help controllers detect and analyse
potential conflicts as much as 20 minutes
in advance. The MUAC is one of three
Area Control Centres (ACCs) – the other
two were Malmö and Rome – to have
carried out MTCD trials between 2002
and 2004, and in doing so demonstrating
that MTCD has “technical and
operational benefits as well as the potential
to improve safety and cost-efficiency”.
Operational implementation at MUAC is
planned for 2008.
Controller Pilot Data Link
Communications (CPDLC)
The last ten years have also seen major
advances in data link technology at
MUAC, mainly through the Preliminary
EUROCONTROL Test of Air/Ground
Data Link trials, which started in the mid-
1990s, and now through the LINK 2000+
programme. Controller Pilot Data Link

nuisance alerts significantly.
The Maastricht Centre is currently
looking into new Airspace Management
and Air Traffic Flow and Capacity
Management tools to produce safety and
capacity benefits in the coming years.
Maastricht ATC New Tools and
Systems (MANTAS)
An internal project, MANTAS (Maastricht
ATC New Tools and Systems) laid the
groundwork for an entirely new
operational concept based on a
fundamentally different, capacity-driven
air traffic control methodology. It
represents a shift from a reactive, tactical
methodology to a more effective and
efficient flow and capacity management.
The MUAC has already updated its
operational activities as a result of
preliminary MANTAS findings.
Implementation of new operational
concepts and technologies is part of daily
life at the MUAC. The success with
which it has done so is clearly evident in
its performance statistics. For example,
despite an increase in traffic close to 55
per cent between 1997 and 2007, last
year the Centre managed to process 96
per cent of flights through its airspace on
time. In addition, costs have been on a
downward trend since 2002, resulting in an
average decrease of 13 per cent per annum.
Not only that, but in spite of the high
traffic density and complexity of its airspace
the MUAC has the enviable reputation of
being one of the most cost-effective ACCs
in Europe, with by far the highest
controller productivity. “We are very proud
of our achievements,” says Baret, adding
that besides controlling traffic safely and
effectively, the MUAC “will continue to
improve its technology infrastructure to
allow testing of new concepts central to the
achievement of the SES”.

Ian Goold assesses the progress of the Single European Sky and the SESAR Definition Phase
Single European Sky
The Definition Phase (DP) of the Single
European Sky Air Traffic Management
(ATM) Research (SESAR) programme is
running ‘generally according to schedule,’
says Bernard Miaillier, head of
EUROCONTROL’s SESAR and ATM
Strategy Division.
Although there was a slight slippage in
the intermediate stages, the last of the six
milestone deliverables, which will establish
the framework for implementing the ATM
Master Plan, is still planned for March
2008, as envisaged when the contract was
signed – more than two years earlier in
November 2005.
The third milestone, D3 – definition of
the future ATM target concept – was
delivered in July 2007 and accepted in
September, just as the programme moved
toward December’s scheduled review of
D4, covering the selection of the best
deployment scenario.
Miaillier emphasises the need for strict
programme discipline: “It is essential to
stick to the schedule for the last two
deliverables.” D5 will provide technical
substance and priorities for the
Development Phase, the work
programme of the SESAR Joint
Undertaking in particular, and D6 will
define and size the work packages.
In accepting the D3 milestone
