  • Safety at the Interfaces: Collaboration at Work
    EDITORIAL HindThe ability or opportunity to understand and judge an event or experience after it has occurred ight26 EUROCONTROL SAFETY AT THE INTERFACES: COLLABORATION AT WORK THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL HOW FIERCE COMPETITORS by Sidney Dekker JOINED FORCES TO MAKE OFFSHORE HELICOPTER FROM EXPERIENCE OPERATIONS SAFER REPORTS TO EXPERIENCE by Gretchen Haskins SHARING Plus much more on collaboration by Erick Hoarau, Florence-Marie Jégoux within and between organisations and Sébastien Follet COLLABORATIVE ADAPTATION IN A CONSTRAINED SYSTEM by Don Gyles and Chris Bearman Winter 2017 Winter FOREWORD Dear readers, The Network Manager works with 43 countries, over 500 airports and around 2,000 aircraft operators, as well as with the military and our aviation neighbours in other continents. So it is no surprise that collaboration is essential in everything we do. It’s never boring, frequently surprising and often a challenge. However, it can be very rewarding to build the relationships required and then to see them result in practical steps to improve the performance of European aviation, something that is vital as traffic is now clearly growing again. We have seen record numbers this year, with nearly 36 thousand flights on a single day. Over the whole year, we expect to handle around 10.6 million flights. In practice, this collaboration means maintaining effective working relationships with every Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) across Europe. We look at their performance, at their plans and at the forecast traffic levels; then we discuss how issues can be resolved, before they cause problems. Sometimes that means spending a lot of time with a particular country to see how to overcome a particular challenge.

    SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT founding members SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT / 02 / Air Traffic Management goes green. SESAR seeks to reduce the environmental impact per flight by 10%. SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT / 03 / Statement from the Executive Director SESAR’s mission is to build the future air traffic management system, able to cope with an expected doubling of flights in Europe by 2020. This new system does not only have to cater for safety, efficiency and capacity of air transport, but it also needs to allow for a sustainable growth. The future of air traffic management needs to be green. It is the societal responsibility of the aviation industry to make sure that we can diminish the environmental impact of air transport which currently accounts for about three per cent of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. One of the priorities of SESAR is to enable the reduction of the environmental impact per flight by ten per cent. We have already demonstrated that by using existing technologies more efficiently and by introducing greener procedures, emission reductions of up to two per cent can be achieved. Patrick Ky Executive Director of the SESAR Joint Undertaking Single European Sky Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) The Single European Sky (SES) is an ambitious initiative launched SESAR is the operational and technological dimension of the by the European Commission in 2004 to reform the architecture Single European Sky initiative.
