AOM20 — Implement ATS Route Network (ARN) - Version 7


Implement ATS Route Network Version 7 (ARN V7) as a response to the Airspace Action Plan and the 2015 Airspace Concept and Strategy for the ECAC States.

Develop, validate and implement ARN V7 in accordance with Advanced Airspace Scheme (AAS) principles taking into account military requirements.

The objective will ensure the progressive deployment of the AAS route network and consolidate into a network approach the first FAB developments, Free Route Airspace (FRA) implementation, and Terminal Airspace System (TAS) developments.

The progressive implementation of ARN V7 will ensure the delivery of the airspace structure elements of SESAR Deployment Baseline.

Expected Performance Benefits

Safety
Some enhancement through reduction in controller workload.
Capacity
Increased through reduction in conflict points, and specialization of routes and sectors to enhance productivity and reduce controller workload.
Operational efficiency
-
Cost efficiency
Savings in route distances in some States as well as better fuel efficiency through increased use of preferred flight profiles and improved sectorisation.
Environment
Reductions in emissions through use of more optimal routes.
