AERONAUTICAL COMMAND

DEPARTMENT OF
AIRSPACE CONTROL
Global ATM Operational Concept
• Vision
• To achieve an interoperable global air traffic
management system for all users during all
phases of flight, that meets agreed levels of
safety, provides for optimum economic
operations, is environmentally sustainable,
and meets national security challenges.

 BACKGROUND

• 2 ATS ROUTES BASED IN RECIFE/NORONHA

AND FORTALEZA – MINIMUM SEPARATION 120
NM
• IMPLEMENTATION OF 3rd ATS ROUTE AS FROM
MOSSORÓ - SEPARATION OF 100 NM –
AMENDMENT OF DOC. 7030 (REGIONAL
SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES)
 BACKGROUND

• ACC CHIEFS MEETING - 1996 – BEGINNING OF

AIR TRAFFIC STUDIES AND STATISTIC DATA
COLLECTION
• SAT 6 MEETING - 1996 - FIRST PROPOSALS FOR
RNP AND RVSM IMPLEMENTATION – ADOPTION
OF 10’ LONGITUDINAL SEPARATION WITH MNT
(MAY 1997)
 BACKGROUND
•1999 – Reduction of the longitudinal separation to 10
minutes ( Mach number technique) in the oceanic
airspace.
•Oct. 2001 – Unification of the oceanic airspace >>
FIR-AO/ACC-AO.
•RNP 10 - Reduction of the lateral
separation to 50 NM.
•RVSM - Reduction of the vertical separation to
1000 feet.
 ATLANTIC FIR
Configuration approved at CAR/SAM3 Oct-99
1st Phase Implementation - SEP 2001

OBJECTIVES
• To optimize means of communication,
navigation and surveillance, fundamentally
RECIFE
based on satellites, centralized in a single Atlantic ACC

ATC organ (ACC - Atlantic), due to the

peculiar characteristics of the oceanic
airspace. (CPDLC/ ADS/ GNSS)

• ATC Capacity Improvement

• To meet air traffic projected demand for the

EUR/SAM corridor

• Utilization of aleatory routes

(longitudinal separation : 80NM-50NM-30NM

 CONCLUSION

Brazil is fully committed to provide a high

standard of air navigation services to all users.

Brazil is also fully committed to the new

CNS/ATM systems implementation and is working
towards to reach the related ICAO common goals.

Finally, Brazil wishes to take part in joint

efforts with other countries on the research,
development, industrialization, implementation and
operation of the elements of the new systems.
Technology turns into benefit
just if applied in the correct
place
