S-AF6.1 — Initial trajectory information sharing (i4D)

Initial Trajectory Information Sharing (i4D) consists of the improved 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.
Target times and 4D trajectory data shall be used to enhance ATM system performance.
Trajectory information and target times shall be enhanced by the use of air-ground trajectory exchange.

Deployment Target Date

31-12-2024

System Requirements

- Equipped aircraft shall down-link trajectory information using ADS-C Extended Projected Profile (EPP)as part of the ATN B2 services; The trajectory data shall be automatically down-linked from the airborne system shall update the ATM system according to the contract terms
- Data link communications ground systems shall support ADS-C (downlink of aircraft trajectory using EPP) as part of the ATN B2 services
- Flight data processing systems controller working positions and Network Manager systems shall make use of downlinked trajectories
- FDP to FDP trajectory exchange between ATS units as well as between ATS units and the Network Manager systems shall be supported using flight object exchange as defined in AF 5

Geographical Scope

Initial Trajectory Information Sharing shall be deployed in all ATS units providing air traffic services within the airspace for which the Member States are responsible in the ICAO EUR region.
