Executive Summary
National ATM Context
Romania is an EU Member State since the 1st January 2007 and a NATO Member State since the 29th March
2004.
The Romanian airspace plays a significant role in the European transportation network of the South-East. Is the
European region which acts as a bridge between North, South, East and West Europe. While air traffic has been
steadily increasing, forecasts predict further higher traffic demand driven by the economic growth in the region,
by the on-going political changes (the EU political enlargement process, the emergence of new areas of
cooperation and commitment – ECAA, the European Common Aviation Area Multilateral Agreement, ratified by
Romania through Law no.328/22.11.2007 published in the Official Journal of Romania Part 1 no.48/22.01.2008)
as well as by the traditional European tourism and business travellers.
The separation between the regulatory and the ATM service provider functions is effectively in place in Romania
since many years now.
The target operational concept established by the Government Decree no. 536/2000, aiming at further reducing
the number of en-route ATC centres to a single one in Bucharest, has been finalised in 2012. As a consequence,
starting 18th October 2012, ROMATSA operates the Bucharest ACC as well as Bucharest APP from the ATC centre
located in Bucharest. Two more APP units are operated by ROMATSA in the Arad and Constanta ATC centres.
In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for
achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-
Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 the Night Free Route Airspace (FRA) Concept has been
successfully implemented within Bucuresti FIR.
In accordance with the provisions of Order of the Minister of Transport no. 1547/2013, since 1st January 2014
the NSA responsibility for security matters from MoT was transferred to RCAA. Also, the full responsibilities for
the provision of Aeronautical Information Services were transferred from RCAA in the administration of
ROMATSA at the same date, through Government Decision 645/2013.
The implementation of cross-border activities within Danube FAB was completed on 11th December 2014 and
is expected to further enhance optimization of the available route network structure. This will bring significant
benefits of fuel savings and emission reduction and will support achievement of the EU-wide capacity and
environmental targets.
As a further step in FRA implementation, Night Free Route Airspace between Bucuresti CTA and Budapest FIR
(N-FRAB) has been implemented starting from the 20th of August 2015. The aircraft operators are no longer
bound to follow the fixed route network, being now able to plan their flights freely between the entry and the
exit points of the airspace of the two countries, based on their needs.
Following the coordination process between ROMATSA, BULATSA and HUNGAROCONTROL, in order to extend
the Night FRA operations between Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, SEEN-FRA – (South East European Night Free
Route) was implemented on 30th of March 2017. The aircraft operators are able to file the route containing as
a minimum the SEEN FRA Entry point, at least one FRA Intermediate point in Bucharest FIR and the SEEN FRA
Exit point.
The expanded SEEN FRA concept implemented on 6th December 2018 represents a further step in optimizing
flight operations in a large volume of airspace expanding towards Bratislava CTA. The night cross-border FRA
operations within the airspaces of Bucuresti CTA, Sofia CTA, Budapest FIR and Bratislava CTA is expected to
provide operational, environmental and cost benefits. In the expanded SEEN FRA area, AOs will continue to be
able to flight plan user preferred trajectories and thereby will obtain benefits from planning and execution of
flights.

Traffic and Capacity
2018
Traffic in Romania increased by 11.1% during Summer 2018 (May to October), when compared to Summer 2017.
2019-2024
The EUROCONTROL Seven-Year forecast predicts an average annual traffic growth between 2.0% and 5.6%
throughout the planning cycle, with a baseline growth of 3.6%.
Performance summer 2018

Average en-route ATFM delay per flight increased from 0.02 minutes per flight in Summer 2017 to 0.20 minutes
per flight in Summer 2018.
69% of the delays were due to the reason Weather and 31% due to ATC capacity.
The ACC capacity baseline was assessed to be at 183 the same level as in Summer 2017. During the measured
period, the peak 1 hour demand was 158 flights and the peak 3 hour demand was 148.
Progress per SESAR Phase
The figure below shows the progress made so far in the implementation of the SESAR baseline and the PCP
elements. The percentage is calculated as an average of the relevant objectives as shown in Chapter 6 (PCP
objectives are marked as such, the rest are considered SESAR baseline); note that two objectives – AOM19.1
and FCM05 – are considered as both part of the SESAR baseline and PCP so their progress contributes to the
percentage of both phases.
The objectives declared ‘Achieved’ in previous editions (up to, and including, ATM MP L3 Edition 2011-2017) are
also taken into account for as long as they were linked to the Level 2 of the ATM Master Plan and implemented
by the State.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) documents, as an integral part of the Master Plan (MP) Level 3
(L3)/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to
achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the MP Level 3 and to improve the performance of their
national ATM System. This LSSIP document describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2018,
together with plans for the next years.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the
State in various international organisations, the organisational structure of the main ATM players - civil and
military - and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, an overview of the Airspace
Organisation and Classification, the ATC Units, the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP are also provided;
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each
ACC in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next
five years. It gives also the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the
planned projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep
the delay at the agreed performance level;
Chapter 3 provides a set of conclusions extracted from the MP L3 Implementation Report 2018, which are
relevant to the State/stakeholders concerned. The State reports how they have handled those conclusions and
the actions taken during the year to address the concerns expressed by those conclusions;
Chapter 4 provides the main Implementation Projects (at national, FAB and regional level) which contribute
directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation
Objectives. Level 1 document covers high level list of the projects showing the applicable links. All other details
like description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas
provided by the State per each project are available in Level 2 document;
Chapter 5 deals with other cooperation activities beyond Implementation Projects. It provides an overview of
the FAB cooperation and also all other regional initiatives which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this
chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the States concerned;
Chapter 6 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation,
implementation per SESAR Key Feature and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition the high-level
information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective is presented. The information for each
Implementation Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation
for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
Level 1 document is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of
tables organised in line with the list of Implementation Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by
the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in
the European ATM Master Plan L3 Implementation Plan Edition 2018. In addition it covers detailed description
of the Implementation Projects for the State as extracted from the LSSIP Data Base.
The information contained in Chapter 6 is deemed sufficient to satisfy State reporting requirements towards ICAO
in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

Airspace Classification and Organisation
ICAO airspace classification is applied within Bucuresti FIR. To be mentioned that starting with 1st of January
2007 since Romania became full EU Member, the EU Regulations concerning airspace classification are
applicable.
Airspace in BUCURESTI FIR is classified according to the provisions of ICAO Annex 11 and in compliance with the
EUROCONTROL Airspace Strategy for ECAC States (OI 1A), as follows:
1. Class C airspace, that comprises:

- All ATS routes in BUCURESTI FIR
- All Aerodrome Control Zones (CTR): Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Băneasa, Otopeni, Cluj, Constanţa,
Craiova, Iaşi, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Târgu Mureş, Timişoara, Tulcea;
- CONSTANŢA TMA, ARAD TMA, NAPOC TMA.
- Airspace in BUCURESTI FIR above FL105.
The ICAO airspace classification of Class C airspace above FL 105 is applicable since Nov. 2003 through joint MoT-
MoD order no 693 – M173/ 2003, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 165/ 2004.The ICAO airspace
classification of Class C airspace below FL 105 is implemented in Romania by joint MoT – MoD Order 53/ 22.01.07
and M20/ 30.01.07, published in the Official Journal of Romania no. 107/13.02.2007.
2. Class A airspace, that comprises: TMA BUCURESTI.
3. Class G airspace, that comprises: all airspace in BUCURESTI FIR not designated with another class and
Restricted Areas; usually is used for general aviation and aerial work operations, Airfields of Sports
Activity.
Free Route Airspace
In the context of the constant effort of the Romanian Air Traffic Services Administration (ROMATSA) for
achieving the aim to provide safest, most efficient and environmental friendly air navigation services in South-
Eastern Europe, as from the 14th of November 2013 within Bucuresti FIR has been implemented the Night Free
Route Airspace (FRA) Concept.
A consultation coordinated by ICAO EUR/NAT Office has been also successfully made at States level, in
accordance with the provisions of Annex 11, paragraph 2.2.2 and the established procedure for the amendment
of the European Air Navigation Plan.

As a further step in FRA implementation, Night Free Route Airspace between Bucuresti CTA and Budapest FIR
(N-FRAB) has been implemented starting from the 20th of August 2015. The aircraft operators are no longer
bound to follow the fixed route network, being now able to plan their flights freely between the entry and the
exit points of the airspace of the two countries, based on their needs.
Following the coordination process between ROMASTA, BULATSA and HUNGAROCONTROL, in order to extend
the Night FRA operations between Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria SEEN-FRA – (South East European Night Free
Route) was implemented on 30th of March 2017. The SEEN FRA implementation was supported by NM. AOs are
able to file the route containing as a minimum the SEEN FRA Entry point, at least one FRA Intermediate point in
Bucharest FIR and the SEEN FRA Exit point.
The expanded SEEN FRA concept implemented on 6th December 2018 represents a further step in optimizing
flight operations in a large volume of airspace expanding towards Bratislava CTA. The night cross-border FRA
operations within the airspaces of Bucuresti CTA, Sofia CTA, Budapest FIR and Bratislava CTA is expected to
provide operational, environmental and cost benefits. In the expanded SEEN FRA area, AOs will continue to be
able to flight plan user preferred trajectories and thereby will obtain benefits from planning and execution of
flights.
General principles of Free Route Airspace operations:
a. Horizontal and vertical limits of the implementation area:

- The lateral limits of SEEN-FRA are defined as the airspace encompassed by the lateral limits
of Budapest CTA, Bucuresti CTA, Sofia CTA and Bratislava CTA.
- The vertical limits of SEEN-FRA are defined as follows:
- FL105 – FL660 in Bucuresti CTA, excluding TMAs, FL 105 – FL245 within sector DF1,
FL245 – FL660 within sector DF2
- 9500FT– FL660 in Budapest CTA
- FL175 – FL660 in Sofia CTA
- FL245 – FL660 in Bratislava CTA

Note:
- for lateral limits of Bucuresti CTA, see AIP Romania ENR 2.1,
- for lateral limits of DF1 and DF2, see AIP Romania ENR 2.2.2
b. Class of airspace:
- SEEN-FRA has been implemented in Class C airspace, with the exception of TMAs and CTRs.
c. FRA Operating hours:

- SEEN-FRA is available from 2300 to 0500 UTC during the winter time period and from 2200
to 0400 UTC during the summer time period.
d. Planning aspects:
- During SEEN-FRA, users will be able to plan user-preferred trajectories through the use of
published FRA relevant waypoints included in ENR 4.4, and relevant Radio Navigation Aids
(ENR 4.1) with or without reference to the published ATS route network, which remains
available during FRA operating hours.
- The access from/ to TMA/ CTR areas are effected using the fixed ATS route network, using
dedicated connection points published in AIP Romania.
- Segments between waypoints will be indicated by means of “DCT” instruction. Within SEEN-
FRA there will be no limitations on the length of “DCT” neither on the number of intermediate
points.
- Cross-Border DCTs are NOT allowed, except over the Romanian-Hungarian border where FRA
Operation is permitted according to the RAD published by EUROCONTROL (see ENR 1.10 for
details).
- During the availability of SEEN-FRA significant points established on the common FIR border
shall be considered as intermediate points.
The planning of DCT segments closer than 3 NM to the SEEN-FRA border is not allowed.
- During the availability of SEEN-FRA, the rules concerning the use of mandatory intermediate
points for traffic inbound LROP prescribed in ENR 3.5.2 shall be applied for the final phase of
flight.
- All Night Free Route operation within SEEN-FRA constraints, exceptions and restrictions, if
any, are published via the RAD and promulgated in accordance with ENR 1.10
e. Reference materials within the national Aeronautical Information Publication:

- IFR significant points and en-route radio navigation aids are published in AIP Romania,
subsections ENR 4.4 and ENR 4.1.

system with a view to informing the general public about the level of safety in civil aviation.

Twice per year, ROMATSA Safety Committee has to assess safety performance of ROMATSA based on reports
issued by Safety and Quality Directorate.
The safety data have been collated and reported to EUROCONTROL in terms of yearly high level safety indicators,
as provided in the Annual Safety Template (AST).
The main strategic action is to improve regular safety performance monitoring and analysis of incidents trends
by:
Implementation of an Automated Safety Reporting System. The system will facilitate the process of reporting,
investigation and dissemination by means of an intranet network using ECCAIRS software. The project (SMART
Project) started in 2005 and it is still under development. ECCAIRS is also being used at the moment accordingly.
Implementation of an Automated Safety Monitoring Tool as a complementary system to the actual human
reporting system.
MoT – ATD/RCAA
 The Air Transport Directorate (DTA), manages the regulatory responsibilities, including drawing up high level
policies for air transport. Economic regulation is performed with participation of MoT’s Economic &
Administrative Directorate.
 By Government Ordinance No.26/2009, as subsequently amended by Law No.55/2010 and Government
Ordinance 17/2018, the Department of Air Transport Investigation, part of the General Directorate of
Control and Accident Transport Investigation (GDoCATI) from MoT has been transformed into the Civil
Aviation Safety Investigation and Analysis Authority (SIAA), public institution with legal personality,
subordinated to MoT. SIAA is the independent body responsible for technical investigations of the civil
aviation accidents and serious incidents, having its own budget. SIAA has become functional with the
promulgation of the Government Decision No.1013/2010 which approved its Regulation of organization and
functioning. The main activity of SIAA is based on Regulation (EU) 996/2010 (for the Civil Aviation Safety
Investigation) and Directive 2003/42/EC (for civil aviation occurrence reporting).
According to Art. 5 of the Aviation Act, Government Decision 405/1993 as modified by Government Decision
645/2013 (establishing the Romanian Civil Aeronautical Authority (RCAA) as an autonomous, independent from
ATM service provision and self-financed organisation) and to some other specific regulations promulgated by
MoT after 1998, most of MoT’s safety and security regulatory responsibilities were delegated in the remit of the
RCAA, such as drafting national regulations (up to the approval of the national specific regulations, which is
undertaken by MoT), issuing specific procedures and instructions to apply the national regulations and the day-
to-day safety supervisory tasks pertaining to ANS provided to GAT.
It should also be noted that economic regulation of ANS is retained by MoT. However, the amendment by Law
399/2005 of the Civil Air Code has introduced the supervisory function in the national regulatory framework, as
required by (EC) Regulation No. 549/2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the Single European
Sky. This enables that the RCAA is designated by MoT as the NSA for Romania for all specific tasks laid down by
SES legislation. Since 1st January 2014, the NSA responsible for security matters was transferred from MoT to
RCAA, through Order of the Minister of Transport no. 1547/2013. The Law 399/ 2005 amending the Air Code of
Romania entered into force since 1st of July 2006 and, starting with July 2006, RCAA has been designated as NSA
for Romania by MoT Order no. 1185/2006, published in the Official Journal of Romania Part I no.
602/12.07.2006. According to this MoT Order, RCAA is designated to perform the roles and responsibilities of a
NSA in compliance with SES legislation. Starting August 2005 several organisational changes have been
implemented within the RCAA, including the full separation (at functional level) of RCAA’s AIS Department (that
used to provide aeronautical information services falling under the SARPs of ICAO Annex 15 - the whole
integrated package of aeronautical information except for the PIBs) from the RCAA departments which fulfill the
role and tasks of the NSA. Since 1st January 2014, the AIS department from RCAA, responsible for providing the
IAIP except PIB was transferred from RCAA to ROMATSA, through Government Decision 645/2013. In Romania,
as EU Member State, all EC Regulations are entirely binding and directly applicable, including SES legislation
which is in force for the time being.

The Romanian Civil Air Code (established by law) provides the general requirements concerning the safety
regulatory approval and oversight of all ATM systems and organisations, and for personnel licensing. The RCAA
covers a wide area of activities, including certification, such as:
 Certification of the ANS service providers in compliance with the SES certification processes required by
the EC regulations. During 2006, RCAA developed an audit programme consistent with the ANSP
certification process within SES as required by the SES (EC) Regulations (No. 549-552/2004) and the
Commission’s Regulation (EC) No. 2096/2005 laying down the Common Requirements for the provision of
air navigation services. At the end of 2006 RCAA issued for ROMATSA the Certificate no 01/ 2006 for air
navigation services provision, with revision number 1 applicable from 1 st January 2007. Further, revision
number 2 applicable from 1 st January 2010, and revision number 3 applicable from 5th of November 2011
were issued. A second certificate no. CN 07/2012, with Revision No. 1 applicable from 18 th of February
2014, was issued with validity until 15.12.2018 and which includes the provision of Aeronautical
Information Services transferred from the RCAA in the administration of ROMATSA starting 1st of January
2014. Until January 2014, the AIS Dept. within RCAA provided AIS according to following certificates issued:
in June 2007 the Certificate no. 02/ 2007, in June 2008 the Certificate no. 03/2008, in June 2009 the
Certificate no. 04/2009, in June 2011 the Certificate no. 05/2011, in June 2012 the Certificate no. 06/2012,
and in July 2013 the Certificate no. 08/2013. In December 2018, the third certificate no. CN 09/14.12.2018
was issued in accordance with the provisions of (EU) Regulation no. 1035/2011 with validity until 2024 for
the provision of ATS, CNS, AIS and MET services.
Since January 2007, RCAA has started to annually monitor the ongoing compliance of the air navigation
service providers with all the applicable requirements and conditions attached to their certificates.
 for procedures (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments associated with procedures related to
either new functional systems or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual
implementation),
 for the ANS personnel (licensing of air traffic controllers and of some safety significant categories of ATM
technical and engineering personnel, licensing of MET and AIS personnel), and
 for ATM systems/constituents (acceptance by RCAA as NSA of all safety arguments related to either a new
functional system or changes to existing functional systems is necessary before actual implementation).

Airports
General information
Romania’s airport network consists of 16 controlled civil aerodromes – published in AIP Romania, ensuring a
good coverage of all the territory.
From administrative point of view, 4 airports (Bucuresti Henri Coanda Intl. Airport, Bucuresti Baneasa-Aurel
Vlaicu Intl. Airport, Timişoara – Traian Vuia Intl. Airport and Constanta – Mihail Kogalniceanu Intl. Airport) are
considered airports of national interest and are owned by the State, represented by MoT. The other 12 airports
are of local interest and are owned by the local county authorities. All Romanian aerodromes are placed under
RCAA’s safety oversight.
All Romanian civil airports are certified in accordance with (EU) Regulation no.139/2014 requirements.
Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP
Referring to the List of Airports in the European ATM Master Plan Level 3 Implementation Plan Edition 2018 –
Annex 2, it is up to the individual State to decide which additional airports will be reported through LSSIP for
those Objectives.
The airport covered in this LSSIP edition is Bucharest “Henri Coanda“ International Airport (AIHCB).
Military Authorities
The Ministry of National Defence (MoD) represents the State authority for the Air Forces and, in
co-operation with the MoT, ensures the air traffic and the national airspace management at levels 1, 2 and 3.
Starting from July 2002 after approval of the new Civil / Military Regulation (Aeronautical Civil / Military
Romanian Regulation – Airspace Management / Flexible Use of Airspace), concerning the Airspace Management
(ASM) implementation of the Flexible Use of Airspace concept (FUA) in Romania, the Airspace Management
Council (Romanian acronym: CMSA) was set up, having the responsibility of policy establishment and airspace
management at national strategic level.
The Romanian Air Force Staff (ROU AF) represents the main regulatory body (National Military Aeronautical
Authority).The AOC (Air Operations Centre) is the military air traffic services provider for military OAT flights and
is responsible for the provision of separation between OAT and GAT flights. There is a continuous level 2 (pre-
tactical) coordination performed between civil-military Airspace Management Cell regarding the air traffic and
the management of the national airspace.

Tactical coordination is provided through the Military Coordination Offices collocated within the civil ACC
facilities. The AOC includes the Air Defence (AD) and military ATC/ATM entities. The AOC provides ATS only for
the operational air traffic and coordinates the military SAR participation. Foreign military aircraft may operate
within the Romanian Airspace but not on a regular basis and only for training purposes, based upon bi-lateral
agreements.
The military ATC units provide control only to the military OAT and coordination between OAT and GAT flights
and do not provide air traffic control to the GAT flights.
The Civil/Military Coordination is organized at:
• Strategic Level – by the Airspace Management Council (CMSA);
• Pre-Tactical Level – by the Airspace Management Cell;
• Tactical Level – through the Military Coordination Offices collocated with the civil ACC/APP units.
The Military Authorities in Romania consist of the Air Force Staff (ROU AF), which was designated as National
Military Aeronautical Authority. ROU AF reports to the Ministry of National Defence. Their regulatory, service
provision and user role in ATM are detailed below.

the Romanian airspace would allow the maximisation of the use of the north-eastern part of the airspace. This
re-distribution of traffic must be achieved as from summer 2019 to address saturation in Bucharest, Budapest,
Vienna, Karlsruhe and MUAC ACCs.

South-western and Western parts of Bucharest ACC have reached the maximum capacity. On the other hand,
the Northern-eastern part of Bucharest ACC is significantly under-utilised with traffic below the maximum
capacity due to traffic flows distribution in the context of the Black Sea situation.
Provided that a traffic re-distribution through the Romanian airspace would allow the maximisation of the use
of the north-eastern part of the airspace, capacity could further increase in line with expected demand. This re-
distribution of traffic must be achieved as from summer 2019 to address saturation in Bucharest, Budapest,
Vienna, Karlsruhe and MUAC ACCs.
Overall, while addressing complexity of some parts of the airspace remains essential, the plan for Bucharest
ACC, provides currently a positive contribution to network performance in the context of the current routes
distribution.

Free Route Airspace (DFAP2018/A49)
To: December 2019
Status: DANUBE FAB has committed to implementing FAB-wide Free Route Airspace beyond
night time operations by 2019. From 2013-2015, this activity has been supported by
TEN-T funds, culminating in a large-scale Real-Time Simulation which was conducted in
October and November 2015.
The South-East Europe Night Free Route Airspace within Bulgaria, Hungary, and
Romania (SEEN FRA) was implemented on 30 March 2017. SEEN FRA expanded in
December 2018 to include Slovakian airspace (Bratislava CTA), concluding the second
phase of FRA implementation for DANUBE FAB.
The last step of FRA implementation in the DANUBE FAB airspace is the extension of
SEEN FRA to daytime operations (SEE FRA). SEE FRA is scheduled for implementation in
2019 over Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania; Slovakia are to assess joining SEE FRA in the
same period.
Description: Free Route Airspace (FRA) operations implementation in DANUBE FAB as a project
includes, inter alia, actions for the definition of a common operational concept, common
operating and training procedures and development of a safety case for FRA Operations
within DANUBE FAB, to give assurance that provision of ATS in DANUBE FAB, after the
implementation of FRA Operations, will remain at least as safe as today or will improve
safety.

Project included in RP2 Y Name/Code in RP2 FRA - DANUBE FAB
Safety: ++ The effect of FRA implementation on safety was determined according to
the DANUBE FAB FRA real time simulation and the related Safety Case. The
principal safety arguments revealed that FRA implementation in DANUBE
FAB will be acceptably safe
Environment: +++ The FRA implementation will contribute to the EU-wide environment target,
and the optimised use of the European airspace. The extension of Free
Route operations outside the night period by 2019 will generate cost savings
for Airspace Users in terms of distance flown, time taken and fuel consumed,
and will reduce the environmental impact, thus enabling full benefits and
contribution to the EU-wide environmental target.
Capacity: +++ The effect on capacity was determined during the DANUBE FAB FRA Real
Time Simulation in November 2015. Overall, although FRA implementation
led to increased complexity in some areas of the DANUBE FAB airspace, the
controller workload remains at acceptable levels, showing that FRA can be
achieved at no cost in capacity, complexity and controller workload.

Cost-efficiency: +++ The implementation of FRA will contribute towards the achievement of the
EU-wide cost-efficiency target, through maintaining the workload levels and
high throughput. This will make a further contribution towards the
optimised use of airspace.
Operational efficiency: ++ The application of the FRA concept within the DANUBE FAB Airspace will
contribute fully to the EU-wide target of en-route horizontal flight efficiency
and thus to the realization of the SES concept and the achievement of the
pan-European air traffic performance targets.
Cooperation Activities: - Prepare airspace design for free-route airspace (FRA)
- Implement extension of SEE FRA with the participation of other neighbouring
countries
- Implement extension of SEEN FRA to H24 (SEE FRA)

Regional Route Network Developments
Schedule: Implementation of 4 ATS routes – planned for autumn 2019
Status: The process is ongoing.
Implementation of 4 ATS routes as follows: 2 ATS routes between Bucuresti FIR and Kyiv
UIR and 2 ATS routes between Chisinău FIR, Bucuresti FIR and Sofia FIR. The aim of this
project is to improve the ATS route network between Kyiv UIR/ Odessa FIR and Bucuresti
FIR and between Bucuresti FIR, Chisinău FIR and Sofia FIR.
These implementations have been discussed and agreed between the above mentioned
partners in the Route Network Development sub-goup (RNDSG) – EUROCONTROL and in
Route Development Group in SE Region – ICAO. They consist in implementing of 4 new
ATS routes (as it is above mentioned) and/ or changing the direction of some route
segment (i.e from westbound to bidirectional) or changing the minimum flight level of a
certain ATS route. Beside the expected air traffic flow improvement, this will optimize
the flight profile for arrivals or departures to/ from some airports in the region.
Description: Further improvements of ATS network in South-East Europe have been addressed during
the RNDSG, SEERM and RDGE meetings. The main objectives are to review the route
network improvement proposals raised by States, IATA, IACA, ERA and EUROCONTROL.
Within the context of these proposals, Romania is currently improving cooperation on
regional route network development with all its neighbours, as follows: Bulgaria
(BULATSA), Hungary (HungaroControl), Serbia (SMATSA), Ukraine (UkSATSE) and
Moldova (MOLDATSA). This project could be modified taking into account that H24 FRA
operations is planned to enter into operation in CTA Bucuresti in November 2019. In this
is respect, depending on further analysis, the above mentioned number of ATS routes to
be implemented to be modified.

5. Cooperation activities
FAB Co-ordination
The DANUBE FAB is currently under phase 4 – FAB Implementation phase. The State Agreement on the
establishment of the DANUBE FAB between the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania was signed in December 2011
and was ratified by both governments in 2012. The Agreement entered into force on 16 November 2012, thus
ensuring the legal basis for the FAB ahead of the SES deadline.
DANUBE FAB project phases
The DANUBE FAB State Agreement provides the overarching legal framework for the governance of the FAB.
The core bodies are:
Governing Council: provides oversight and approval of key FAB documentation (annual plans,
safety policy, airspace policy, performance plans etc).
NSA Board: provides a formal coordination and an interface between the NSAs involved
in supervisory tasks at DANUBE FAB level.
ANSP Board: oversees implementation of the FAB at the ANSP level via the ANSP
agreement.
Airspace Policy Body: responsible for enhancing the joint civil-military coordination process and for
the flexible use of airspace application within the cross-border airspace.

DANUBE FAB Governance Structure
The ANSP Board is supported in the implementation of the FAB through its working arrangements, including
specialised Standing Committees or other supporting bodies established in accordance with their respective
Rules of Procedures.
The ANSP Board is supported by the Strategy and Planning Standing Committee (SAPSC), which is composed of
ANSP experts for all DANUBE FAB cooperation domains. In turn, SAPSC is supported by the Operations Standing
Committee (OSC) which carries out work in the areas of operations, by the Technical working group and the
Training Board, as well as by the Safety, Quality, Environment and Security Standing Committee (SQSESC).
DANUBE FAB ANSP Working Structure
The Administrative Cell supports the SAPSC and is guided in its work by a set of overarching documents including
the Project Management Plan (including the Communications Plan and Quality Management Plan) as well as the
DANUBE FAB State Agreement and the ANSP Cooperation Agreement.

5.1.1. Work structure
The DANUBE FAB governance structure represents the roles and responsibilities of the involved parties.
However, in order to ensure effective project management, it is essential that the governance structure is
complemented by a clear work structure.
DANUBE FAB Work Structure
5.1.2. Strategy & Planning

In order to meet its objective, DANUBE FAB has developed the Strategic Program, which provides a high level
overview of how and when the strategic objectives are to be achieved. The Strategic Objectives are focussed on
the Key Performance Areas of the RP2 Performance Plan and support elements, to ensure the continued
evolution of the DANUBE FAB.
5.1.2.1. Achievements for 2018

DANUBE FAB has progressed in several key areas during 2018. As well as retaining a core focus on airspace
projects within the FAB framework, DANUBE FAB has been looking further afield towards cooperation initiatives
with other FABs and State partners. An overview of some high priority initiatives is given below.
5.1.2.1.1. Free Route Airspace

The Free Route concept implementation in the airspace of DANUBE FAB is divided into three major phases:
 Phase I – Implementation of night Free Route operations within national boundaries (implemented in
November 2013 - 6 months ahead of schedule);
 Phase II – Implementation of night Free Route operations at DANUBE FAB level (implemented in March
2017); and
 Phase III – Extension to full 24-hour Free Route operations at DANUBE FAB level (planned for 2019).
Major airspace changes in 2015, implemented by DANUBE FAB partners to improve traffic flows, have
necessitated a re-evaluation of the timescales and of the geographical scope for Phase II of the project. Thus,
South East Europe Night Free Route Airspace within Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania (SEEN FRA) project has
been implemented on 30 March 2017. On 6th December 2018 SEEN FRA expanded towards Slovakia.
Following discussions held with Slovakia, it was agreed that the last step of FRA (H24 Free Routes) will be
implemented on 7th November 2019 comprising the airspace of Budapest, București and Sofia CTAs with night
FRA operations in Bratislava CTA.

5.1.2.1.2. Inter-FAB cooperation
DANUBE FAB is committed to cooperating and coordinating with other FABs following the signing of ANSP level
cooperation agreements with neighboring FABs.
Since the formal establishment of the Inter-FAB Cooperation Platform (IFCP), FABs meet regularly to discuss
topics of common interest, as follows:
 2nd Inter-FAB Communications Workshop held on 18-19 January 2018, Warsaw;
 1st Inter-FAB Performance Worksop on 30 January -1 February 2018, Sofia;
 Research Workshop “Volatility in Air Traffic and its impact on ATM Performance”, hosted by FABEC and
Baltic FAB, 15-16 May 2018, Warsaw;
 2nd Inter-FAB Performance workshop held on 17th May 2018, Warsaw;
 Point of Contact Meeting hosted by FABCE on 20/21 September 2018, Sibenik, Croatia;
 3rd Inter-FAB Communications workshop on 6/7 September 2018, Vienna.
DANUBE FAB attended, alongside the other FABs, the above-mentioned meetings, thus demonstrating its
commitment to cooperate with the respective FABs.
5.1.2.1.3. FAB Enlargement

As a gateway to Europe, DANUBE FAB is in an ideal position to expand the influence of SES and is open for
accession of neighboring countries. It is a long-term strategy of DANUBE FAB to extend its geographical scope.
Therefore, in August 2016 DANUBE FAB has commissioned a pre-feasibility study for FAB enlargement with the
aim to further analyse DANUBE FAB’s regional environment and to investigate the compatibility of neighboring
countries with DANUBE FAB.
Following the recommendations of the DANUBE FAB Enlargement Pre-Feasibility Study delivered in spring 2017,
DANUBE FAB further elaborated on potential areas of cooperation with neighboring countries. Thus, DANUBE
FAB met in the recent past, at the level of air navigation services providers, with Macedonia and Serbia. More
meetings are foreseen for the future.
5.1.2.2. Future plans

According to the DANUBE FAB Annual Plan, the High Priority Projects represent major tasks or activities to be
undertaken or implemented within the DANUBE FAB. These Priority Projects aim to ensure the focus is on
significant projects within DANUBE FAB, and therefore represent the areas where persistant work is necessary
in order to ensure the FAB meets EU requirements or to ensure the evolution of the FAB.
These projects are:
5.1.2.2.1. Free Route Airspace

The last step of FRA implementation in the DANUBE FAB airspace is to gradually deploy 24-hour cross-border
FRA by the end of 2019, becoming SEE FRA. The extension of FRA to daytime 24-hour operations depends on
several factors, including airspace redesign, air traffic management systems upgrades and seamless integration
of new technology.
5.1.2.2.2. Technical Rationalisation and Infrastructure

DANUBE FAB jointly plans its CNS infrastructure development and, where possible, conducts common
procurement. The objective of this project is to further develop the cooperation in the technical domain by
identifying opportunities to coordinate, rationalize and/or share technical infrastructure, thereby generating
cost savings.

Building on the DANUBE FAB's Technical Working Group meetings and findings in 2018, as well as the DANUBE
FAB workshop on the synchronized implementation of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373
hosted by BULATSA on 1-3 October 2018 in Sofia, there are new initiatives to develop and explore in this domain.
The projects, presented below, are those with the highest priority, namely:
- Implementation of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) in ATM;
- Implementation of an extended set of OLDI messages.
- Investigate the deployment of space-based ADS-B surveillance services in the DANUBE FAB airspace.
5.1.2.2.3. FAB Enlargement

DANUBE FAB is in the position to expand the influence of SES and is open for accession of neighboring countries.
It is a long term strategy of DANUBE FAB to extend its geographical scope. Since the first step for this hight
priority project was achieved, by analysing the FAB’s regional environment and investigating the compatibility
of neighbouring third countries, the DANUBE FAB governance decided to further make clear steps towards
setting cooperation mechanisms with interested parties for FAB enlargement.
5.1.2.2.4. Inter-FAB Coordination

It is a priority for DANUBE FAB to build on inter-FAB cooperation in order to investigate new projects or extend
existing projects regionally with neighboring FABs and its European and internaitonal partners.
DANUBE FAB is committed to cooperating and coordinating with other FABs, particularly with its neighboring
FABs (BLUE MED FAB and FAB CE) and especially in the framework of the IFCP.

Regional cooperation
Regional cooperation initiatives
Gate One
The DANUBE FAB ANSPs are signing parties of the Gate One cooperation agreement on the creation of the
regional ANSP platform of Central and Eastern Europe which was established by the designated 13 ANSPs
covering 3 existing FABs (Baltic FAB, DANUBE FAB and FAB CE) and 2 non-EU FIRs (Belgrade and Skopje). Through
an enhanced cooperation the Gate One service providers are ensuring more powerful and coordinated positions,
voice and role of the countries of the region in the European decision-making processes.
During 2018, Gate One members met at Coordination Committee level (Bratislava, 19 April 2018) and
subsequently at CEO Committee level (Budapest, 11 May 2018) and adopted a number of common statements,
as follows:
- Gate One position on CANSO Strategy;
- Gate One views on the EU Airspace Architecture Study (AAS);
- Gate One Recommendations to the Airspace Architecture Study (AAS).
InterFAB Coordination Platform

In October 2015 Terms of Reference between all nine FABs in Europe were established, forming a unique
platform that brings together political, regulatory and service provision representatives. The platform aims to
improve FAB performance through wide ranging cooperation and coordination and provides a place to share
lessons learned about successful FAB projects, giving ideas for collective areas of development.

State View
Overall Objective Implementation
Progress distribution for applicable Implementation Objectives
Note: There are no missing data or undefined Implementation Objectives.

The Implementation of Ground-based Safety Nets (ATC02.8) is late: ground systems have been upgraded to
support the DAIW and MSAW functions that are ready for operational use. Ground-based safety tool systems
and associated procedures supporting the APM function are planned to be implemented in the new ATM System
(ROMATSA ATM 2015+).
Implementation of Electronic Dialogue as Automated Assistance to Controller during Coordination and Transfer
(ATC17) is ongoing - partly implemented, in operational use. Electronic Dialogue as Automated Assistance to
Controller during Coordination is implemented and not yet in operational use. Operational use of Coordination
dialogue is pending and depends on the agreement with neighboring ACCs and availability of the functions in
their ATC systems.
Romania developed the eTOD national implementation framework (INF07) in order to identify the
responsibilities regarding the collection, maintenance and provision of eTOD according to the ICAO Annex 15
requirements. However, taking into account the differences sent to ICAO, Romania is not able to ensure the
availability of eTOD until November 2020.
Lines of action associated to the objective ITY-ADQ (Ensure quality of aeronautical data and aeronautical
information) will be implemented in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 73/2010, in the context of the
implementation of an Integrated AIM System.
Ground communication systems are installed to comply with A/G data communication requirements, tested,
validated and ready to be put in operation. Plans are in place to put into operation the communication
infrastructure to handle AGDL services. Detailed requirements for AGDL services have been included in the new
ATM system Functional Specifications. Budgeted plans are in place to implement AGDL services in compliance
to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 310/2015 amending Regulation (EU) No 29/2009,
according to the “Implementation Plan for DataLink services in FIR Bucharest”– edition 1.0, August 2018.

The status of both AOP04.1 and AOP04.2 is late because Romania joined later the applicability area for these
objectives (in 2011). The A-SMGCS Level 2 is currently under implementation at LROP. A-SMGCS control
equipment installation was finalised, the system being authorized by CAA in November 2015 and accepted for
operational use in December 2016. The surveillance component (SMR) of the A-SMGCS system has been
operational since March 2017, with the CTA TWR Otopeni staff being GMS authorized. The electronic strips
component installed at TWR Otopeni interfaces with the ATM 2015+ (Indra) system, the operational
implementation date being correlated with the implementation date of the new ATM 2015+ system.
CDO (ENV01 - Continuous Descent Operations) is ongoing, applied to the tactical phase; further study on
publishing CDA procedures is under development. CDA approach is authorized on pilots' request.
The applicable measures contained in the European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Excursion (SAF11)
are partially implemented. Related actions are in progress to implement the appropriate parts of the European
Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Excursions that have not been yet implemented.
