available following the meeting on the CPWG web site at
http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/enroute/oceanic/cross_polar/
5. Agenda Item 3: Summary of Pertinent Issues from Recent Meetings
5.1. Leah informed the meeting that the ANSPs had met on 7 Jun to discuss pertinent issues.
Information from the outcome of that meeting would be reported under appropriate action items.
6. Agenda Item 4: Provide Status on CPWG/10 Actions
Administration
CP01-08C: Status of FAA/State ATM Agreement/ Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) collaboration
between FAA and State ATM
6.1. State ATM reported that they had received approval from FATA to sign the Air Navigation
Services (ANS) Agreement and Annex with FAA. An Annex will be needed to describe the letters of
agreement (LOAs) that may be added to permit establishment of interfacility procedures.
6.2. Once the ANS Agreement and appropriate Annexes are approved and signed, an LOA will be
developed between the State ATM Main Air Traffic Management Center (MATMC) and the FAA Air Traffic
Control System Command Center (ATCSCC) to define procedures for rocket launches, contingency
procedures, and other ATFM matters.
CP10-01: Amend CPWG Terms of Reference (TOR)
6.3. FAA presented a revision to the TOR (Appendix B), adding the Civil Aviation Bureau, Japan
(JCAB) as a member and adding the Pacific Project to the work program. The revised TOR were approved
by the meeting. Action Item CP10-01 was closed.
CP10-05: Consider establishing new route structure called “Trans-West” for routes west of ABERI
6.4. During the last meeting, State ATM proposed reclassifying the routes west of ABERI, which were
not classified, as ―Trans West‖ routes. It was noted that such a change would require the airlines to update
their bilateral agreements.
6.5. The meeting decided to close Action Item CP10-05 until an opportunity occurs to update bilateral
agreements, or the need for these agreements is changed. State ATM asked that NavCanada include NALIM
in their statistical gathering, which they agreed to during the meeting.
4
Reduce Separation Standards
CP01-02: Implementation of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) in the Russian Flight
Information Regions (FIRs)
6.6. State ATM confirmed that the following States would implement RVSM on 17 Nov 2011:
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. RVSM
implementation by these States had been managed through the coordination and cooperation of the Europe
and Asia (EURASIA) RVSM project.
6.7. State ATM reviewed the preparations for RVSM implementation and confirmed that they would use
flight levels for international operators below FL290, adding corresponding altitudes for domestic operators
only. An aggressive schedule had been established for updating LOAs with adjacent area control centers
(ACCs), with plans to sign the agreements in late Sept 2011. State ATM will provide an update on the
implementation and the status of the LOAs to the next meeting.
CP03-30: Standardize Polar Region separation standards
6.8. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provided the meeting with a copy of the
approval letter for the North American (NAM) Doc 7030 amendment for the implementation of 50 nautical
mile (NM) lateral separation. Anchorage Arctic FIR implemented the standard on 18 Nov 2010 based on
previous approval in the Pacific Doc 7030. NavCanada plans to implement in Fall 2011, and Isavia is
considering implementation. Updates will be provided to the next meeting.
CP10-12: Chart reflecting Arctic separation standards
6.9. FAA presented a chart (Appendix C) reflecting all Arctic FIR separation standards. Action Item
CP10-12 was closed.
Improve Communications
CP03-29: High Frequency Air-Ground Data Link (HFDL)
6.10. FAA presented information on recommendations made by the Performance Based Aviation
Rulemaking Committee (PARC) to the FAA concerning the use of FANS 1/A over HFDL (FOH). The
following recommendations were presented to the FAA on 7 March 2011:
a. Recommendation 1 – Expedite the steps necessary to remove restrictions on current FOH
operations to realize immediate gains in efficiency and safety benefits;
b. Recommendation 2 - In the near term, plan for and implement those portions of the
performance-based framework to enable use of Required Communications Performance
(RCP) 400 and Required System Performance (RSP) 400 specifications;
1. Revise flight plan filing requirements:
2. Revise Operations Specifications (Ops Specs);
3. Modify air traffic control (ATC) automation; and
4. Continue post-implementation monitoring and corrective action.
5
Note.— It was also noted that post-implementation monitoring should consider latency
criteria outside VHF coverage in single media configuration and multi-media configuration,
and consider availability criteria taking account of HFDL sub-network characteristics and
system management.
c. Recommendation 3 – Work with industry in appropriate standards organizations to ensure
future Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) application standards meet the
needs for both airline operations center (AOC) and ATS communications, such as including
fuel on board and expanded meteorological data in ADS-C reports and ground-ground
distribution of ADS-C reports.
6.11. The FAA was expected to accept the recommendations, but no date was yet available.
6.12. IATA noted that this communications option could provide key benefits for the Pacific Project. A
question was raised as to how the revised flight plan filing requirement would relate to the ICAO Flight Plan
2012. FAA will provide the information in an update to CPWG/12.
CP06-01: Harmonized flight data exchange between facilities
6.13. FAA provided the meeting with information on the status of the Pan Regional Interface Control
Document (ICD) for ATS Interfacility Data Communications (PAN Regional Oceanic ICD). This
document had been developed to consolidate and harmonize the ICDs for the North Atlantic and
Asia/Pacific Regions. An update on the progress will be presented to the next meeting.
6.14. FAA also provided an update on the status on the air traffic control automation initiative to interface
the Anchorage Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZAN) Ocean 21 Air Traffic Services Inter-facility Data
Communications (AIDC) System and the Magadan On-Line Data Interchange (OLDI) based flight planning
system.
6.15. An FAA interface working group was evaluating the operational and cost factors associated with
integrating an interface between the Magadan flight data processing system (FDPS) and the ZAN Ocean 21
AIDC-based system. FAA uses AIDC flight data exchange to coordinate aircraft movements and air traffic
control (ATC) operations not only in Alaska, but in the Oakland and New York Ocean 21 systems for both
the Pacific and North Atlantic oceanic airspace environments. A comprehensive assessment was needed to
define the interface requirements and the communication infrastructure to support the interface between the
OLDI and AIDC based systems.
6.16. A preliminary evaluation of the Ocean 21 and Flight Data Processing 2000 (FDP2000) system was
accomplished to examine the commonality of the data formats between OLDI and AIDC. The results of this
analysis will serve as a basis for bilateral discussions between the two facilities. The first technical
exchange meeting was held on 7 June 2011, with further exchanges planned for the future.
6.17. State ATM commented that all of the issues raised to date could be resolved from a technical
viewpoint. They plan to update OLDI to comply with ICAO Flight Plan 2012 requirements. Magadan,
Petropavlovsk- Kamchatsky (P-K) and Murmansk ACCs will interface. The initial interface for ZAN would
be with Magadan ACC. State ATM was making every effort to establish this high priority interface between
the two facilities.
6.18. JCAB expressed an interest and requested that FAA and State ATM provide them with updates on
the technical decisions.
6
6.19. United Airlines noted that there had been frequent examples of problems with the existing methods
of transfer of control, and that it had been a problem during the tactical reroute trials, and asked FAA to
make this a high priority. FAA agreed to take this information back to Headquarters. An update will be
provided to the next meeting.
CP06-13: Lost Communications Procedures
6.20. ICAO provided the meeting with information on the proposal for amendment of the NAM Doc
7030 loss of communications procedures.
6.21. On 28 April 2011 a meeting was held at ICAO Headquarters to discuss the proposal submitted by
the CPWG. The FAA, NavCanada, IATA, International Federation of Air Line Pilots (IFALPA), ICAO
North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACC) Regional Office as well as ICAO Headquarters
participated in the meeting. During the meeting, participants took time to review the various ICAO
documents dealing with communications failure and everyone had a chance to express their views and/or
concerns on this topic.
6.22. For the CPWG proposal to be published in Doc 7030, support from the users was necessary. It
quickly became obvious that both IATA and IFALPA were not ready to support the proposal, and ICAO
Headquarters also had a number of concerns with the proposal. The group was of the opinion that based on
the very unlikely event of a communications failure, combined with the low traffic density on the Polar
routes, the situation did not warrant an urgent reaction.
6.23. During the meeting, IFALPA and IATA indicated that they would support a global revision to
harmonizing loss of communication procedures via a revision to Annex 2. It was stated that in today’s
environment, the probability of a total loss of communications was a low probability and would support an
amendment on the basis that the pilot must maintain their last assigned route, altitude, and Mach number.
6.24. The group concluded that the way forward would be to modify the provisions of Annex 2 related to
loss of communications. ICAO will determine the appropriate body to address this modification. The
objective would be to present this for approval at the 12th Air Navigation Conference in November 2012.
6.25. FAA will follow up with ICAO and request an update for CPWG/12.
CP07-03: Improve Communications North of 80o North
6.26. FAA reported that the PARC Communications Working Group (CWG) had initiated the FANS 1/A
over Iridium (FOI) project in 2008 in order to advance communication technology and leverage existing
capabilities to meet operational needs. The project, completed in August 2010, substantiated the
recommendations below through laboratory evaluations, pre-FOI operations to evaluate performance of
aeronautical operational control (AOC) communications, and FOI operations.
6.27. PARC made two recommendations to the FAA, suggesting that significant operational and safety
benefits would be lost unless actions were taken to sustain current communications and surveillance
capabilities. Furthermore, Next Generation Air Transportation Services (NextGen) operational
improvements would depend on appropriate and operationally acceptable communications and surveillance
capabilities together with performance based navigation (PBN). Implementing these recommendations
should promote expansion of data link services, provide incentives for fleet equipage and enable
performance-based operations consistent with NextGen objectives. The two recommendations were:
7
a. Recommendation 1: Expedite the steps necessary to remove restrictions on current FOI
operations to realize immediate gains in efficiency and safety benefits; and
b. Recommendation 2: In the near and mid terms, plan for and implement a performance-based
framework for RCP and surveillance performance specifications.
6.28. The FAA was taking steps to accept the recommendations of the PARC CWG. All restrictions to the
use of Iridium in the FAA controlled oceanic airspaces would be removed. The use of FOI and the
performance capability of Required Communications Performance (RCP) 240, as well as Required Systems
Performance (RSP) 180, with Required Navigation Performance (RNP) 4 would allow controllers using the
Ocean 21 system to apply the 50 NM longitudinal or the 30 NM lateral/30 NM longitudinal separation
standard on a ―target of opportunity‖ basis. The development of a performance based communication
concept has been commenced and will be reflected in the FAA guidance material and certification process.
6.29. States were encouraged to consider the removal of all restrictions to the use of FOI, and assist in the
implementation of a performance based communication concept for RCP and RSP.
6.30. IATA commented that no business case or modeling had been done; however, it may now be
possible to identify benefits for these capabilities and consider requirements for the future.
6.31. A new Action Item CP11-01 was opened to reflect this discussion. An update will be provided to
the next meeting.
6.32. NavCanada presented a proposed revision to the TOR for Communications North of 80 North Task
Force (Comm TF). A review had been accomplished regarding the work of the Comm TF. Based on
activities undertaken by other expert groups and recommendations by those groups regarding
communications in the Arctic area, a proposal to amend the terms of reference was presented for
consideration and endorsement by the meeting. The following changes were proposed in order to highlight
the way ahead for the Task Force:
a. Tasks have been added to more clearly define the work to be done;
b. Information exchanges with other technical communications groups are recommended, to
include the PARC CWG and the Inter-Regional Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Voice
Ad Hoc Task Force;
c. The Task Force will monitor the status of the recommendations made by the PARC CWG to
the FAA regarding FOI and the performance based concept; and
d. Wider participation by IATA, airlines, and industry representatives is requested to provide
appropriate technical expertise.
6.33. The proposed TOR (Appendix D) were approved by the meeting.
6.34. States, airlines and industry were called on to nominate technical subject matter experts to the
Comm TF and provide names to Leslie McCormick (lmccormick@cssiinc.com). NavCanada will provide
CPWG/12 with an update on work underway by existing technical working groups.
CP10-13: Review communication process for flights entering Magadan FIR via LISKI and PILUN
6.35. During the last meeting, airlines expressed concerns regarding the poor HF over LISKI and PILUN.
The airlines would like to use Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Contract (ADS-C) or controller pilot
data link communications (CPDLC).
8
6.36. State ATM explained that Magadan ACC only has one ADS-C/CPDLC workstation in the oceanic
sector, and that the primary means of communication was still HF. However, Magadan was considering
adding another ADS-C/ CPDLC workstation. Contract discussions were ongoing and technical
requirements were being developed. The new workstation would be expensive, but they would be willing to
make the investment in order to provide better flight safety. No firm target dates were available. State ATM
will provide an update to the next meeting.
6.37. United Airlines expressed appreciation for this good news, commenting that communications
through ADS/CPDLC would enhance the operation.
Improve Efficiencies
CP01-18: Manage Gateway Reservation List (GRL) compliance
6.38. FAA presented information regarding the procedures for track loading of fixes entering the
Murmansk, Magadan, and P-K FIRs from the Anchorage FIR, as well as a copy of the 10 February 2011
Track Advisory Users Guide for Dispatchers (TAUG).
6.39. The northernmost Polar fixes (DEVID, NALIM, RAMEL, NIKIN, and ORVIT) are track loaded
and managed by the FAA ATCSCC. The ATCSCC coordinates with Canadian traffic flow managers to
create spacing to these fixes. While the longitudinal separation standard is 10 minutes, the Polar fixes had
been track loaded at 15 minutes in-trail at each altitude since the implementation of the Canadian Automated
Air Traffic System (CAATS).
6.40. State ATM was surprised to learn that NavCanada had increased the in-trail spacing to 20 minutes
during CAATS implementation. NavCanada apologized that State ATM had not been informed directly at
that time, but did add that this temporary change had been briefed to the CPWG at CPWG/10. NavCanada
confirmed that all Polar fixes were now provided 15 minutes in-trail spacing.
6.41. ZAN Traffic Management Unit (TMU) track loads and manages the fixes into the RTE. The two
northernmost of these fixes are PILUN and LISKI. ZAN TMU also track loads and manages the remaining
seven fixes (FRENK, KUTAL, VALDA, ERNIK, RUSOR, BESAT (track loaded via MARCC), and
BAMOK). Radar and VHF coverage to the FIR boundary provided greater flexibility in creating spacing
and accommodating altitude requests at most of these fixes, with the exception of BAMOK and BESAT.
6.42. The GRL is a tool used to assist dispatchers in their flight planning for flights transiting the RTE
and Cross Polar routes, and to provide air traffic facilities with early intent information. Dispatchers were
reminded that, until time of departure, they should update the information provided on the GRL for all
planned flights by submitting a new TKF request as outlined in the TAUG. To provide for more dynamic
system awareness, operators may revise their GRL information including any changes to the wheels-up
time, requested altitude, or estimate at the gateway fix, at any time after departure. If further assistance is
required, the customer may contact the ATCSCC or ZAN TMU as outlined in the TAUG.
6.43. Two changes would be published in the next update to the TAUG:
a. Fix NALIM is now added with 15 mins in-trail spacing; and
b. The new ATCSCC international desk phone number is +1 540-422-4158.
6.44. ZAN also provided information on the track load results from Dec 2010. Close to 50 percent of the
aircraft were no more than 10 minutes off their requested times.
9
6.45. NavCanada reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of 10 minute and 15 minute in-trail spacing
and invited the meeting to consider whether the in-trail spacing should be reduced to 10 minutes or kept at
15 minutes permanently. Following a discussion on this topic, a consensus of the airlines agreed that the
routes should be track loaded with 10 minutes in-trail spacing. It was noted that the implementation of
RVSM would provide other separation options and eliminate concerns about a loss of longitudinal
separation. FAA and NavCanada will continue discussions about returning to 10 minutes in-trail. State
ATM asked to be kept informed on the outcome of the discussions. Action Item CP11-02 was opened to
reflect this.
CP04-31: Implement use of radar procedures between Magadan ACC and ZAN
6.46. State ATM advised the meeting that there had been some delays on Providenia Radar. The radar
had been manufactured and was with the supplier; however, the work on construction site had not started
due to some legal issues. State ATM Corp was hoping to resolve these issues soon and therefore rescheduled
the target date to late 2012. An update will be provided to the next meeting.
CP04-35: Shorten and simplify Form “R” and filing process
6.47. State ATM reported on behalf of FATA that new aviation rules on planning were developed and
submitted for approval by the Russian Ministry of Transport. FATA was working with IATA on
improvements to the Form R process. Once those rules are developed, procedures would be finalized. FATA
will provide a further update at next meeting.
CP05-44: Route development and coordination with China
6.48. State ATM presented information on the outcomes of the recent Russia-China ATM Working Group
meeting held 19-20 May 2011 in Beijing, China. The meeting had reviewed the following issues:
a. preparation of a proposed bilateral intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the area of
civil aircraft search and rescue;
b. opening of new entry/exit fixes at the Russia-China boundary:
c. RVSM implementation in Russia and RVSM operations in China; and
d. departure delays of Russian airline flights out of Beijing and Shanghai.
6.49. State ATM and the Air Traffic Management Bureau (ATMB) of China reported on joint efforts to
establish a new ATS route to facilitate the Cross Polar operations. Russia and China will implement a new
westbound international route (R213) from Jiamusi - MAGIT (N4741.31 E13109.00) - N4809.5 E13131.6 -
N5340.6 E13726.1 - NILOT – Balagannoye on 20 Oct 2011. The exiting route G212 via ARGUK (from
JMU to ARGUK – UHHH) will be changed to eastbound traffic only.
6.50. State ATM also proposed to open a new entry/exit point east of SIMLI. This proposal was
positively received by ATMB, but it was suggested that this issue be reviewed again after both sides have
time to thoroughly analyze the existing and predicted traffic density via SIMLI.
6.51. The next Working Group meeting will be held in Sanya, China.
6.52. United Airlines commented that these changes should help the traffic situation, but expressed
concern that the 20 Oct implementation date would be only ten days from the date of the airline winter
schedules. State ATM advised the airlines to include MAGIT in their winter schedule requests and show an
effective date of 20 Oct.
10
6.53. State ATM and ATMB will provide an update on the outcome of the implementation to CPWG/12.
CP06-02: Ocean 21/Arctic FIR
6.54. ZAN presented information on the plan to expand the use of the Ocean 21 Oceanic Automation
System within Anchorage Center’s airspace. The enhancement was tentatively scheduled for late 2012 or
early 2013.
6.55. Phase 1 will move all the High Area controllers at ZAN onto a common automation platform. It will
create a common Ocean 21 airspace between Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZOA) and ZAN.
This will allow for a more seamless transition of aircraft flying to North Pacific (NOPAC) and the RTE from
the west coast of the United States. It will allow for the continuous use of 50 NM distance-based
longitudinal separation between ZOA and ZAN and 30 NM distance-based reduced longitudinal separation
when approved for use in ZAN airspace. This should also accommodate an increase in the use of User
Preferred Routes (UPRs) in Sectors 68 and 69 and possibly eliminate some of the restrictions on where
aircraft enter Sector 68.
6.56. Phase 2 of the plan will establish Ocean 21 Sector 64 in the Anchorage Arctic FIR. The Phase 2
transition date is tentatively scheduled to occur two months after the Phase 1 transition date. Phase 2 will
move ATC operations from the old paper strip and manual plotting of flights to a graphical presentation of
flights on the controller displays and flight tracking via flight plan extrapolation and automated processing
of position reports using HF, CPDLC and ADS-C. ZAN will also have use of the Ocean 21 conflict probe
tool in this airspace which should allow for a further reduction in current ATC restrictions.
6.57. The business case, the Safety Risk Management Document and the adaptation work had been
completed, and the system was ready to begin testing. Updates will be provided to future meetings.
CP06-12: Tactical re-routes
6.58. It was agreed during the ANSPs meeting that no further tactical re-route trials would be conducted.
FAA and State ATM discussed a proposal for new procedures for tactical re-routes. The proposal was based
on procedures in use between the FAA and JCAB, wherein an LOA between facilities defines clearance
limits, routes, reduced coordination procedures, and phraseology for a tactical re-route. State ATM
accepted the proposal for review and will update the next meeting.
6.59. NavCanada presented some common scenarios that occur in Edmonton FIR and suggested that the
addition of new fixes would make tactical re-routes easier and more viable. The shorter distances between
the current and new fixes would mean that most flights should be able to take a re-route if needed or
requested. NavCanada will continue to identify conflicts and make re-route recommendations to airlines.
NavCanada continues to support all efforts by the FAA and State ATM to make the tactical re-route process
easier, and more efficient, for all parties involved.
6.60. IATA commented on the NavCanada presentation, stating that the premise – that more boundary
fixes would create more options – was good. With the implementation of RVSM, there will be more levels
available as well.
CP07-02: Add additional entry/exit fixes on the FIR boundaries
6.61. FAA proposed two new fixes, one between NALIM and RAMEL, and another south of ORVIT.
Continental Airlines expressed concerns regarding the proposal. FAA and NavCanada will review the
proposed fixes in light of the airline concerns and update CPWG/12.
11
CP07-06: Opening of new routes south of ABERI
6.62. FAA implemented the segment from NALIM to IRMAK on 16 Dec 2010. Action Item CP07-06
was closed.
CP08-03: Establish ATS Route Catalog
6.63. State ATM presented the updated ATS Route Catalogue to the meeting. All routes proposed during
CPWG/10 had been included, along with status. State ATM informed the meeting that in the past, they had
been able to establish new routes by NOTAM. Now they are required to establish routes by amendments to
the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), which are published on the basis of respective Decrees of
the Russian Ministry of Transport. They were in the process of requesting approval for new routes from the
Ministry of Transport, and expressed appreciation to the airlines for their understanding during the transition
to the new process.
6.64. The FAA updated the meeting on the trial using the ICAO Route Development Group East (RDGE)
On-line Route Planning Tool. State ATM agreed to work either with the on-line data base or continue to
maintain the current document. The FAA has started to input the information into the Route Planning Tool.
Continental Airlines commented that it was helpful to have all the routes in one place to analyze.
6.65. State ATM will continue to maintain the current document during the trial and will present an
update to CPWG/12. FAA and State ATM will continue review of the Route Planning Tool and report to the
next meeting.
CP08-06: Provide additional connections to current airways
6.66. State ATM agreed to review the proposal for connector routes from KURAK to ODANA and from
KURAK to KONIK. Implementation dates were not confirmed. State ATM will report to CPWG/12.
CP08-07: Implement Dynamic Ocean Tracking System Plus (DOTS+) On-line (DPO)
6.67. FAA confirmed that they continue to support DPO. Only one airline had requested access since
CPWG/10. Airlines wishing to access DPO should contact Susan Horn at Susan.E.Horn@faa.gov.
6.68. United Airlines reported that they have the capability to use DPO, but not the training to get
dispatchers to use it. They anticipated more use within a year. Delta Airlines has used DPO for nine
months, and likes the tool, however, there are issues with it timing out.
6.69. The airlines would like to add further capabilities to DPO as was originally envisioned, be it with
DPO or some other internet-based application, and commented that it was much easier to use than DOTS+.
Concerns were expressed about the need to access DPO through a Virtual Private Network (VPN). FAA
agreed to provide further information to CPWG/12.
CP08-08: Additional fixes west of BAMOK
6.70. ZAN reported that they had created two fixes along the FIR boundary with P-K ACC:
a. The fix ALAXE was published at 5141.2N 16239.1E between NUZAN (R220) and RIMLI
(B932) to allow an airway to be published after RVSM is implemented.
12
b. Another fix on the common FIR boundary is MITTN, which is established at 5325.0N
16712.6E and will be published on 30 June 2011. MITTN is located between NYMPH (R220)
and PETIN (south of G583 on a line that crosses B932).
c. ZAN has reserved the fix name ZBNKO for possible use at the point that the MITTN to PETIN
line crosses B932 (5321.6N 16218.4E).
6.71. State ATM is planning to implement these routes on 17 Nov 2011. An additional fix is in
negotiation at 5005.0N 15900.0E to allow transition to B932. Implementation of this fix will require further
discussions since it is on the corner of ZAN/P-K/Fukuoka FIR boundaries.
CP08-09: Expansion of westbound use of FL360
6.72. The ANSPs agreed that further expansion of westbound use of FL360 was no longer needed due to
the pending implementation of RVSM in Russian airspace. Action Item CP08-09 was closed.
CP08-12: Eliminate restrictions where possible
6.73. FAA advised the meeting that ZAN had updated their International NOTAM to allow less restrictive
UPR routings on 17 Mar 2011, and that Oakland FIR had reduced restrictions on flex track generation.
6.74. Korean Airlines had voiced concerns about the requirement to file over RESUM then to RAMEL.
ZAN issued International NOTAM A0087/11 which allows flights in either direction to file between
8330.00N & RESUM when crossing 141W.
6.75. FAA will continue to provide updates on restrictions at future meetings.
CP08-13: Conduct trial of step climb procedure
6.76. NavCanada presented information on the step climb trial that began in the Fall of 2009. Prior to
2008, the Air Traffic Control Manual of Operations (ATC MANOPS) phraseology ―AT PILOT’S
DISCRETION‖ could mean either ―proceed at your own responsibility,‖ or ―proceed when it is convenient
to do so.‖ The phrase had more than one meaning which had, on occasion, caused confusion. In 2008, ATC
MANOPS was revised so that the term ―AT PILOT’S DISCRETION‖ was reserved exclusively for use in
situations where the pilot is to take responsibility and proceed at his or her own peril.
6.77. In 2008, ―WHEN READY‖ phraseology replaced ―AT PILOT’S DISCRETION‖ phraseology in
situations where the pilot was offered the option to initiate an action when convenient. The corresponding
Transport Canada Aeronautical Information Manual (TC AIM) amendment, however, included a definition
of ―WHEN READY‖ that allowed pilots to level off in conjunction with a clearance to climb or descend.
This amendment was later adopted into ATC MANOPS as a result of the UAE request in the fall of 2009.
6.78. In an upcoming TC AIM amendment ―CRUISE CLIMB‖ will replace ―WHEN READY‖ in
situations where the pilot is offered the option to level off at intermediate altitudes. Aeronautical Information
Circulars informing pilots of the changes will be published. All differences between ATC MANOPS and the
TC AIM pertaining to this matter will then be eliminated. The new definitions of ―WHEN READY‖ and
―CRUISE CLIMB‖ are congruent with the ICAO definitions.
6.79. NavCanada was in the final phases of the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)
portion of this study. Issues that were being further analyzed included internal strip writing procedures,
differences between radar and non-radar applications of this procedure, and how to integrate symbology and
13
programming into CAATS. The successful resolution of these outstanding issues should result in the future
use of ―CRUISE CLIMB‖ procedures in all NavCanada units.
6.80. State ATM held initial discussions with Emirates Airlines on a trial of the step climb procedure in
Russian airspace, and asked NavCanada to provide information on phraseology and procedures.
6.81. Emirates Airlines reported that there had been no change since the last meeting. They continue to
work on standardization of procedures and crew training. They noted that the procedure had shown nominal
fuel savings.
6.82. NavCanada agreed to continue to work with Emirates on the procedures. Isavia reported that they
were also ready to establish cruise climb procedures.
6.83. Updates will be provided to the next meeting.
CP09-02: Implement new optional routing from ORVIT to Japan
6.84. State ATM advised that the route proposal presented by Continental Airlines from ORVIT to
LUMIN (ORVIT..75N170E.. 65N153E.. BANOT.B223.LUMIN) was still under consideration, and asked
that Continental Airlines provide more information on the traffic and use of the proposed route. Update to
be presented at CPWG/12.
CP09-03: Add transitions between various Polar routes to enable optimization of winds and efficiencies of
operations
6.85. State ATM added the new transitions from Cross Polar routes to the ATS Route Catalogue and their
study was underway:
a. DEVID B480
Transition route from DEVID to join G493 and G491 at GIKSI (N71 41.7 E128 54.0)
b. RAMEL G491
Transition from RAMEL to TAKUN (G226)
Transition from PETUL to RUTIN (G226)
Transition from UNELI to HA (G226)
c. NIKIN G226
Transition from NIKIN to UNELI (G491)
Transition from TAKUN to TIGLA (G491)
Transition from HA to TETKA (G491)
d. ORVIT G494
Transition from ORVIT to TAKUN (G226)
Transition from DILSA to RUTIN (G226).
6.86. State ATM requested traffic forecasts for these transition routes from the interested airlines to
support the review process. An update will be presented to CPWG/12.
CP09-05: Discrepancies regarding Jeppesen chart waypoints
6.87. NavCanada reported that they had named the waypoints and updated the database. Action Item
CP09-05 was closed.
14
CP10-02: Provide flow constraint information to Continental Airlines
6.88. State ATM reported that the capacity is at or slightly over maximum. They will provide additional
information on flow constraints to Continental and United Airlines in order that the airlines may consider
whether they need to adjust schedules. An update will be provided to the next meeting.
CP10-03: Consider mixed fleet capabilities in the delivery of future operational efficiencies
6.89. IATA informed the meeting that the PBN certification database was still under development and
testing, and should be completed in 2012. IATA will present an update to CPWG/13.
CP10-04: Consider establishing additional fixes in a “core area” of Edmonton FIR based on Great Circle
Routes
6.90. NavCanada’s proposal for new fixes in a ―core area‖ east of the Russian boundary is on hold. An
update will be presented at CPWG/13.
CP10-06: Pacific Project
6.91. Representatives have been identified to support the work associated with the Pacific Project. Action
Item CP10-06 was closed.
CP10-07: Pacific Project
6.92. The first meeting of Pacific Project Team was convened during CPWG/11. IATA presented an
overview of the project, and reminded participants that the objective was the enablement of UPR as the
primary means of navigation for all flights between North America and Asia. The Team noted that this
project was not an effort to change what is ongoing, but an effort to leverage off what is being done. IATA
recognized that this would be a medium to long term project over the next five to seven years.
6.93. Proposed TOR were agreed by the Team and presented to CPWG/11. The meeting approved the
TOR as proposed. (Appendix E)
6.94. United Airlines commented that the NOPAC flexible route system had been in place for over 30
years. Since it was developed, the dynamics have changed and it is now a constraint to the system. A
review of all current traffic flows associated with the NOPAC was suggested. Studies on free flow scenarios
have been conducted by United Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airlines.
6.95. The Team agreed that the first product should be a robust gap analysis, wherein the following would
be reviewed:
a. Current communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) capabilities and procedures
b. Existing plans
c. Identify fundamental regulatory limitations and constraints
d. Measurement of capacity vs. separation – need to determine sector capacity and what gains
could be made if we reduce separation
e. Determine when UPR no longer is a preferred solution – more penalty than benefit overall
6.96. Stakeholders were asked identify current CNS/ATM capabilities and procedures focusing on what
impacts traffic on these flows, put together existing and tentative plans, and identify fundamental
15
limitations/constraints. IATA agreed to work with the FAA to develop and distribute a template for ANSPs
to document information. Action Item CP10-07 was closed and new Action Item CP11-03 was opened to
reflect this initial work.
CP10-14: Provide information on the status of airports for diversions
6.97. State ATM polled each of the en-route alternative airports and provided a brief overview of recent
developments at those airports in the Russian Federation.
6.98. United Airlines thanked State ATM for this information which they will include in their database.
Continental Airlines requested additional information on Murmansk Airport. State ATM asked the airlines
to provide a list of other airports for which they need information in order that the needed information can
be presented at CPWG/12.
New Action Item CP11-04: Add new routes/transitions to enable optimization of winds and efficiencies of
operations
6.99. Continental Airlines presented proposals for additional access and development of new routes and
airways for flights from India to North America and North America to China. The new routes proposed
were:
a. Additional access off Airway G108 to 76N035E and 78N035E;
b. Conversion of W98 and W104 to International Airway status to connect to DEVID;
c. New options:
i. at 76N and 78N for flights to India and China;
ii. India via approved airways to GIMON then to 76N035E;
iii. India via approved airways to GIMON then to 78N035E;
d. 78N035E direct ANODI to assist with flights from North America to China;
e. Indian sub-continent to the USA via ABERI and DEVID; and
f. Airways W104 TARSA to NOR and W98 from DOSON to KUTET be considered for
International Airway status as a more efficient option to G490 and DEVID.
6.100. Continental was asked to provide traffic forecast information for the proposed route segments.
State ATM will add the proposals to the ATS Route Catalogue, undertake a review, and report at the next
meeting.
New Action Item CP11-05: Minimize the impact due to restricted area UNR 1206
6.101. Cathay Pacific Airlines presented information on the impact of Polar routes via LETBI due to the
restricted area UNR1206 in Irkutsk FIR and requested alternate routes for flight via MORIT into China’s
airspace.
6.102. When restricted area UNR1206 is activated, routes via LETBI cannot be planned and SERNA B520
POLHO is the only route for flights via ABERI and DEVID. Although UNR1206 was sometimes
subsequently cancelled, this generally occurred too late for the flight to be re-planned as they had often
already departed.
6.103. With the newly commissioned boundary points, PIREL and MAGUN, and corresponding airways,
R705 and R706 in Russian airspace, routing via LETBI would likely become more advantageous. Due to
the basic trajectory of the Polar traffic, an alternative route west of the restricted area with the associated
connectors established would be preferable rather than the current deviation via SERNA.
16
6.104. Cathay Pacific requested that State ATM consider dynamic use of routes via UNR 1206.
6.105. State ATM shared the concerns expressed by Cathay Pacific Airlines. They will review this
proposal and provide an update to the next meeting.
Contingency Response
CP02-27: Develop Contingency Plan
6.106. FAA presented an updated draft Arctic ATM Operational Contingency Plan. State ATM reported
that they were translating their input for the Plan and would have the translated material completed by July
2011.
6.107. FAA will compile the final draft document for presentation to CPWG/12.
CP08-02: Respond to Volcanic Ash Event
6.108. FAA updated the meeting on the operational telcons between the ATCSCC, MATMC and JCAB Air
Traffic Management Center (ATMC). FAA and State ATM will provide further update on practice telcons to
CPWG/12.
CP10-08: Improved Contingency Collaboration between State ATM and JCAB
6.109. JCAB and State ATM provided an update on the LOA for operational contingency procedures,
which contains procedures for information sharing and coordination in case of adverse effects on
international traffic flows, especially within the NOPAC airspace. Coordination of the final draft LOA was
in progress, and it was anticipated that the LOA would be signed in Fall 2011. If a contingency event
happens in the interim, JCAB ATMC and the MATMC would contact each other based on the exchanged
points of contact included in the LOA.
6.110. State ATM thanked JCAB for their cooperation in this matter. An update will be presented to
CPWG/12.
CP10-09: ICAO/World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Seminar and Task Force Meeting
6.111. JCAB introduced information on the discussions regarding volcanic ash at the ICAO/WMO Asia
Pacific Meteorology/Air Traffic Management (MET/ATM) Seminar and the 2nd Meeting of the MET/ATM
Task Force which were held in Fukuoka, Japan 24-28 January 2011.
6.112. The Seminar had reaffirmed the importance of a crisis management plan for volcanic ash. The 2nd
Meeting of the MET/ATM Task Force agreed to establish a regional contingency plan taking into account
the work of the ICAO International Volcanic Ash Task Force (IVATF).
6.113. The meeting agreed to close Action Item CP10-09.
Update of the CPWG Action Item List
6.114. The meeting reviewed and updated the Action Item List, which is provided at Appendix F.
17
7. Agenda Item 5: 2011-2012 Cross Polar Work Program
7.1. The meeting discussed the 2011-2012 Work Program, and agreed to continue focus on the
following items:
a. Improving communications in the Arctic area;
b. Progressing a single separation standard for the Arctic airspace; and
c. Improving/Increasing efficiencies and predictability on Cross Polar and Trans-East Routes.
7.2. The meeting reviewed and updated the CPWG Planning Chart, which is at Appendix G.
8. Agenda Item 6: Communications, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS) and Air Traffic
Management (ATM) issues
Outline of the Situation and Problems Caused by the 11 March 2011 Earthquake - JCAB
8.1. JCAB described the unprecedented earthquake and resulting tsunami which occurred on 11
March 2011, devastating the eastern part of Japan, including Sendai Airport. When the event occurred,
the air traffic controllers at Narita Airport took refuge from the control tower because the scale of the
earthquake exceeded the limits. After confirming that there was no damage to any facilities in the airport,
the air traffic controllers resumed operations. However, the railroad between Narita Airport and
downtown Tokyo was not operating, so the airport was filled with people who were unable to leave. As a
result, Narita International Airport Corporation decided not to accept arriving aircraft to avoid congestion
exceeding the airport capacity. Twenty-five foreign aircraft bound for Narita Airport had to divert.
Although the ATMC managed the allocation of aircraft for the destination airport, there was confusion
due to the concentration of aircraft arriving from North America at that time.
8.2. On 12 March, JCAB issued a NOTAM to restrict the area around Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant. The area was later changed to a flight prohibited area with a radius of 17NM (30km) of the
power plant. On 16 March, the published flight routes were changed by NOTAM to provide a detour
route around the area. However, some airlines continue to file flight plans routing them far around the
prohibited area, and some pilots request excessive deviations from the issued route of flight and even
refuse to accept radar vectors although they are outside the prohibited area. These situations have
increased the Tokyo ACC workload, resulting in ATMC lowering the capacity of the ACC sectors
concerned by 20 to 25 percent in order to maintain safe operations, resulting in excessive delays for
international and domestic flights.
8.3. JCAB expressed their concern to the meeting about the present situation which adversely affects
the efficiency of the traffic, and requested all airlines operating in Fukuoka FIR to file flight plans in
accordance with the published recommended routes.
Update on Edmonton FIR - NavCanada
8.4. NavCanada provided an update on the activities in the Edmonton FIR, which focused on the
Yukon Random Route Trial, flight planning requirements for the ADS-B coverage area, areas of current
and planned ADS-B coverage, and future projects.
8.5. State ATM asked for information on the status of the Canadian elliptical satellite, which had been
briefed at previous meetings in relation to the Comm TF. NavCanada agreed to follow up and provide an
update for CPWG/12.
18
CAATS Efficiency Gains in Polar Operations – NavCanada
8.6. NavCanada noted that three main efficiency gains in Polar operations had been identified as an
outcome of the introduction of CAATS. Those gains were:
a. Reduction of longitudinal separation standard from 15’ to 10’ in most instances;
b. Automated estimate passing; and
c. Introduction of the ―Planning function.‖
Anchorage Update – FAA
8.7. FAA briefed the meeting on updates in Anchorage airspace including the new TED VOR at
Anchorage Airport, optimized profile descents, ADS-B service volumes, Yakutat radar coverage,
improved efficiencies, new fixes west of BAMOK, traffic counts and fix distribution.
Russian Airspace Improvements – State ATM
8.8. State ATM presented information on facility consolidation, and the status of various
improvements to the Russian airspace structure, as well as detailed information on traffic counts and
traffic density in Russian airspace.
8.9. In order to meet user demand and revised requirements to the distance between parallel tracks in
Anchorage airspace, State ATM opened up Cross Polar Route 6 (G212: NALIM – CALAK – OLEMU –
RULAT) effective from 18 January 2011. Air Canada and United Airlines had championed the use of
this route.
8.10. The ANODI – ABERI segment was submitted for approval by the Russian Ministry of Transport.
The target date for its opening is the third quarter of 2011 after the LOA between Murmansk and Bodo is
amended.
8.11. Cross Polar Route 7 between RAMEL and NIKIN (8330.0N16858.4W - 7400.7N 13602.5E –
further to: а) HA (Nizhneyansk NDB 7125.0N 13608.0E) – G226; b) GIKSI (7141.7N 12854.0E) – G491
(B489. G493) (bidirectional use) is planned for implementation effective 17 November 2011.
8.12. New transitions from the NOPAC west of BAMOK: NUMPH – UHPP, NUZAN – RIMLI,
BAGLI (N500500 E1590000) – OTLER (N494811 E1535843) are planned for implementation effective
17 November 2011.
8.13. Continental Airlines requested charts with the new Russian FIR boundary fixes. State ATM
agreed to try to develop charts to share with the airlines. New Action Item CP11-06 was opened to
reflect this.
Khabarovsk Consolidated ATM Center – State ATM
8.14. State ATM provided information on the Khabarovsk Consolidated ATM Center, which controls
the airspace over the RFE and Sea of Japan areas. The Center was developed considering prevailing
factors, especially crossing traffic and the Trans-East, Trans-Siberian and Cross Polar routes. Effective
21 Sept 2011, Khabarovsk Consolidated ATM Center will begin full operations over a segment of
airspace that is approximately 2000 km south to north and 2000 km east to west.
19
AZIMUT Company
8.15. AZIMUT Company presented information on their role as a supplier of ATC equipment, landing
systems, voice communication technologies and new digital radio technologies.
Russian Institute for Powerful Radio Construction
8.16. The Russian Institute for Powerful Radio Construction described their extensive experience in
designing and developing HF radio equipment, including certified radio non-direction radio stations with
antenna feeder devices, which could be a stand-alone operation or a part of larger complexes.
Update – Isavia
8.17. Isavia presented their traffic figures for the first months of 2011, and noted that volcanic
eruptions were continuing in Iceland. They are trying to use additional means to keeping Icelandic
airports open, and will provide input on their experiences to an ICAO international volcanic meeting in
July. Efforts are underway to revise procedures prior to the next eruption.
8.18. Isavia also informed the meeting that there would be a delay in implementation of the ADS-B
stations across Greenland.
Update – Avinor
8.19. Avinor presented an overview of the Bodo FIR airspace and ATS. Traffic counts for 2010 had
increased traffic over 2009. It was noted that Bodo was not data link equipped for CPDLC, however,
they have a contract with ARINC to get automatic position reports. Most of their oceanic airspace has
VHF radio coverage and good radar coverage. A new oceanic ATM system with CPDLC and ADS-C
capabilities has been approved which is planned for implementation in 2013.
8.20. In Nov 2011, there will be a realignment of routes that will provide better efficiency for the traffic
between Japan and Western Europe.
Introduction of Air Traffic Management Bureau - ATMB
8.21. ATMB provided information on the structure of their ATM system and airspace, flexible use of
entry/exit points, and Polar route operations. Boundary fixes SIMLI, ARGUK, POLHO, MORIT and
SADLI (AKARA – FUKUE corridor) had been in use since 2003 with an extended range of operations
since July 2007. For the European – Southeast Asia operations, MORIT, SARIN, RULAD and GOPTO
had been available since October 2010. Regulations and procedures for new entry/exit points are to be
released soon.
8.22. PBN has been implemented in Sanya FIR (RNP 10) and western China (RNP 4). The 2010
traffic was up 11.59% over 2009. ATMB has recognized that there are capacity problems, and they will
open the China Airspace Research Center in 2012 to analyze capacity and system development.
Kazaeronavigatsia - Kazakhstan
8.23. Kazaeronavigatsia was established in 1995 by the Republican State Enterprise. Information was
provided on the operational units, airspace structure, and CNS/ATM capabilities. Kazaeronavigatsia will
participate in RVSM implementation on 17 Nov 2011 using ICAO flight levels.
20
8.24. It was noted that Mongolia had reported that they might use the Chinese RVSM levels. Further
discussions on RVSM were planned for June between the ATMB and Mongolia.
Update – Emirates Airlines
8.25. Emirates Airlines provided the meeting with an update on their fleet, destinations and Polar
flights.
9. Agenda Item 7: Other Business
Proposals by State ATM for CPWG membership
9.1. State ATM proposed that the meeting invite ATMB to be a permanent member of the CPWG.
The proposal was unanimously agreed by the meeting. ATMB stated that they were very willing to join
and continue their participation.
9.2. State ATM further proposed that CPWG invite Kazaeronavigatsia to attend future meetings as an
observer. The meeting agreed to the proposal.
9.3. FAA agreed to amend the CPWG TOR and present them to CPWG/12 for approval. New Action
Item CP11-07 was opened to reflect this.
Aircraft performance request – NavCanada
9.4. Edmonton ACC reported that they frequently encounter ―anomalies‖ in aircraft performance.
This is typically seen in Polar operations, which are commonly at the extreme edge (range and altitude) of
aircraft performance. Scenarios were presented, and technical feedback was requested from the airlines.
This information would be used for ATC training purposes.
9.5. Airlines were invited to provide input to NavCanada. It was agreed that no new action item
would be opened in this regard.
10. Agenda Item 8: Next Meeting
CPWG/12: Fall 2011
10.1 IATA offered to host the next meeting at their offices in Beijing, China, and proposed the dates of
14-18 Nov and 5-9 Dec 2011. The ANSPs discussed the options during their meeting and preferred 5-9
Dec due to the implementation of RVSM in Russian airspace on 17 Nov.
10.2 The meeting agreed to hold CPWG/12 in Beijing on 5-9 Dec 2011. It was also agreed to keep the
current schedule to allow time for the Pacific Project Meeting.
CPWG/13: Spring 2012
10.3 FAA and Isavia offered to host CPWG/13. IATA commented that travel to Iceland would be
difficult for airlines and may affect participation. Following a discussion, a consensus was reached that
the CPWG/13 meeting would be held in Iceland.
21
10.4 Specific dates were not discussed, however, the meeting would be held in the May/June
timeframe. Anyone aware of any conflicting meetings was asked to notify Leah.
CPWG/14: Fall 2012
10.5 A brief discussion on hosting of CPWG/14 was held. NavCanada and FAA both indicated that
they would be able to host.
11. Closing of the Meeting

Cross Polar Trans-East ATM Working Group
Terms of Reference
Introduction
The Cross Polar Trans-East Air Traffic Management (ATM) Working Group (CPWG) provides a forum
to improve the provision of air traffic services (ATS) to aircraft which operate between North America
and Asia via Cross Polar and Russian Trans East routes. The CPWG shall be composed of Air
Navigation Service (ANS) provider representatives from Russia, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Japan and the
United States (US) and representatives from international organizations representing airspace operator
groups (e.g., the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Business Aviation
Council (IBAC)) who operate in the subject airspace.
Although the CPWG will focus primarily on Cross Polar and Trans-East airspace issues, in order to
promote seamless, efficient and safe ATS, representatives from other organizations and ANS providers,
including, but not limited to China and Mongolia may also be invited to participate in CPWG activities,
as appropriate.
The CPWG is cognizant of other international bodies, both long standing as well as newly formed, which
share many of its concerns and goals. The CPWG is committed to working cooperatively with these
groups and is prepared to share its expertise as, and when, requested. Correspondence between the
groups will include the dissemination of CPWG meeting minutes to ensure thorough coordination of
efforts.
Purpose and Scope of Work
The CPWG addresses Cross Polar and Russian Trans East aviation issues focusing on continued
improvements to operational efficiency through enhanced coordination, harmonized procedures and
implementation of new technologies. Members work cooperatively to accomplish the WG activities,
which may include:
1. Promotion of ATM and/or communications, navigation, surveillance (CNS) initiatives and
associated technologies designed to improve safety, increase operational and economic efficiency
and/or capacity, and harmonize ANS;
2. Harmonized implementation of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM);
3. Pursuit of new Polar ATS routes and/or tracks with entry/exit points on Flight Information
Region (FIR) boundaries;
4. Development of air traffic flow management (ATFM) procedures designed to improve
capacity/efficiency and overcome existing limitations;
5. Sharing information on plans for enhancing compatibility of air traffic operations and systems;
6. Establishment of the Pacific Project Work Group (PPWG) within CPWG; and
7. Supporting the goals and objectives of associated International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) groups such as the European Air Navigation Planning Group (EANPG), the Asia/Pacific
Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG), the North Atlantic
Systems Planning Group (NAT SPG), the Trans-Regional Airspace and Supporting ATM
Systems Steering (TRASAS) Group, and the Informal Pacific ATS Coordination Group
(IPACG).
