Introduction

The SESAR Deployment Programme explains that ANSP shall:

• Consume the eFPL via the Data Publication Service using the NM B2B services in support of information Exchange of FF-ICE;
• Consume the Flight Data Request Service, using the NM B2B services in support of information Exchange of FF-ICE;
• Consume the Notification Service using the NM B2B services in support of information Exchange of FF-ICE.

The next chapters provides ANSPs with guidance to achieve these goals.

Overview

Family 5.6.1 – Flight Information Exchange comprises five FF-ICE/R1 Services provided by NM. Three of them must be consumed by the ANSPs within the geographical scope.

Consuming NM's Data Publication Service

Business justification

The eFPL content can be leveraged by the ANSPs in order to perform improved trajectory prediction for a variety of ATM functions. This would include (non exhaustive list):

• Balancing demand against capacity more accurately
• Providing complementary feedback in response to the distributed eFPLs, i.e. being able to fine-tune the 4DT portion applicable to their AOR;
  
  • See also Implementation Strategy for FPFDE NFPM, chapters 3.3 Pre-Departure Phase – Flight Planning and Filing and 4.1 Finalising the flight planning/filing phase with an Agreed Trajectory
• Facilitating AUs’ adherence to their preferred trajectories as much as possible, leading to more efficient and sustainable flights

Consuming NM's Flight Data Request Service

Business justification

CP1 mandates ANSPs to consume the eFPL via the Data Publication Service and to consume the Notification Service, using the NM B2B services. As a result, ANSPs will start receiving FF-ICE Messages relevant to their operations, including eFPLs filed by Airspace Users and approved by NM, and at a later stage FF-ICE Departure and Arrival Messages for the concerned flights. These messages will be pushed to ANSPs by the Publish/Subscribe interface of the NM B2B Services and will have to be correlated using the GUFI. In certain non-nominal situations, when for instance pushed messages expire before they are consumed by the client application, ANSPs might exceptionally receive FF-ICE Messages that cannot be correlated to an eFPL, or may be uncertain regarding the status of a given flight. In these situations, the ANSPs are expected to obtain the latest eFPL (& GUFI), or the latest flight status information, using of the Flight Data Request service provided by NM.
