Update on Military dimension of the plan
Assessing the 2021 statistics, it can be seen that the use of ARES, which were reserved by LIT MIL, has become more efficient - thus, the transfer of part of the responsibilities to MIL AMC ensures more flexible and efficient use of airspace.
There are also observed more cancellations of reservations, which may indicate better involvement of MIL representatives in notifying the changed planning of activities (i.e. lower values of the number of reservations and time coefficients do not necessarily mean “bad” - it also indicates more active involvement, timely provision of information from stakeholders sides).
Statistics of airspace usage effectiveness provided in sheets 2.2.2 F PI#6, 2.2.2 G PI#7, 2.2.2HF PI#8 respectively.
Having in mind airspace design dimension - during 2021 in cooperation with MIL two new TSAs EYTSA8A and EYTSA8B were created, respective alternate routes were established, activation sequencies and priorities were revised.
Also in 2021 work together with MIL and neigbouring countries started on adoption in the region the airspace structure which enables large scale exercises, including participation of 5th generation aircraft. Mitigation means of possible negative impact on traffic flows and capacity are taken into consideration. The results of this work will be implemented gradually in 2022-2024.
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity
Automated ASM tool LARA with latest version v.3.2 connected to ATM system was put into operation. MIL using LARA web interface. Impact on Capacity could not been fairly measured, because in 2021 COVID restrictive measures had a major impact on aviation business activity.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6
In 2021 ON moved to Automated ASM tool LARA v.3.2 and connected via FMTP LARA with ATM system iTEC. Also, in 2021 LIT MIL established MIL AMC division, which is using web-LARA interface. Having this in mind coordination activities were updated accordingly, so coordination and interoperability with MIL increased.
In future - further enhancement and installation of newest Automated ASM tool version and ensurance of technical interoperability with MIL also updating respective coordination procedures.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7
In 2021 ON moved to Automated ASM tool LARA v.3.2 and connected via FMTP LARA with ATM system iTEC. Also, in 2021 LIT MIL established MIL AMC division, which is using web-LARA interface. Having this in mind coordination activities were updated accordingly, so coordination and interoperability with MIL increased.
In future - further enhancement and installation of newest Automated ASM tool version and ensurance of technical interoperability with MIL also updating respective coordination procedures.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8
In 2021 ON moved to Automated ASM tool LARA v.3.2 and connected via FMTP LARA with ATM system iTEC. Also, in 2021 LIT MIL established MIL AMC division, which is using web-LARA interface.
