ESTEEM - Elaboration of a Strategy for the Transition from EATCHIP phase III to the European Air Traffic Management System
Overview
Background & policy context:
A transition strategy is needed to enable the evolutionary development of the European ATM (Air Traffic Management) system from the current EATCHIP (European Air Traffic Control Harmonisation and Integration Programme) Phase III, to the future European ATM system (EATMS). Since the concepts and design of the future ATM system are still evolving, there is scope for providing a framework whereby transition strategies can be outlined relatively easily. This would include bringing together the constraints and proposed options for transition that currently exist.
Objectives:
The main objective of ESTEEM was to produce a methodology for the production of transition strategies and to show this methodology working in practice, thus providing planners with the tools to draw up transition strategies throughout the transition towards the EATMS. A secondary objective was to initiate the transition process to the EATMS using the methodology, and by suggesting transition steps, to initiate debate as to whether the steps are viable.
