Thus, for eleven territorial delegations in metropolitan France, the services will gradually be grouped at the head-offi ces of the interregional divisions. This reorganisation will go hand in hand with signifi cant efforts towards training monitoring of careers of the agents. 2013 was also the year when the «Aircrew» European Regulation entered into force resulting in strong mobilisation of the DSAC with regard to fl ight crews: pilot training schools, licenses and medical fi tness. Thus, to ensure compliance with Aircrew, DSAC had to redefi ne its methods, adapt its IT tools, make changes in applications, which have been successfully done. Very important work, in collaboration with ENAC, was also carried out along with the French Aeronautical Federation to develop «standard» organisation and training manuals for fl ying clubs. In the medical fi eld, DSAC has completely revised its surveillance and organisation procedures. ORGANISATION CHART ............................... 4 DSAC teams have actively contributed to the development and changes of the new European aviation safety regulations, in order to make their application in France as relevant as possible; this includes the fi nalisation of regulations on airports, HIGHLIGHTS ................................................

  • Numerical Methods for Spectral Clustering a Spectral Cluster Analysis of the European Air Traffic Network, Using Schur-Wielandt Deflation
    DEGREE PROJECT IN TECHNOLOGY, FIRST CYCLE, 15 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2020 Numerical Methods for Spectral Clustering A Spectral Cluster analysis of the European Air Traffic Network, using Schur-Wielandt Deflation JOHAN LARSSON ISAK ÅGREN KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES Abstract The Aviation industry is important to the European economy and development, therefore a study of the sensitivity of the European flight network is interesting. If clusters exist within the network, that could indicate possible vulnerabilities or bottlenecks, since that would represent a group of airports poorly connected to other parts of the network. In this paper a cluster analysis using spectral clustering is performed with flight data from 34 different European countries. The report also looks at how to implement the spectral clustering algorithm for large data sets. After performing the spectral clustering it appears as if the European flight network is not clustered, and thus does not appear to be sensitive.

Fernando Pessoa, in Renascença Portuguesa III Exploring Connectivity in Air Transport as an Equity Factor| Frederico Valente Nunes | IV Exploring Connectivity in Air Transport as an Equity Factor| Frederico Valente Nunes | Abstract (and key-words) Abstract (and key-words) In this Master Dissertation we analysed the equity in air transportation in the European Union (EU) regarding routes and ticket prices. This study aimed to analyse whether the European Union policies in this field of transportation are considering the equity as a factor, whether they ensure the main purposes of the EU and whether they are improving the cohesion between countries. For this, three different indicators were created in order to evaluate equity in air transportation in the EU: Availability, the existence of routes between countries; Affordability, if the prices take into account the purchasing power of each country; and Business Convenience, to evaluate the cost of travelling by air on business in Europe.
