Executive Summary
National ATM Context
Member State of:
National ATM Context During the first two months of 2020 air traffic numbers and passenger numbers continued to significantly increase for flights to and from Latvian airports. As of March 17th, when state of emergency was first implemented, restrictions were imposed on all passenger flights to and from airports in Latvia. Until June 9 of 2020, international carriage of passenger through air was authorised only under special authorization by the minister of transport. Under these conditions, repatriation flights were organized. Starting from June 10, 2020 international transportation of passengers through airports, ports, with buses and rail was conducted only to those states, which were listed as sufficiently safe by the Center for Disease Prevention and Control of Latvia. At the same time, requirements were imposed upon international passenger transportation to and from Latvian airports, like collecting consent and confirmation from passengers about compliance with the Latvian epidemiological requirements. Until the end of 2020, state requirements were in force prohibiting all passenger transportation to those countries, which were listed by the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control of Latvia.
As a result, due to the imposed passenger transportation restrictions to and from the airports, Latvia faced considerable drop of air traffic and passengers even in summer, when many other states mitigated air travel restrictions for international passengers and were able to reach comparatively higher short-term recovery than aviation industry in Latvia.
Meanwhile, the safety oversight is continued to be carried out remotely and both air navigation service providers – LGS and LVGMC (MET provider) received certificates in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2017/373.
Recognizing the many challenges for safe integration of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) into daily airspace operations, CAA of Latvia continues to share experience about safe RPAS integration into airspace, especially considering IR 2019/947 requirements for establishing designated various types of RPAS operating or RPAS prohibiting airspace volumes. In 2020, CAA of Latvia signed Manifesto of Intent to support the European Network of Demonstrators, which was launched by the European Commission. Together with LGS, CAA of Latvia participated in a European Network of U-space Demonstrators webinar sharing the experience from Riga CTR airspace assessment and current technical challenges in properly conveying aeronautical information data relevant specifically to drone operators at a higher precision and resolution.

Summary of 2020 developments: Year of 2020 in aviation of Latvia was heavily impacted by the global pandemic due to Covid 19 virus. In comparison to other states in the European Union, strict passenger aviation bans were in force, directly impacting commercial passenger flight operations to and from international airports of Latvia.
LSSIP Year 2020 Latvia 2 Released Issue Overall, more than half of the projects have been completed or are on-going in accordance with the plan: 1) Two out of three late objectives (ATCO07.1 at Riga airport ITY-AGDL) are planned to be completed in 2021 and one late objective (ITY-ACID for aircraft identification) is planned for completion in 2022. 2) Large majority of the objectives are not applicable to the airports and ANSP of Latvia under current regulation, for example AOP12 is more targeted for multiple runway airports or ATC15.2 for extension of AMAN to en-route airspace under PCP regulation. 3) SESAR project for aircraft guidance assistance through airfield ground lightning is planned for implementation at Riga airport by the end of 2022.

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 2020, 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 and the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP;
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 planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity, taking into account the current aviation situation caused by the COVID19 crisis;
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 Essential Operational Change 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 2020. In addition, it covers a detailed description of the Implementation Projects for the State as extracted from the LSSIP DataBase.
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.

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. It is considered to support the FAB-wide safety data exchange, aimed at systematic safety data sharing, processing and disseminating between FAB partners. More attention is paid on change management and handling the multi- actor changes.
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. The PBN Implementation Plans in NEFAB States have been co-ordinately drafted during 2020 and the ANSPs are working with executing their part of Plans.
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. Alliance continues the initiated in 2015 Free Route Airspace (FRA) Programme to create a multi-FAB FRA by establishing interfaces between FRA areas in 3 FABs and Iceland. FRA implementation is still on-going in UK and is expected to complete in 2024.
