ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Plenary Session
• Need to get airports and airlines more
involved.
• Get full commitment
• Implementation time lines are too long.
• Too many things are going on separately.
• USA/European cooperation – R&D
sufficient?
ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Benefits
Operational needs, lessons learned,
expected benefits, overall maturity and
potential implementation timeframe.

ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Benefits
• A large number of potential benefits were
identified:
– ASAS Spacing most promising application for the
short term;
– Airport enhanced surveillance could improve the
safety and efficiency.
• A number of concerns were highlighted:
– Sharing of responsibilities, Controller acceptability,
Safety Case
– Need for reference operational concepts
– Competing enabling technologies (1090 vs. VDL
Mode 4)
– Business case paramount
ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Costs/Implications
Implications of ASAS applications on
ground/ airborne systems, training
communication, infrastructure, and the
‘associated costs’.

ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Costs/Implications
• Early implementation is essential
• Further work is needed for Standards and
CBA
• We should mandate Package 1 and focus
on subset Application to reduce timetable
• 1090ES is not the answer but is going to
happen, a study for the up-link is needed
ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Impact
Expected impact of ASAS on workload,
safety, and responsibility for the human
operators

ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Impact
• Lack of knowledge concerning what ASAS
• Willingness to be involved by IFALPA,
IFATCA and ATCEU
• Trust - both technical and managerial
issues
• Package 1 may not be ambitious enough/
paradigm shift
• Learn from experience in “parallel worlds”
and use the safety case
ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Inter-operation / Safety
Change the environment, delays, standards,
military, ATC sectors, single sky. Transition
aspects. Mix equipage environment. Time
scales. Interoperability

ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Inter-operation / Safety
• General
– Need to disseminate/coordinate better
– Still a need to avoid the capacity gridlock
• Maturity
– Validation required
– Integration with existing systems
• Mixed equipage
– Equipage rate
– Transition
• Mandate
– Safety benefits
– Mode S elementary surveillance
– Incentive
ASAS TN Second Workshop, 6-8 October 2003, Malmö
Conclusions
• Need for agreement and commitment from
the various stakeholders
• Package 1 definition exists but fragile
• Need for pilot and controller acceptability
• Need for agreed standards for
interoperability
• Need for a clear implementation plan
• Need for improved exchange of
information
