Executive Summary
National ATM Context
Changes to the Law on Aviation were adopted on October 11th of 2018 in order to implement more specific administrative penalties processes and clarifications as well as more specific military aviation safety requirements. After renovation and rebuilding of the regional airport “Liepaja”, number of regular regional and charter flights increased in 2018, establishing recognition of the airport “Liepaja” regionally. Based on the Airport Council International data, the largest air hub in the Baltics airport “Riga” was recognised as the second fastest growing airport in Europe in the 2nd quarter of 2018, contributing to the local air traffic increase.
Traffic and Capacity
Along with steady increase of Terminal and en-route air traffic during past years new solutions for airspace modernization will have to be implemented in order to satisfy the airspace user requirements and projected base scenario growth of 9% by 2022.
Progress per SESAR Phase
The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6 (PCP objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that two objectives – AOM19.1 and FCM05 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the percentage of both phases. The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (up to, and including, ATM MP L3 Edition 2011-2017) are also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented by the State.

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 2018, 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, an overview of the Airspace Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided;
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 conclusions extracted from the MP L3 Implementation Report 2018, which are relevant to the State/stakeholders concerned. The State reports how they have handled those conclusions and the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those conclusions;
Chapter 4 provides the main Implementation Projects (at national, FAB and regional level) which contribute directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation Objectives. Level 1 document covers 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 Level 2 document;
Chapter 5 deals with other cooperation activities beyond Implementation Projects. It provides an overview of the FAB cooperation and also all other regional 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 6 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation, implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition the high-level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective is presented. 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.
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 to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2018. In addition it covers detailed description of the Implementation Projects for the State as extracted from the LSSIP Data Base.
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.

The ATM modernization is moving smoothly as prescribed by the Project Management Plan. In contrast the Data Link Communication Infrastructure package experienced some disturbances. In June 2014 the EC has acknowledged the technical problems with data link services. LGS was forced to put the project on a temporary hold, to await the EC decision. In July LGS Board decided to postpone a discussion of the contract with SITA and ARINC. This pause shall help LGS to take into account all new requirements if any. However, the CPDLC implementation project is not closed. LGS is eager to continue based on a new clear roadmap.
2015 -2016 Modernisation of ATM system with regard to CPDLC implementation has been completed. The Project Management Plan was reviewed as per the Regulation (EU) 2015/310. The project team was awaiting results and new technical solutions (if any) from the SJU study. All appropriate activities for the TEN-T funding closure was completed by December 2016. The team has reviewed operational requirements for the data link services in line with ELSA Report and DLS Recovery Plan developed by SDM.
2017 LGS has carried out one open tender (procurement of Front-End Processor and G/G Router) and two negotiation procedures with SITAONAIR and Rockwell Collins (ARINC) companies with regard to deployment of VDL Mode 2 infrastructures. The Front-End Processor and G/G Router are going to be installed and tested by January 2018. The deployment of VDL Mode 2 infrastructure is expected by February 2018 (SITAONAIR) and May 2018 (ARINC).
2018 The Front-End Processor and G/G Router were installed and tested by March 2018. The VDL Mode 2 infrastructure has been deployed and checked in March (SITAONAIR) and July 2018 (ARINC). Corresponding DLS software (CPDLC module) for ATM System was installed on the Test ATM System. Technical tests (including simulated and real aircraft) were completed successfully. All the parts were integrated together. Draft operational procedures were developed. The new functionality has been validated by means of Real- Time Simulations. Corresponding training for the ATCOs is planned. Technically the system is ready for implementation. Operational implementation is planned within February 2019.

LSSIP Year 2018 Latvia 31 Released Issue 5. Cooperation activities
FAB Co-ordination
NEFAB FRA The overall objective of NEFAB FRA project was implementation of unrestricted and seamless FRA within NEFAB and implementation of FRA compliant procedures in Bodø Oceanic. This project was executed in close cooperation with DK-SE FAB, involving the stepwise interfacing of FRA volumes in two neighbouring FABs, as described in chapter 5.2. The NEFAB FRA will be extended with including the Helsinki TMA into FRA volume in April 2019. The next step in NEFAB FRA development is considering the removal of ATS routes. The process was initiated with stakeholder discussions at the NEFAB Customer Consultation workshop in September 2017. Afterwards the team of ANSP experts have compiled the Project Execution Plan, specifying the task description, the master schedule and working practicalities, to be further coordinated respectively with each State and NSA.
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.
The NEFAB SMS harmonization is considered to support the FAB-wide safety data exchange, aimed at systematic safety data sharing, processing and disseminating between FAB partners.
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.
LSSIP Year 2018 Latvia 32 Released Issue Regional cooperation Regional cooperation initiatives
NEFRA NEFAB has been closely cooperating with DK-SE FAB within an agreed concept to implement a continuous and seamless FRA from a user perspective across the two FABs. The project was named North European Free Route Airspace (NEFRA) Programme. The NEFRA Programme anticipated the implementation of seamless interface between the two FABs above FL285 (because Danish-Swedish FAB FRA is above FL285). In November 2015 the first milestone of NEFRA Phase 1 was implemented with harmonized FPL rules for FRA operations across the two FABs. First step of cross-border FRA between two FABs was implemented in June 2016 with seamless FRA operations between NEFAB East (Estonia, Finland, Latvia) and DK-SE FAB. Seamless FRA interface with Norway was finalised in May 2017 allowing unrestricted FRA operation across the borders of all six states in both FABs. FRA was also implemented in Bodø Oceanic from March 2017.Flight planning in Bodø Oceanic is done in accordance with ICAO Doc 7030. The next NEFRA related activities, if any, have been agreed to be organised under Borealis cooperation.
Borealis FRA The Borealis Alliance is the 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. In 2015 Borealis Alliance initiated the Free Route Airspace (FRA) Programme to create a multi-FAB FRA by establishing interfaces between FRA areas in 3 FABs (NEFAB, DK-SE FAB and UK-IRL FAB) and Iceland. The Borealis FRA concept of operation is based on the NEFRA concept, i.e. to connect the FRA volumes of 9 States seamlessly, so that these appear as one continuous FRA to airspace users. The Borealis Alliance is also seeking for further expansions, for example to establish cross-border FRA between Maastricht UAC area of responsibility, DK/SE FAB and northern part of Germany.
Events in NEFAB area relevant to Network Operations Plan (NOP) The NEFAB Management Board emphasised that the special events which could bring more traffic should be considered in the NOP. Furthermore, projects that have impact on the traffic flow should be indicated on respective ANSPs’ NOPs. The list of such events was drafted as follows: XMAN implementation SWE: 2019-2020 XMAN implementation NOR: 2023 SWE airspace changes: 20??
