, it can be examined whether there are any systemic deficiencies in a technical equipment, in a procedure or in manner in which ATCOs and/or pilots apply these procedures.

The runway incursions are a lagging runway safety indicator. The runway incursions and other noteworthy incidents are safety occurrences. These are subject to a risk classification using the Risk Analysis Tool (RAT) methodology to assess the contribution that skeyes had in the chain of events (in accordance with EU Regulation 376/2014 and EU Regulation 2019/317). The following sections indicate the severity classification that was derived from the calculated RAT risk for the safety occurrences. The following definitions apply for the severity classification, which are in accordance with the acceptable means of compliance (AMC) of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) . Severity Classification Description A – Serious incident An incident involving circumstances indicating that an accident nearly occurred. An incident associated with the operation of an aircraft, in which the safety of the aircraft may have been compromised, having led to a near collision between aircraft, with ground B – Major incident or obstacles (i.e. safety margins were not respected; in this case, not as a result of an air traffic control (ATC) instruction). An incident involving circumstances indicating that an accident, or a serious or major inci- C – Significant incident dent could have occurred if the risk had not been managed within the safety margins, or if another aircraft had been in the vicinity. Insufficient information was available to determine the severity, or inconclusive or conflict- D – Not determined ing evidence precluded such determination (RAT RF < 70 %). E – No safety effect An incident which has no safety effect. N – No ATM ground No system, procedure or person involved in the provision of ATC services initiated or con- contribution tributed to the incident.

All missed approaches are recorded by cause when the approach cannot be continued for a safe of event, and the internal reporting is done by the landing. Besides the discomfort for passengers and ATCOs. The missed approaches are monitored crew, the missed approaches increase the air traffic on a weekly basis. This report gives a yearly overview management complexity.

22 / Safety Improvements And Recommendations skeyes has established a LRST together with the stakeholders at Liège Airport. All apron events, taxiway incursions, runway incursions, and more if deemed useful, are discussed in the LRST to present the view of each stake- holder. As such, each stakeholder can focus more easily on possible actions to be taken on their side. I.e. all incidents mentioned in the sections before, were presented in the LRST and in response to the increase in runway incursions, recommendations were made on the organisation of works at the airport and a standard methodology for a change of run- ways. skeyes is implementing the A-SMGCS (Advanced-Surface Movement Guidance and Control System) together with the airport. The A-SMGCS is a radar monitoring tool which, in poor visibility on the airfield, provides air traffic controllers with the means to control and guide aircraft and ground vehicles. In conditions of reduced visibility, this technology will make it possible to optimize the capacities while guaranteeing an optimal level of safety. This is expected to have a positive impact also on the probability to have runway incursions, as it represents a safety net, increasing the controllers’ situational awareness regarding every target on the movement surface. Initially it was expected to become operational at the end of 2020, but this has been delayed due to the difficulties in travelling caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, having an impact on the planning of the site acceptance tests. The A-SMGCS became operational in March 2021.

The upgrade of the ILS on runway 04 from CAT I to CAT III in 2017 has already shown clear ben- efits by reducing the rate of missed approach- es on that runway: from 11 missed approaches due to low visibility in 2017, there has only been one in 2018, one in 2019, and one in 2020.

3. CAPACITY & PUNCTUALITY

This chapter is divided into two sections. In the first section, the airport capacity is addressed. The declared capacities for runways 04 and 22 are given and analysed, taking a deeper look at the days with busiest peak hours.

In the second section, the punctuality (arrival delay) at Liège Airport is studied. An overview of the targets and assumptions are given, and arrival delays are analysed. The delay is also analysed from the airport’s point of view, i.e. considering the impact caused by regulations not only at Liège Airport, but also in the Belgian en-route airspace and by other Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Airport Capacity

In it can be seen that the capacity was limited by total, 14 of such days were recorded. In 12 of the 14 the departure capacity. I.e. in nine days the number days, the peak hours were recorded at night, while of departures in the peak hours were 27 or higher. in the other two days the peak hours were recorded Since the declared IFR capacity for departures during the day. Since the traffic during the day on all runways is 28, it can be concluded that also consists of a large amount of VFR traffic, no in some days, the capacity limits were reached comparison with the declared IFR capacity should during the departure wave.

4. ENVIRONMENT

One of the factors influencing noise and aircraft fuel burn around the airport are the landing procedures. Continuous descent operations (CDO), also called green landings, are monitored in this chapter. An overview of predominant winds is also provided, as wind is a leading factor in the choice of runway use. Continuous Descent Operations

A descent is considered as a CDO if no level off last- ing more than 30 seconds is detected. A level off is considered as a segment during which the aircraft has a rate of descend of less than 300 feet/minute.

CDO statistics are inherently variable, because they are influenced by such a multitude of external fac- tors, such as: y Pilots’ CDO flying experience y Pilots’ experience with specific airport y ATC experience y Runway usage (equipment) y Aircraft type/equipment y Military airspace open/closed y Traffic flows y Impact of other traffic streams on arriving traffic.

As a result, it is difficult to explain an increase or decrease from one year to the next, especially when such small variations are observed.

40 / Environment Improvement measures and activities

To promote and facilitate the number of CDOs flown to Liège Airport, different measures are investigated or have already been implemented: y Similarly to what was successfully set up in Brus‑ sels in 2018, skeyes as one of the core partners, has participated in the successful launch in Sep‑ tember 2020 of the ‘Collaborative Environmen‑ tal Management’ (CEM) at Liège Airport. The objective is to increase cooperation with airlines and the airport in undertaking joint initiatives that further reduce the environmental impact of airport operations. Stakeholders in the discus‑ sions are Liège Airport, skeyes, SOWAER, and the main airlines at Liège Airport; y skeyes monitors and adapts, where feasible, operations to improve flight efficiency. I.e. due to the reduction of traffic in the Belgian airspace, some constraints could be relaxed, and both air traffic controllers and pilots were encouraged to pro-actively facilitate and encourage as much as possible CDO/CCO (continuous descent oper‑ ations/continuous climb operations), as well as more direct routings; y skeyes is in contact with airlines presenting CDO statistics and communicating the phraseology; y skeyes is increasing awareness amongst ATCOs through courses, and by informing them of the current statistics and performance.

The wind at Liège Airport comes typically from roses in Figure 4-5. The wind roses show south-westerly or north-easterly direction, the average wind strength in knots (colour coded) with wind from south westerly direction being and direction for the years 2017 to 2020. mostly dominant. This can also be seen in the wind
