All work packages worked with objective to reach to expected maturity level at the end of the project. To reach it, they performed validation activities to assess their concepts.
PJ02-01 performed a number of validation activities including fast-time, live trial and several real-time simulations to progress the maturity of wake turbulence separation optimisation concepts to V3 level. Seven of the eight OIs achieved full V3 maturity, whilst one (AO-0327), remains at V2-ongoing maturity.
PJ02-02 performed ground and board validation activities to mature the concepts and at the end of the project, assessed its five OIs at V3-ongoing, as additional validations are considered as needed to assess non-nominal situations when enhanced approach procedures are activated.
PJ02-03 reached V3 maturity level for the concept with the use of a separation support tool, and is still V3 on going when no tool is used.
PJ02-05 made significant progress on the concept of Independent IFR rotorcraft operations at airports. The operational use cases and requirements were developed and refined towards finalizing the Solution Data Pack in 2020. The two flight trials performed between end-2018 and first quarter of 2019 closed the validation path planned for this Solution confirming the expected results.
PJ02-06 performed three validation exercises, one real time and two fast time and reached V2 maturity level.
PJ02-08 focused on developing the concept on Traffic Optimisation on Single and Multiple runways up to a V3 Phase. Several real-time and fast-time validation activities have been conducted.
The Solution PJ02-08 delivered the V3 Data Pack as planned in November 2019, including cost benefit analysis, technical and operational performance assessments with good results covering safety, capacity, efficiency, resilience, environment and Fuel efficiency, access and equity, and human performance to facilitate deployment decisions.
Communication and dissemination activities have been performed through visitor’s days at validations, videos, posters, leaflets and meeting with ANS Providers, Airports and Air Space users.
PJ02-11 focused on the enhancement of the terminal area operations considering efficient curved operations for both arrivals and departures. Good progresses were made in order to meet solution final objectives. Focus Group activities took place to further discuss the concept yielding to the consolidation of each Data Pack documents finalising V1 phase.
