2.1

ASSUMPTIONS, AND KEY ELEMENTS OF HANSA STRUCTURE

Assumptions

The following assumptions are taken into consideration: 1. 2. ICAO SARPs and SES regulations, current and future, shall be properly implemented; The "Hellenic Air Navigation Supervisory Authority" (HANSA) has been established functionally separated from the air navigation service provider and is functioning since July 2009. Law 3446/2006 establishes the NSA while Presidential Decree 150/2007 covers the organisation, the staffing and the responsibilities of the NSA. Additionally, Presidential Decree 103/2010 lays down the NSAs operating regulation. HANSA is responsible for the certification and the supervision of the ANS Providers, for ongoing compliance and safety oversight according to EC Regulations and other safety regulatory requirements. The institutional and legal status of the Hellenic ANS Provider (HANSP) is defined by Law 3913/2011 (Public sector and as a General Directorate within the HCAA).

3. 4.

2.2

Key elements of the structure of HANSA

The key elements of the structure of HANSA are:

1. 2. 3. 4.

All arrangements for HANSAs establishment are the minimum required; HANSAs structure fully meets SES and ICAO requirements where applicable; HANSAs sections must be manageable. Lessons learnt will be identified in due course; HANSAs staffing will be selected from HCAA employees and MET (Hellenic National Meteorological Services) as outlined by the presidential decree 150/07 in terms of number of employees and organizational structure.. The posts allocated in the sections reflect the maximum number to cover future needs. Therefore some posts will be unstaffed during the functioning of the HANSA . Apart from the ANSP definition, no change to the remaining HCAA structure was needed.

ANALYSIS OF THE STATES CURRENT CONTEXT

National Stakeholders Regulator

3.1.1

Civil aviation in Greece is under the responsibility of the HCAA, which is a Public service, subordinated to the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure & Networks. The HCAA Governor represents Greece at the EUROCONTROL Provisional Council. The HCAA is the Greek Authority responsible for the regulation, certification and overall administration of civil aircraft, personnel, equipment, civil aerodromes/airports (except Search and Rescue and MET services).. The ANS Regulatory Division of the HCAA, referring directly to the HCAA Governor is responsible for the regulatory HANSA is responsible for Certification and Supervision of the ATM/ANS providers.

3.1.2

Investigations for civil aviation accidents

Within the European Union, Art 6(1) of Council Directive 94/56/EC of 21 Nov 94, has mandated its Member States to ensure that the technical investigations (following civil aviation accidents and/or incidents) be carried out by a permanent body or entity, functionally independent in particular of the National Aviation Authorities (part of the safety chain) and in general of any other party (e.g. ANSPs, airport operators, etc.) whose interests could conflict with the investigations themselves. Such an independent body (Accident Investigation and Aviation Safety Board,) was established by National Law 2912 of 9 May 2001.

3.1.3

ANSP

The institutional and legal status of the Hellenic ANS Provider (HANSP) is defined by Law 3913/2011 (Public sector and as a General Directorate within the HCAA). The HANSP is responsible for the provision of ATM/ANS within the Athinai FIR/Hellas UIR. Other stakeholders complementing the provision of ANS are as follows: The Search and Rescue (SAR) service within Athinai FIR/Hellas UIR is provided by the Ministry of Defence (HAF) and the Ministry of Mercantile Marine (Hellenic Coast Guard), which are responsible for organising the aeronautical and maritime Search and Rescue services in a Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) and making the necessary facilities available. The meteorological service for civil aviation is provided by the National Meteorological Service, the Regional Met Centre MAKEDONIA and the Regional Met Centre ATA, which are Institutes subordinated to the Ministry of Defence The following Table lists information about the Hellenic Civil Air Navigation Services Provider as well as other HCAA regulatory units.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE HELLENIC AIR NAVIGATION SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY (HANSA)

The military authorities (Hellenic Air Force HAF) provide Air Traffic Services to civil aircraft at military aerodromes/Terminal Control Areas. HAF is also user of some designated/reserved parts of the airspace. Civil military co-ordination is ensured through agreed procedures (use of LoAs etc).

3.1.5

Airports

Operational requirements and organisational structure determine the categorisation of Hellenic airports/aerodromes. Aerodromes in Greece which are available for public use are designated as Airports (International or Domestic). All others are designated as Aerodromes. The fifty eight (58) aerodromes located in Greece are subdivided into categories according to Aeronautical Information Publication (Current AIP) as follows: 1. International Airports (including military aerodromes available also to civil aircraft) which must be used for the first landing in Greece and for the last take-off on outbound flights. All international airports in Greece are open to international aircraft operations for the types of traffic given in the AIP (scheduled/non scheduled, private). The most important international airport due to traffic movements, passengers and cargo is the Athinai International Airport (AIA) named EL. VENIZELOS. Airports for domestic traffic are available for scheduled operations of the national carriers and for private aircraft registered in ICAO member states. Domestic airports may be used by international air traffic after necessary clearances (customs, immigration and health) have been carried out on one of the international airports. Military Aerodromes are also open to private aircraft registered in Member States of ICAO, provided that a special permission was obtained prior to the flight. Municipal Aerodromes are open for scheduled operations of the national carriers and for private aircraft registered in ICAO Member States. The local municipality owns these aerodromes while ANS services are provided by HCAA.

The airspace under Hellenic responsibility/jurisdiction is encompassed by the Athinai FIR and the HELLAS UIR with the same lateral extent, which is approximately: 600 NM (1.100 km) in SE - NW direction 350 NM (650 km) in W - E direction 420 NM (780 km) in N - S direction The division flight level between upper and lower airspace is FL 285. The ATHINAI FIR/HELLAS UIR borders with ten (10) FIRs/UIRs of nine (9) different countries. Two (2) of them, Egypt, Libya, are non ECAC States. The adjacent FIRs/UIRs are:

10. Brindisi FIR/UIR Two ACCs, the Athinai and Makedonia ACCs provide the ATHINAI FIR/HELLAS UIR with air traffic management services. The environment can be considered as highly complex due to the large number (10) of adjacent FIRs and the traffic profile (a lot of climbing/descending flights). Fifteen (15) TMAs are established at civil airports and eight (8) TMAs at military aerodromes. The lower limit of TMAs is generally 1.000 ft. GND. The upper limit varies between FL 85 and FL 460, being the upper limit of the TMAs at principal airports. Twenty-six (26) Control Zones (CTRs) are established around civil airports and eight (8) Control Zones around military aerodromes. The Athinai TMA is the only high complexity TMA. However, taking into account traffic complexity and distribution, the Thessaloniki, Kerkira, Iraklion and Rodos TMAs can also be considered as complex TMAs.

3.2

Organisation of Air Traffic Services

The Hellenic ANS Provider (HANSP), a Directorate General of the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) is responsible for the provision of ATM/ANS with the exceptions of some Terminal Control Areas and some Aerodromes where ATS is provided by HAF.

CONSIDERATION FOR THE PROPER OPERATION OF HANSA

Posts shall be gradually filled in parallel with the increased workload demand keeping the staff cost rate stable. Support services provided by the HCAA to HANSA shall be clearly defined and described in Agreements (SLAs). Estimation of the cost and required effort shall be made. The support services that will be provided by HCAA corresponding divisions, are summarised bellow: (a) High level staff management by HCAA/D9 (DHR), consisting of recruitment procedures, personnel files repository and formal staff mobility and transfer procedures; (b) Contraction and maintenance and cleaning of buildings hosting HANSA, electrical infrastructure and furniture. (c) Training of staff under the aegis of the HCAA Training Centre, if applicable. (d) Logistics and assets management; (e) Equipment and various materials procurement; (f) Provision of transportation means and facilities; (g) Staff remuneration. Service Level

In addition to HANSA structure, the following considerations should be taken accordingly:

5. 6.

The HELLINAS cost accounting system shall be adapted to consider HANSA as an individual cost centre and to annually develop expenditure-revenue statements/balanced sheets according to SES regulations. Some other aspects are considered in the context of this manual and are addressed hereafter: (a) There may be a need to explicitly address issues associated with the defence units providing ANSs. Within the EC regulations (Service provision and Common requirements), there is no obligation for the certification of Military ANSPs as long as these organisations provide services primarily or exclusively to military OAT. However, Member States are required to ensure maximum compliance with the CR and to notify the Commission and other NSAs on this decision and how HANSA will ensure maximum compliance. If military ANSPs are providing services primarily to GAT, certification by HANSA is required (for services and equipment). Equally, there may be a requirement to perform Safety Oversights on military ANSPs. From an ESARR point of view, changes to military ATM Systems may require HANSAs approval in so far that these systems are used to provide services to civilian aircrafts. (b) At least the task of liaison with the military counter-part on regulatory and oversight issues should be recognised. Depending on the extend of the military service provision, it may even be appropriate to have a military representative permanently allocated to HANSA (to arrange oversights at military units, to arrange certification and oversight of technical systems even though procured by Defence. (c) The relationship with other regulatory functions required to fulfil the State responsibilities for regulating the aviation areas, performed at the moment by the HCAA, has not been set up. Some synergies should be established if the HANSA is also taking the responsibility as a Regulatory Authority in general. For example, highly skilled software/systems engineers will be available in the Flight Safety Department, and could be used to increase the oversight teams for e.g. overseeing CNS or certification of systems. Equally, legal experts could be shared generally in the organisation, security experts could be shared with the airport regulatory area, human factors experts (not the same as human resource experts) could be shared, etc. (d) Further on utilising synergies, ICAO has amended Annex 6, 11 and 14 in the area of Safety Management with requirements now quite similar for the aerodromes, ATS and Aircraft operators. Also here synergies can be achieved by harmonising the regulatory framework for safety management systems, monitoring safety performance indicators, definition and achievement of acceptable levels of safety.

(e) Continuing on synergies, it could be expected that the different sections could utilise staff from each other. This is especially valid when doing certification of service providers (CNS certification will require expertise about financial and legal matters as well). From a skills point of view the approval of a change to the ATM System will require a range of skills, which does not seem to be available in the Safety, Quality and Security Oversight section. For example, in order to assess safety arguments for a new complex ATC System one would typically need software expertise, system design expertise, expertise in reliability, availability and maintainability (both hardware and software), as well as experts in human factors, etc. For some expertise, the HANSA may even have to procure external support, as it will be unreasonable to have such expertise available full time in the HANSA (there will not be enough work to ensure adequate workload for such experts). (f) There is a word for human factors experts as a required skill. People making mistakes cause a significant number of incidents, and a central issue in any safety argument associated with a change to an ATM System (Equipment, People & Procedures) is how human factors have been addressed. If this requirement is not identified as a specific skill, it should be included in the job description of one or two of the experts, who should be well knowledgeable in human factors. (g) One may want to identify tasks associated with Airspace Management as a specific task. However, since International Relations, Planning and Legal Support takes care of regulatory aspects, this would probably fall under responsibility of this section.
