issues must be addressed in areas such as
performance expectations, as well as the
role of humans and technology.”
Trusted partners
In addressing many of the issues raised by
the SES project, IFATCA has published
‘SESAR – Mission Possible?’ It also
contributed to the third SESAR milestone
(D3) work that was accepted by
EUROCONTROL in September 2007.
“One of the prime tasks is to guarantee
that ATC staff are not only consulted and
listened to, but that they are also included,”
says Baumgartner. “All the staff
organisations representing the controllers,
technicians and pilots need to become
trusted partners in the change process.”
Confirming IFATCA’s readiness to be
part of the solution, Baumgartner explains
that this requires a level of maturity in
dialogue by the other actors and
stakeholders, particularly as change will
only be successful if it is in line with
“More important
than particular
technology or
procedures is a
commitment to
a high level of
cooperation
among all
members of the
ATM community”

role will change as ATM automation
evolves. The IFATCA President says this
should include an increasing ability for
controllers to delegate tasks to others –
humans and automation systems, since
both are required. He says: “The human
should at all times be the manager, not the
servant, of technology.” IFATCA is also
keen to see the human element
represented in all stages of technology
development, while underlining
controllers’ willingness to participate.
“ATCOs are not against change. They are
simply not happy with changes imposed
on them, where technology fails to deliver
as promised,” insists IFATCA.
Turning specifically to the EC’s
expectations of SESAR, Baumgartner says
the improved safety, enhanced performance,
reduced environmental impact and much
lower service charges are all achievable,
perhaps even in a shorter time frame than
originally envisaged. But all these objectives
raise questions. “What is expected after
2020? Are these performances sufficient? Do
they represent value for money?”
IFATCA recognises progress in safety
measurement, but says that safety
management is, in fact, risk management
with no buffer or margins for
unpredictable or uncontrollable events
that can overtake the ATM system. “There
50
solution for addressing safety and
efficiency, among other things, is too
simply stated as ‘the airspace user will
plan their preferred four-dimensional
trajectory and the ATM will modify the
trajectory to the minimum extent
possible’. The difficulty is that many
States and Air Navigation Service
Providers believe that is what they are
already doing.” This led the Federation to
outline practical considerations in early
2007 in a 55-page document, one of
several publications produced by
IFATCA. “Our inputs to the ongoing
SESAR work were simply ignored,”
IFATCA told the High-Level Group.
Cooperation requires not just a sharing
of information, but action to ensure
predictability in performance by both
airspace users and service providers,
according to IFATCA.
Humans should not be servants
to technology
Noting the part played by people,
Baumgartner says that human strengths
are seen in the rational and flexible
management of technological systems,
especially during unforeseen events.
“It is often this that has allowed
automation to be implemented in realworld
ATM environments.” The human
ICAO’s future vision of the ATM concept.
This, he says, means all stakeholders must
agree on a common and shared vision,
translated in agreed and shared
performance plans. Underlining the
worldwide context for such developments,
IFATCA therefore suggests that
EUROCONTROL, the EC and SESAR
have to fit into the global picture.
A major concern for IFATCA is a
difference in perception among
stakeholders. “We are concerned there
