During the current reporting period, PEARL has implemented targeted actions and achieved significant milestones across its objectives. In the area of Training and Coaching, the project established a robust Community of Practice framework, delivered over 20 training sessions both remotely and on-site covering all key performance areas, and redesigned the Community of Practice functionalities in collaboration with the SESAR 3 JU. In addition, the Performance Assessment Report Template was updated to incorporate the implications of the new ATM Master Plan.
With regard to Performance Assessments, PEARL provided interim Estimated Performance Contributions (EPC) for all SESAR Solutions, including Fast-Track, DSD, and U-Space projects. A comprehensive review of EPCs was initiated to reflect the new Master Plan campaign and updated project scopes, while continuous monitoring of performance management status enabled the timely identification and mitigation of potential risks.
The project also advanced its efforts in Integrated Simulations by delivering a detailed Simulation Plan through the EUROCONTROL team, which outlined all necessary activities. Selected key SESAR Solutions were identified for multi-simulation exercises aimed at evaluating their interdependencies and overall network impact.
For the development of a dynamic Performance Monitoring Dashboard, the project team collaborated closely to define the requirements for a tool that effectively tracks planned versus actual performance impacts across various metrics. This initiative is expected to enhance real-time reporting and provide valuable insights for continuous performance improvement.
Finally, in the realm of Reference Methods and Maturity Gates, PEARL launched ad-hoc activities that led to the development of updated Operating and Sub-Operating Environments for U-Space. A revision of the SESAR Performance Framework was initiated to incorporate emerging key performance areas from the new ATM Master Plan 2025, such as Passenger Experience. Continuous support was provided for the maturity gate process, ensuring that each project’s deliverables met the defined performance criteria. Furthermore, the project supported the ATM Master Plan Campaign by coordinating task forces that defined new performance ambitions extending to 2045.
