traffic flows by, for example, increasing co-operation
between en-route and approach.
The time-based separations project aims to recover capacity
lost in high headwind conditions, replacing distance separations
to help prevent the loss of runway arrival capacity. Another EEC
activity is analytical ATM methods and operations modelling.
In the societal and environmental areas, EEC is considering
how to meet public perceptions and expectations, and safety,
environment and cost-efficiency requirements. Research into
perceived aircraft annoyance around airports has identified ‘lifequality’
considerations such as social, economic, cultural and
phobic-nuisance factors alongside noise and emissions.
Finally, van Doorn underlines the vital role of research: “Where
would we be in ATM without human/machine research? Could
we handle today’s traffic with just the simple radar screens of
the 1960s? Everything which came later and makes up today’s
ATM system has been preceded by R&D.”

not be reached without a paradigm shift in how the system is
conceived and operated. Historically, Europe addressed 1950s-
1980s capacity shortages by employing additional controllers
and introducing computers. Now, the challenge is not only to
change systems, but also to do so with a scientific approach
involving many parties (although, van Doorn acknowledges
major changes to funding procedures or methods will be
necessary to pay for research into technology that will only enter
service in 25-30 years’ time).
Van Doorn says that the advent of SESAR and various political
moves mean the landscape is changing very rapidly, with the
EEC already “very engaged” on operational concept research.
“Work includes datalink, co-operative decision-making, better
controller ‘tools’, an integrated approach to sequencing, wake
vortex research, advanced airports guidance and control of
surface movement. Longer-term activity embraces delegation of
aircraft separation, airborne-separation assurance and fourdimensional
(4D) trajectories.” Other activities cover more
technical and dynamic central-flow-control processes.
During 2005, the EEC restructured its work programme. The
main change is from investigating technologies and new
concepts to greater concern with operational validation of the
2020 ATM system. EUROCONTROL also is learning to work with
and integrate alternative research sources, says van Doorn: “The
EEC must identify and draw on expertise and knowledge from
other centres, the industry and universities.” Through this
process, the EEC will facilitate the evolution of research
performed at local/regional levels to ensure its applicability and
integration into fully interoperable European wide applications.
For example, the EEC has integrated its work with 26 other
partners in the assessment of the SESAR concept of operations
in the European Episode 3 project.
The restructured EEC covers short-, medium-, and long-term
programmes. The medium term, representing 70 per cent of EEC
business activity (which includes Episode 3) and dubbed mid-term
validation (MTV), aims to confirm the SESAR ATM target concept.
Mid-term validation’s E30 million a year budget (including
simulation-software platforms) underlines EEC commitment to
support SESAR decision-making on system performance, including
cost, capacity, predictability, safety and environment.
The remaining 30 per cent of work covers short-term support
for key implementation programmes, with long-term research
focused beyond 2020. EEC’s short-term work ensures that current

afety is highest on the list of concerns for the European
flying public. It is therefore no surprise that safety is so
high up the list of priorities of the Association of
European Airlines (AEA). According to Vincent De Vroey, AEA’s
General Manager, Technical and Operations: “Safety is at the
heart of our members’ business model. It is not something
that is bolted on as an extra.”
The general public is naturally concerned about airline
safety, and the intense media scrutiny of the safety records of
airlines, which tends to follow every commercial passenger
aircraft accident involving a fatality, has encouraged the
