Past projects have proved EGNOS
benefits for Aviation
•
GIANT (2006-08) measured
•
operational gains:
• Less disrupted approaches
• More safety
• Curved approaches,
reduction of noise and fuel
• EGNOS retrofitting breaks
even after 2 years, 6M NPV
• Flight trials provided real-life
feasibility success stories
(including landing an
helicopter on hospital)

GIANT 2 (2009-11) will
•
address new/underserved
user communities (e.g.
•
corporate jets,
police/emergency) that can
trigger innovative
application ideas
•
HEDGE (2009-11)
objectives are to develop:
Helicopter SOAP (SBAS
Offshore Approach
Procedure) and necessary
avionics
Helicopter PINS (Point in
Space) procedures for
mountain rescue and HEMS
(Helicopter Emergency
Medical Services)
This new FP project is addressing the full
cycle of aviation operations
• Aims at experimenting wide-scale adoption of EGNOS in a
network of EU airports serving regional airlines and/or general
aviation and/or helicopters
• To create a ‘snowball effect’, building on early adopters’
commitment
• Shall involve all players along the cycle of operations: aircraft
operators (BA, GA, commercial airlines), airports, ANSPs
• Other objectives
• Analyse real-life cost and benefits of EGNOS use, fine-tune
business cases
• Provide evidence for further EGNOS evolution (e.g. 200 ft)
• It assumes EGNOS is fully certified for SoL use in Aviation by
early 2010

FAQ

1/3
•
Where do you see the R&D value of this project ?
The size of the trial (i.e. wide-scale vs single flights), the operational context and
the ongoing use of EGNOS as navigation technology will produce valuable
insights and econometric data to drive future steps in the program
•
Is it a continuation of past projects, like GIANT (i.e. same concept) ?
No, it’s a new approach: no more single tests involving one airport, one airline,
but developing a wider scale real-life testing, covering cluster and the full cycle
of operations
•
Do you expect a well-written report ?
Not as main output; we expect indeed wide-scale real-life adoption of EGNOS
and real data for cost/benefit analysis, then we will also appreciate reading a
well-written analysis of it, to drive further decisions about EGNOS program
•
Project specifications
• Duration: up to 24 months
• Collaborative project (you’ll have to match 50% of the total budget)

2/3
•
I run past FP aviation/GNSS related project, do I have an advantage
here ?
Selection will be strictly based on the merits of the proposal and capability of
the consortium, independently of past participation on similar research
•
Do you focus more on commercial or general aviation ?
The two are relevant. Ideally you should cover both, designing a solution that
can fit everyone (and include airports of course)
•
Who would be the ideal consortium leader ?
An organization with strong ties with all the players of the entire chain of
aviation operations (i.e. avionics and aircraft manufacturers, aircraft
operators, small/medium airports)
•
Do I need a business plan in my proposal?
Yes,we do not intend to finance proposals with no perspectives
FAQ
3/3
•
Is there any geographical focus ?
No. However for the nature of the project, we expect to take place where
EGNOS performance is certified
•
Is it a continuation of past projects, like GIANT (i.e. can I repackage past
work :-) ?
Absolutely not. We do not want to duplicate/replicate past work. Past work has
shed light on the road to go, we want you to enter this road
•
Should public/semipublic bodies like Eurocontrol, EU Airport Ass., Sesar
be involved?
To maximize the impact of this project, we welcome involvement from such
bodies of the aviation community (they may have additional budget too…). But
it’s the overall capability of the consortium that will be assessed
•
I didn’t quite get what do you expect out of spending this money
A number of aircraft operators installing and using EGNOS receivers for their
daily operations, a number of airports serving those adopting EGNOS APV
procedures

Final remarks
• Coordination with other projects:
• EC/GSA encourages collaboration among FP7
projects
• Be ready to participate in meetings and organise
workshops
• Use all the new media available to maximize
dissemination
