The SESAR Joint Undertaking is organising a series of events as part of the World ATM Congress from the 3 to 6 March, in Madrid, Spain. Themed “From innovation to solution: partnering for smarter aviation”, the SESAR events will provide the latest on the programme’s progress in delivering a solid stream of solutions in response to the most pressing operational business demands across Europe’s entire ATM system. The SESAR agenda will also engage delegates in lively and stimulating debate on the bringing these solutions to the market.

The preliminary agenda features the following events:

SESAR internal meeting (SESAR members only)
Monday 3 March 2014, 15:00-18:00, Room N106

 

SESAR FORUM
Tuesday 4 March 2014, 14:30-16:30, Room N105+N106

SESAR’s members and partners are proving that, by working together with a range of stakeholders, changes in the ATM domain are possible. The SESAR Forum will explore the steps necessary to make these changes a reality and how to bring SESAR results to the market for deployment. The Forum will begin with several interventions and then go to a panel discussion hearing the perspectives from various stakeholders.

 

Workshop: Demonstrating SESAR
Wednesday 5 March 2014, 10:30-12:30, Room N106

The workshop will provide an overview of SESAR Demonstration activities, as well as showcase a number of projects that are currently underway. The workshop will also outline the planning for the RPAS Demonstration Projects and hear from several of the selected projects.

 

Workshop: Unpacking SESAR Solutions
Wednesday 5 March 2014, 13:45-15:45, Room N106

The workshop will look at the solutions that the SESAR programme is delivering for further development and deployment. The workshop will also address the standardisation and regulatory implications and will explain how the solutions will be considered as part of the deployment process.

 

Demo: Initial 4D Trajectory Management

Tuesday 4 March, 16:30-18:30
Wednesday 5 March 2014, 10:30-12:30
Wednesday 5 March 2014, 14:30-16:30

Initial 4-D trajectory management combines conventional three-dimensional data with time estimates computed by aircraft. Blended together, this data pinpoints aircraft positions accurately and predictably. The demo will feature a synchronised video playback of recent i4D flight trials and participants will hear from some of the key actors involved in developing this novel approach to trajectory management.

 

The SESAR Stand

Don’t forget to visit the SESAR stand (508), where you can peruse the latest publications, speak with representatives from the SESAR Joint Undertaking and test your knowledge about SESAR in return for a chance to win some coveted goodies. The stand will also feature a demo of IMPACT, a software developed within the SESAR programme that evaluates the environmental impact (noise, fuel, emission, air quality) of SESAR operations. The tool allows projects to compare their environmental performance data to various baselines.

Registration is free and now open for the SESAR events through the World ATM Congress website.

Stay tuned for more details about our agenda in the coming weeks!
