Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/116

means an ATM functionality that facilitates the provision of approach and aerodrome control services by improving runway safety and throughput, enhancing taxi integration and safety and reducing hazardous situations on the runway;

means a single, common and collaboratively agreed rolling plan available to all relevant operational stakeholders which provides a common situational awareness for optimised processes;

means the scheme established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317;

means the targets referred to in Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317;

means an ATM functionality that combines the operation of flexible airspace management and free route and enables airspace users to fly as closely as possible to their preferred trajectory without being constrained by fixed airspace structures or fixed route networks.

means an ATM functionality that improves the use of target times and trajectory information, including where available the use of on-board 4D trajectory data by the ground ATC system and Network Manager systems, implying fewer tactical interventions and improved de-confliction situation.

means, in reference to ATM functionalities, the procurement, installation, testing, training and putting into service of equipment and systems, including associated operational procedures, carried out by operational stakeholders;’;

means a date by when the implementation of the ATM functionality or sub-functionality is to be completed;

means a date by when the standards and specifications are to be available for the ATM functionality or sub-functionality to enable its implementation;’;

means an ATM functionality that improves the European ATM network performance, notably capacity and flight efficiency, through exchange, modification and management of trajectory information.

means a plan, including its supporting tools, developed by the Network Manager in coordination with the operational stakeholders to organise its operational activities in the short and medium term in accordance with the guiding principles of the network strategic plan and which includes, for the European route network design-specific part of the network operations plan, the European route network improvement plan;

means the Network Manager and civil and military: airspace users, air navigation service providers, airport operators;’;

means a scheme established by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317;

means an implementation of ATM functionalities in a synchronised way over a defined geographical area, which includes at least two Member States within the EATMN, or between air and ground operational stakeholders based on a common planning that includes implementation target dates and the relevant transitional measures for progressive deployment and involving multiple operational stakeholders;’;

means an ATM functionality that consists of standards and infrastructure enabling the development, implementation and evolution of services for information exchange between operational stakeholders via interoperable services which are built on SWIM standards and are delivered through an internet protocol;

means putting in service the ATM functionality in question which is fully used in daily operations;
