Due to the rising number of space operations around the world, CANSO understands many countries are grappling with the complexity of the coordination required to manage such activities’ effect on their airspace system’s safety and efficiency. This document provides guidance to Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) on how to …

This document provides air navigation service providers (ANSPs) with an introduction to the remote and digital tower concept and informs any decision-making processes before or during the inception of an implementation programme.

It provides an overview of the concepts and technologies involved, and what drivers, challenges and pressures can influence …

CANSO’s latest white paper, Long-Range Air Traffic Flow Management (LRATFM) Concept, explores the LRATFM concept in detail. The document discusses the experience of ANSPs, provides recommendations for implementation and suggests implementation models that can align with already established regional ATFM operations.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the critical (key) indicators of progress toward an intended result. KPIs in air navigation provide a focus for strategic measurement of air traffic management (ATM) performance for operational improvement, as well as an analytical tool for decision making.

The idea to conduct a survey of …

CANSO Guidance Material for Remote and Digital Towers provides an introduction to the remote and digital tower concept and technologies, and explores what drivers, challenges and pressures can influence operations.

The aim is to answer specific questions that ANSPs may have, including: what is a digital tower, why and when …

Air traffic flow management (ATFM) and airport collaborative decision making (A-CDM) are collaborative processes aimed at improving efficiency and optimising resources in airspace and at airports. With growth of air traffic prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, ATFM and A-CDM became central to air traffic management in many regions and airports …

CANSO works with ACI to ensure responsible operations and has partnered to produce Use of Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) for Noise Management. This publication provides guidance and shares best practices on PBN implementation and highlights opportunities to mitigate the effects of aircraft noise.

While PBN offers benefits to safety, …

Airport collaborative decision-making (A-CDM) can improve the efficiency, capacity and environmental performance of airport operations by optimising the use of resources and improving the predictability of events. A-CDM may also enhance the planning and management of en-route operations. The procedure is based on real-time information sharing between airport operators, aircraft …

The annual growth of air transport requires solutions to ensure operational efficiency and security in air traffic management (ATM). Air traffic flow management (ATFM) and collaborative decision-making (CDM) are processes that help to balance demand against capacity and increase operational coordination between aviation stakeholders, creating a safer, more efficient flow …

ANSP Considerations for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Operations addresses increasing demand on air traffic management (ATM) by the introduction of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operations into airspace and considers how to safely accommodate these new entrants into airspace.

Regulators around the world are beginning to permit small scale, local …

The digitisation of ATM processes and procedures plays an important role in enabling integrated and interoperable air navigation services worldwide. As the global voice of air traffic management (ATM), CANSO seeks to provide expertise and guidance on all aspects of ATM operations; and improving the standard of aeronautical information management (…

Air Navigation Service Provider Carbon Footprinting: A Best Practice Guide offers ANSPs practical advice on measuring carbon emissions, a crucial first step in identifying and delivering environmental improvements. 

Measuring and reporting environmental performance is a key social responsibility for businesses as concerns about sustainability issues increase. This guide …

Performance-based navigation (PBN) is instrumental in improving the efficiency of airspace across the globe, and CANSO’s Performance-Based Navigation for ANSPs: Concept 2030 offers a vision of PBN for the year 2030.

By determining the future state of PBN, this guide is designed to assist CANSO Members as they prepare for, or …

CANSO’s vision is to transform air traffic management performance globally; to harmonise airspace so that planes can fly smoothly and seamlessly across the globe. CANSO has identified a number of impediments to the safe and efficient crossing of Flight Information Region (FIR) boundaries and we have previously published guides …

 Partnership is one of the three pillars of Vision 2020. The partnership between airports, airlines and ATM to reduce congestion and delays is key to improving efficiency at airports. This partnership is realised through the concept of airport collaborative decision-making (A-CDM), which is being used effectively by many CANSO Members.

…

CANSO provides the ANSP Guidelines for Implementing ATS Surveillance Services Using Space-Based ADS-B to support Member ANSPs as they consider whether to incorporate the future system of space-based ADS-B into their air traffic management (ATM) infrastructure.

This document provides background information on ATS surveillance systems and related services; …

CANSO has published the CANSO Performance-Based Navigation Best Practice Guide for ANSPs.

The document provides practical guidance on performance-based navigation (PBN) as it applies primarily to the terminal and approach environments. It highlights the need for a clear and concise set of design requirements, and focuses on the areas …

CANSO has published its Recommended Key Performance Indicators for Measuring ANSP Operational Performance.

It identifies twenty one KPIs spanning all phases of flights with particular importance placed on the KPIs for efficient use of capacity and efficient flight trajectories. The KPIs will improve the alignment of air traffic management (ATM) …

CANSO has published the Best Practice Guide to Crossing Flight Information Region Boundaries. The Guide addresses two of the main impediments to the safe and efficient crossing of Flight Information Region (FIR) boundaries: inconsistencies in filing flight plans; and problems in transitioning between surveillance and non-surveillance airspaces.

The Guide …
