Introduction

The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a five-year 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 2013 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2013.

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

 Chapters 1 to 5 present the key players in the State, and sets the institutional and geographical scenes to help the reader understand the specifics of the State and interpret the rest of the document correctly. It also presents a short description of the main national and regional projects in which the national Stakeholders are involved.

 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.

LSSIP Year 2013 Armenia 8 Released issue 1.2.2.1 ATM system in use

Specify the manufacturer of the ATC system currently in use: AZIMUT (Russian Company) Major upgrade1 of the ATC system is performed: 2013 The new generation ATM system “Galaxy” was installed at Yerevan ATC centre which is deployed by the Russian company “AZIMUT. The system “GALAXY” has a modular architecture according to the EUROCONTROL requirements and uses “ASTERIX inside”. All subsystems are linked via redundant LAN and all servers have triple redundancy (Active, Hot-standby and Cold-standby). Surveillance Data Processing System combines all traditional RDP functions and ability of connecting with different sensors PSR, (M) SSR, mode S, multilateration (MLAT) and ADS-B. Aircraft derived data are used for surveillance data processing and presentation of additional information in track labels (Indicated Airspeed, Selected Altitude and QNH , Magnetic Heading, Rate of Climb or Descent). All calculations are carried out in WGS-84 model of the Earth FDP system uses real time data from SDPS instead of static FPL route to update aircraft trajectory. Safety Nets processing is compatible with EUROCONTROL Specification for Short Term Conflict Alert (STCA), Minimum Safe Altitude Warning (MSAW), Area Proximity Warning (APW) and Approach Path Monitor (APM). MONA, MTCD, flexible vector, possibility of OLDI with adjacent FIRs, CPDLC, separate QNH areas for flights below transition level, automated update of flight plans and sending of DEP, ARR messages to CFMU are also engaged in the system. The system is also interfaced with European Aeronautical Database EAD (AIXM). Controller Working Position provides an integrated representation of the air situation, combining actual surveillance sensor data and FPL information. Being ready scaleable it can act as a separate working position directly interfacing with sensors (PSR, SSR, mode-S, ADS-B, MLAT, ADF, weather systems and AFTN network) or be a part of ATC system interfacing with SDPS and FDPS modules. “GALAXY” simulator is used as a back-up system as well. The new IP Voice Communication System (VCS) ( Company, Italy) was installed at Yerevan ATC centre. The radio and telephone VCS fully integrates new IP Network requirements and latest technological achievements with user-friendliness needs at Operator and Maintenance levels. The VCS system combines all up-to-date interfaces such as MFC R2; ATS QSIG; E1 QSIG; and VoIP.

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

1.2.3 Airports

1.2.3.1 General information There are two international airports in Armenia: • Yerevan “Zvartnots” International Airport, the main gateway to Armenia, located 12 km southwest of Yerevan; • “Shirak” Airport in Gyumri, located at about 100 km northwest of Yerevan. All flights to , Middle East, and other international connections originate exclusively out of “Zvartnots”. Gyumri “Shirak” Airport only scheduled serves for CIS countries and charter flights to all destinations. Given the fact that Armenia is completely landlocked, the country relies heavily on its international airports as the main point of entry for both passengers and cargo.

1 Upgrade is defined as any modification that changes the operational characteristics of the system (SES Framework Regulation 549/2004, Article 2 (40))

LSSIP Year 2013 Armenia 9 Released issue “Zvartnots” International Airport is the main International Airport of Armenia, it provides full airport services. “Zvartnots” International Airport and the Gyumri “Shirak” Airport are operated by Armenian International Airport Company.

1.2.5 Accident/incident Investigation Body

1.2.5.1 Investigations Investigations following accidents and/or incidents are carried out by the provisional flight safety inspection body, which is subordinated directly to the Director General of the GDCA, moreover in exceptional cases the Government can designate a special investigation committee. The provisional flight safety inspection body is a public institution, it is not an autonomous decision making authority and it is settled as an independent body within the Civil Aviation System; therefore the objectivity of its dealings is assured as requested by Directive 94/56/EC. To guarantee an independent position, the provisional flight safety inspection body has been put under the direct surveillance of the Authority of the Director General of GDCA different from the regulation Deputy Director of GDCA. The provisional flight safety inspection body conducts investigations for Civil Aviation aircraft accidents and serious incidents. In case of non serious incidents they can task the service provider to conduct investigations on behalf of GDCA. In the frame of ARMATS SMS, all ATM related incidents should be investigated by ARMATS internally and relevant corrective actions implemented.

1.2.5.2 Collection, Evaluation & Processing of Data The service provider is tasked by the GDCA to collect, evaluate, process and store all ATM related information to civil aviation accidents, incidents and occurrences, as well as to make this information available to others. The investigating bodies issue safety recommendations as appropriate (with the exclusion of accidents and incidents to State aircraft) following its investigations, and/or whenever deemed appropriate conducts studies and surveys aimed at increasing flight safety. In order to carry out this function, TOKAI, the tool developed by EUROCONTROL, is used.

1.2.5.3 Civil-Military Accidents/Incidents Investigation of accidents and/or incidents involving Civil and Military are conducted by a joint body composed by experts from the Military Flight Safety Department, the GDCA and ARMATS.
