Trajectory information shall be enhanced by using air-ground trajectory exchange. The preliminary steps for the deployment of Initial Trajectory Information Sharing consists of the downlink of Extended Projected Profile (EPP) data from the aircraft and processing of this data by the ATC systems and NM systems.

Aircraft operators shall equip aircraft intending to operating aircraft above FL285 (with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued on or after 31st December 2027) with ADS-C/EPP compliant avionics that down-link trajectory information using ADS-C Extended Projected Profile (EPP) as part of the ATS B2 services. The trajectory data will be automatically downlinked from the airborne system in accordance with the contract terms and will be used by the ground system.

System requirements:

• Aircraft operators shall ensure that aircraft operating GAT flights in ICAO EUR region above FL 285 with an individual certificate of airworthiness first issued on or after 31st December 2027 are equipped with ADS-C/EPP as part of ATS B2 capability, in accordance with the applicable standards in order to downlink aircraft trajectory.
• Aircraft equipped with ADS-C/EPP compliant avionics shall down-link trajectory information using ADS-C Extended Projected Profile (EPP) as part of the ATS B2 services. The trajectory data will be automatically downlinked from the airborne system in accordance with the contract terms.

NOTE: Implementation of this Objective can only be done in conjunction with Objective ATC23, which is providing the corresponding system functionalities on the ground.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.
