亞太區域的航空夥伴們開始進行為期一周的試驗,用以展示由全航程的協同決策制定機制(“Whole-of-Flight” Collaborative Decision Making (CDM))所帶來的航空運輸效率之提升。

協同決策制定機制(CDM)是一套促進機場與航空交通管理單位間資料交換的管理工具。該工具協助航空利害關係人在急遽變化的操作條件下,能透過監看整體網路之需求、容量及限制進而採取更了解全貌、更好之決策。

該實驗將協同決策制定機制運用於新加坡樟宜機場與泰國曼谷Suvarnabhumi機場之間飛行所有階段。八班由泰航及新航執行每天往返的試飛將相關資料分享予泰國、新加坡及馬拉西亞的航空公司(Thai AirwaysSingapore Airlines)、機場營運單位(AOTCAS)與飛航服務提供單位(AEROTHAICAASDCA Malaysia)

這個起始於7/237/29為止的試驗,是在CANSO主辦下並由IATAACI所贊助且AEROTHAICAAS的代表人共同擔任此泛航空產業之計畫團隊的主席

根據CANSO 亞太區域主席 Hai Eng Chiang表示,計畫團隊希望在試驗過程中收集到的數據將展示協同決策制定機制的好處,並有助於最佳實務操作手冊的建立(有興趣者可上網搜索,他曾在2010930CANSO上發表一篇有關”Delivering Industry Best Practices to the Region”的文章)

他說:「這個創新的計畫呈現藉由合作,航空產業能做到如此程度。而CANSO對於能參予感到非常高興。如今,我們的工作是提升在其他重要夥伴間對於全航程的協同決策制定機制的理解與支持。」

該試驗係依據位於新加坡的CANSO 最佳實務操作工作小組(Best Practices workshop)所發起的兩年研究計畫。在2011年位於泰國曼谷之協會年會時,CANSO常設委員會成立一區域性團隊會議。之後,此會議已另行舉辦4次之多。

該計畫的起始,具體來說是過去12個月內,當此計畫團隊發展了模型並設計所有參與者間交換訊息之介面與方法時,建立了值得標記的發展里程碑。

該試驗之結論將在2012年第4季時舉辦於南非開普頓之CANSO的下一代最佳實務操作研討會與工作小組上發表。

Collaborative Air Transport Trial Begins in the Asia-Pacific
Aviation partners in the AP begin trial to demonstrate air transport efficiency improvements that can result from CDM.

Aviation partners in the Asia-Pacific have begun a week-long trial to demonstrate the air transport efficiency improvements that can result from “Whole-of-Flight” Collaborative Decision Making (CDM).

CDM is a management tool which facilitates the exchange of data between the airport terminal and air traffic management systems. It enables aviation stakeholders to monitor network demand, capacity and constraints, helping them take better informed decisions under rapidly changing operating conditions.

The trial implements CDM across all phases of flight between Singapore’s Changi Airport and Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport. Eight daily return test flights are being operated by Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines, with all relevant data shared among airlines, airport operators and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) for Thailand (
AEROTHAI, AOT, Thai Airways), Singapore (CAAS, CAG, Singapore Airlines) and Malaysia (DCA Malaysia).

The trial, which began on 23 July and concludes on 29 July, is conducted under the auspices of the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), and supported by IATA and ACI. AEROTHAI and CAAS representatives co-chair the pan-industry project team.

According to CANSO Director Asia-Pacific Affairs Hai Eng Chiang, the project team hopes that the data collected during the trial will demonstrate the benefits of CDM and will contribute to the development of a Best Practices manual. He said:

“This innovative project shows what industry can do by working together and CANSO is delighted to have been involved. It is now our job to promote the uptake of whole-of-flight CDM between other strategic city pairs.”

The trial follows two years of collaboration which began at a CANSO Best Practices workshop in Singapore. In 2011 CANSO's Operations Standing Committee (OSC) facilitated a regional team meeting during the association’s AGM in Bangkok and since then the team has met a further four times.

Remarkable progress has been made since the beginning of the project but particularly in the past 12 months when the team has built the model, and designed the interfaces and methods for exchanging information between all parties.

The results of the trial will be published in time for CANSO’s next Best Practice Seminar and Workshop in Cape Town, South Africa in quarter 4, 2012.

柏林航空支持使用RNP 程序用於起降_飛航服務總臺_鄭國璽

柏林航空支持使用RNP 程序用於起降
Airberlin Backs the Use of RNP Procedure for Takeoff and Landing
本文譯自CANSO ATM NEWS 12 April 2012

柏林航空(Airberlin)是德國第一家倡導RNP 衛星精確進場程序
(satellite based precision ladings)用於奧地利因斯布魯克
(Innsbruck)的航空公司,該公司目前仍持續發展相關尖端技術以成
為該領域的領導者。

所謂RNP-AR,係指Require Navigation Performance with
Authorization Required 的意思,其目的在使航機可維持在特定的
路徑上,以便安全地穿越山谷或在惡劣的天候下起降。同時RNP 程序
亦有極大的潛力可用來解決目前航道下噪音擾民的困擾,因為RNP 程
序可提供曲線進場方式,不像傳統程序只能實施線性進場,因此未來
透過航道重劃方式,將可避開人口稠密區域,降低噪音惱人問題。另
外在節省燃油部分,因RNP 程序對空域的有效使用,將使燃油的使用
更為節省。

柏林航空為使衛星精確進場程序成為日常飛航程序的一部份,該
公司自2009 年起便已加入一項名為「複雜異構空中交通(complex
heterogeneous air traffic (HETEREX)」的聯合研究計畫,此研究計
畫之目的,乃在建立RNP 曲線起降程序用於德國各機場之條件。在此
計畫下,人口稠密區或障礙物等未來將可輕易避開,藉以有效解決噪
音及廢氣排放等問題,尤其RNP 程序將可開啟柏林布蘭登堡機場
(Berlin Brandenburg Airport)新航線範圍的討論。

柏林航空波音機隊總機師Marc Altenscheidt 進一步解釋說,「
從前面因斯布魯克這個案例可以看得出來,柏林航空所具備的專業能
力已足以在其他機場實施RNP 起降了。目前我們的波音機隊業已建立
必要的技術能力,同時飛行員也已完成相關訓練了。有了這項新的
RNP 程序後,柏林航空的波音機隊又多了另一項更安全、更可靠的起
降方式,哪怕是在暴風雨的天候中。同時新程序也有效提高了飛行的
效率。另外,在因斯布魯克這個案例上還有另外一個特點,那就是
RNP-AR 允許柏林航空在惡劣的天候條件下實施離場,這使柏林航空
具備了極大的競爭優勢,因為當柏林航空能在能見度不低於300 公尺
的情況下離場時,其他航空公司因需遵守目視飛行規則關係將無法實
施離場。」

airberlin is continuing to develop its role as a pioneer of
cutting edge technology and is the first German airline to
initiate satellite-based precision landings using the RNP
procedure with its Boeing fleet in Innsbruck.

RNP-AR, which stands for “Required Navigation Performance with
Authorization Required", makes it possible to fly a specific
path safely on approaches through mountain valleys and to take
off and land in stormy weather conditions. The RNP procedure
has tremendous potential to reduce noise pollution, which has
not yet been exploited to the full in Germany. In the future,
aircraft could be re-routed to avoid flying over densely
populated areas close to airports, since the RNP procedure
allows aircraft to make a curved final approach and the flight
path does not need to be linear. In the area of fuel efficiency
the approach procedure can also lead to savings due to a more
efficient use of air space.

To establish satellite-based precision landings as a part of
regular flight operations, airberlin has been participating in
the joint research project for complex heterogeneous air
traffic (HETEREX) since 2009. The aim of the research project
is to create the conditions for curved approaches on takeoff
and landing at German airports using the RNP procedure. In this
way densely populated areas and obstacles can be avoided and
an effective contribution can be made to reducing noise and
emissions pollution. In particular, the RNP procedure could
open up a new dimension in the discussion on aircraft routing
for Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

Marc Altenscheidt, airberlin captain and head of the Boeing
fleet, explains: “The case of Innsbruck shows that airberlin
has the operational expertise to carry out takeoffs and
landings using RNP procedure at other airports as well. We have
created the technical conditions necessary within the Boeing
fleet and our pilots are trained in this procedure. With the
new approach procedure airberlin's Boeing fleet now has access
to another potential means of taking off and landing, which
further increases flight safety and the reliability of flights
even in stormy weather conditions. It also presents new
possibilities in the area of environmentally efficient flying.
A particular feature in Innsbruck is that RNP-AR can also be
used for difficult takeoffs. This gives us a huge competitive
advantage, because airberlin can take off in fog with
visibility of up to 300 metres. In such stormy conditions, other
airlines have to adhere to visual flight rules in the initial
part of the flight in order to fly out of the valley."
