The Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) drives the evolution of the global air navigation system to meet the ever growing expectations of the aviation community. The purpose of the GANP is to equitably accommodate all airspace users operations in a safe, secure and cost-effective manner while reducing the aviation environmental impact. To this end, the GANP provides a series of operational improvements to increase capacity, efficiency, predictability, flexibility while ensuring interoperability of systems and harmonization of procedures. The Global Safety Plan (GASP) supports the implementation of the GANP by promoting the effective implementation of safety oversight and a safety management approach to oversight, including safety risk management to permit innovation in a managed way
The Sixth Edition of the GANP has a multilayer structure which comprises four levels – global strategic , global technical, regional and national. The Global Strategic Level is a document, written in executive language, which provides strategic directions for decision-makers, through a vision, performance ambitions and conceptual roadmap, to evolve the global air navigation system.
The ASBU framework is part of Global Technical Level of the GANP. Based on the evolutionary steps described in the conceptual roadmap available in the GANP Document, different concept of operations have been described for the different areas of the air navigation system:
ASBU Threads - within six-year timeframes.
ASBU Block - starting with Block 0 in 2013. These concepts of operations have then been translated into specific operational improvements called elements.
ASBU elements - In order to ensure full realization of benefits from the deployment of the operational improvements, the different components- ASBU enablers - necessary for their implementation, have been identified. These components include technology, training and regulatory provisions as well as the stakeholder responsible of their
