MID Region Global ATM Operational Concept Training Seminar
Cairo, 28 November – 1 December 2005

 

 

Summary of Discussions
 
1. OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR 
 

1.1 The objective of the Seminar, which was conducted within a framework of Special Implementation projects for the year 2005, was to provide States in the Middle East region with a better understanding of the ATM operational concept and its components, with the focus on the planning and implementation issues related to the approach towards a harmonized and evolutionary implementation of the global ATM operational concept.

 
1.2 The Seminar was attended by a total of 39 participants from 10 States and 4 International Organizations.
 

 

1.3 Mr. A. Zarroug RO/ATO ICAO MID Office opened the Seminar on behalf of The ICAO Regional Director and Messrs Gunnar F. Emausson TO/ATM from ICAO HQs and Mohamed Smaoui RO/AIS/MAP ICAO MID Office, supported it. Presentations on different subjects were also made by speakers from ATNS South Africa, Eurocontrol, IATA and FAA in addition to those made by the ICAO Secretariat.
 

2. SEMINAR PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS

 

 

 

2.1 On the first day of the Seminar, the participants were provided with basic presentations, which covered the Air Traffic Management System requirements and an overview of the Global ATM Operational Concept and its components. These presentations provided the background to the Seminar.
 
2.2 During the following days of the Seminar, the participants were apprised of the ICAO Air Navigation developments, the Global Air Navigation Plan for CNS/ATM systems and its status of implementation in the MID Region as well as the proposed amendment to the Global Plan. The presentations covered also many other important issues i.e: the transition strategies to facilitate the gradual implementation of the ATM operational concept, the development of an ATM Performance framework in support of the operational concept, a strategic vision for future Air Traffic Management "Achieving harmony! One Sky? ATM?".
 
2.3 In the concluding session, the participants appreciated the format and contents of the Seminar, which was considered as the first step in the planning mechanism related to the approach towards a harmonized and evolutionary implementation of the global ATM operational concept. As a result of discussions, the Seminar developed the following recommendations, which are to be addressed by ICAO and States as appropriate:
 
a. The Seminar acknowledges the need to consider the impact of the ICAO Global ATM Operational Concept, on the MID Region.
 
b. States in coordination with the ICAO MID Regional Office should take the leadership role in the regionalized, harmonized implementation of the ICAO Global ATM Operational Concept.
c. MID States in coordination with the ICAO MID Regional Office should identify the areas where immediate collaboration can be implemented and consequently benefits derived.
 
d. To meet the overall requirements of the ATM Operational Concept, States/ANSPs in coordination with the ICAO MID Regional Office, should create, as a matter of urgency, the mechanism to allow cooperation, to achieve global Collaborative Decision Making (CDM).
 
e. The ATM community members of the MID Region should consider the value of harmonization through an active participation in MIDANPIRG and its subsidiary bodies meetings.
 
f. Regulators and ANSPs should develop a common view and supporting process to fulfill their respective roles as members of the ATM Community and should interact in a coordinated and harmonized manner with the other members of the ATM Community.
 
g. For the preparation of the implementation of the ATM Operational Concept, States should develop as soon as possible a human resources and training plan for all Civil Aviation Staff with an early identification of training and recruitment needs linked to the Global concept.
 
h) IATA should continue to play a leading role in the process of ATS Incident Analysis and maintain the database on ATS incidents in the MID Region.
 
i) IATA is invited to present to the next ATM/SAR/AIS SG meeting a Working Paper on ATS incidents with incidents reported even outside the MID Region.
 
j) MIDANPIRG is invited to reconsider the re-activation of the ATS Incident Analysis Task Force with revised TOR including safety issues.
 
k) States are invited to make every effort to involve the military authorities in the planning process pertaining to the Global ATM Operational Concept.
 
l) Civil-Military coordination in the MID Region should be further improved and the issue of military flights using the airspace over the high seas should be tackled by all concerned parties, as a matter of urgency.
