Airspace
Total Area: 10,810,000 km2 11 FIRs including HK& TAIPEI 18 upper control areas 28 medium/low level control areas 31 APPs

Traffic Volume and Flows

Traffic volume in 20105.5 million and over 90% is demotic traffic The proportion of international traffic will increase Very congested in eastern China Nearly 40% of traffic distribute in Bohai Bay, PRD and YRD. Traffic in Southwest China is expected to grow rapidly in future China is involved in most of the major traffic flows of APAC region

ATM Infrastructure
The eastern area and developed western area of China has covered by modernized CNS infrastructure.
VOR/DME

Matured AIS system provides aviation users with timely, accurate and complete aeronautical information and service products.

VHF

MET network all over the country provides timely weather report and meteorological information.

Rapid Growing Demand

In the past decade, the air transportation volume in China maintained a growth of 15%. Today, China aviation transportation volume ranks No. 2 and kept a excellent record of safety. By 2030,the volume of passengers is expected to exceed 1billion

Challenges
As the traffic growth rapidly, delay in congested areas is getting serious. Insufficient ground infrastructure in highland and mountain areas of western China. Insufficient airspace and inflexible utilization. CDM mechanism need to be strengthened. Nation-wide ATFM system is to be setup.

CAAC Long-Term Strategy

In 2010, CAAC had proposed a long term strategy to guide the development of aviation industry from now to 2030. A SAFE, EFFICIENT and ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY air transportation system has been set as the goal of strategy. The China New Generation ATM System is part of the strategy.

11

ATM Long Term Objectives

SAFETY: Accident rate less than 0.1 per million flight hours.

CAPACITY: Accommodate 4 times of current demands and punctuality up to 85%.

EFFICIENCY: Route non-linear coefficient down to 1.05.

SATISFACTION: Improve service to increase the satisfaction of airspace user as the demands growth rapidly.

12

Vision of ATM Development

China New Generation ATM System (CNAS)
Follow CAAC Long-Term Strategy Based on operation and development situation and environment of China Air Transportation Compliance with the concept of ICAO Doc.9854. Under the guidance of ICAO Doc.9750 and 9883.

Take NextGen and SESAR as reference.

Performance Based Operation

Performance Based Navigation and Separation ATM service provider will provide different service to different level of aircraft performance. PBO provides measures to improve ATM by taking advantages of operation capability of aircrafts. ATM service provider can use Required Performance as a measure to maximums the utilization of ATM assets and increase capacity to accommodate demands. Users can make the tradeoffs between investments and level of service desired to best meet their needs.

17

Flexible AOM
Flexible Use of Airspace under Civil-Military Coordination
Enhance Civil-Military cooperation Increase temporary route Reduce permanently segregated airspace

Dynamic airspace capacity management

Change airspace structures with pre-defined modes according to flow requirements and changes of traffic situation. Flexible sectorization, optional route, performance base airspace access rules

Flex AOM will enhance the capability of managing the airspace to gain more capacity

18

Collaborative Operation
SWIMBuild a dynamic information sharing environment provide tailored service and facilitate unified situation awareness CDMBrings benefit in demands capacity balance and improve capacity and equity of the system. Supervision and evaluation is needed to maximize the benefits of all stakeholders without impacting overall operations of ATM system.

Trajectory Based Operation

TBO is a brand new concept TBO will change the way of ATM service delivery. Planning and execution of flight, flow and capacity management, even separation and conflict management will shift to Trajectory Based At late stage of the New Generation ATM System , China will gradually shift to TBO from current operation.
