
Refine the ATSA-ITP procedure
Validate the operational acceptability
Demonstrate technical feasibility
Ensure that North Atlantic specific constraints and opportunities
are taken into account in the standardization and industrial
development
Develop a benefit model for ATSA-ITP in the North Atlantic
environment
Prepare a revenue flight trials phase and develop a plan
towards operational implementation


Prototypes and current technical equipment support the ITP procedure
Detailed performance analysis is ongoing
Operational acceptability






Procedure appreciated, well understood and correctly applied
Airborne prototype HMI found “easy to use”
Current controller HMI is acceptable to support ITP
Clarification of procedure usage (input to ATSA-ITP standard)
Agreement on phraseology by controllers and flight crew
 Strong preference for using CPDLC (free text is acceptable and pre-formated
msg preferred)
Procedure design and usability allows for a small amount of controller and flight
crew training

Benefit analysis result consolidation is ongoing
Results expected shortly
Safety issues within the scope of procedure clarification have been considered
throughout phase 1 of the project
Identified areas for further attention


Use of third party Aircraft Identification over voice is an issue
ITP clearance over voice is time consuming
Existing conflict probe function in relation to the new separation minima
Investigations for ITP specific controller HMI functions
