Regulatory framework

The deployment of FF-ICE and its related requirements falls under the umbrella of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 116/2021 (CP1) that replaced (EU) No 716/2014 of 27 June 2014, known as the “Pilot Common Project (PCP)”. FF-ICE R1 Services are to be deployed in a timely, coordinated and synchronised way, such as all ATM functionalities that are mature for implementation and that contribute to the achievement of the essential operational changes identified in the European ATM Master Plan.

Geographical scope & affected stakeholders
