Rotorcraft and general aviation fly at different speeds and altitude to commercial traffic, making the management of the traffic more complex. Flight trials conducted by SESAR members are showing how advanced approach and departure procedures can enable more efficient mixed air traffic operations, especially in adverse weather.

Get a taste of the transformation that is underway in air traffic management thanks to SESAR members and partners through a series of events and walking tours at the World ATM Congress 2019 in Madrid (12-14 March 2019). The walking tours will take place within the context of a range of activities organised by European aviation partners under the umbrella theme of “Europe for Aviation”.

SESAR JU member, ENAV, has successfully concluded a validation campaign to assess dynamic virtual block control with the support of datalink communications. The aim of the solution is to improve the safety and efficiency of traffic on the surface of the airport, particularly in low-visibility conditions.

The SJU launched a call for expression of interest addressed to the SJU selected Members for the selection of Members for the provision of seconded staff for the following three profiles:

- ATM Systems Expert

- Performance Expert

- Senior Stakeholder Relations Expert

Engage, the SESAR KTN, is organising a free workshop on "Vulnerabilities and global security of the CNS/ATM systems" on 27 March in Brussels. Researchers, technical experts and end-users are invited to discuss mitigation actions for current systems’ risks, and new technologies for next generation systems. The results will be included in a reference document to help us move towards a cyber-resilient, fault-tolerant, scalable, efficient, secure and flexible system.
