Moderator:Norma V. Campos-Delory (Operations Research Analyst, FAA ATO)
Date: September 26, 2012
What is the Performance Based Approach? ICAO Document 9883
• PBA is a decision-making method based on three principles:– Strong focus on desired / required results– Informed decision-making driven by those desired / required results– Reliance on facts and data for decision-making
• PBA is part of the transition towards a performance-based global air navigation system (ANS) as envisaged in:
If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it!
What are the advantages of PBA?
• Results-oriented. Customer focus and accountability
• Transparency in policy-making by stating goals in terms of outcomes rather than solutions
• Optimize resource allocation and allows for greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness in solutions adopted
• Rigorous quantitative and qualitative methods replace decisions based on anecdotal evidence
• Improves predictability of benefits
How can PBA be used?
• Policy-making• Regulation• Transition planning and system
changes• System design and validation• Economic and operational
management• System optimization• Operational management
• Safety, security, environment• Economic performance of airspace
users, airports, and ANSPs• Operational performance of flight
operations, airport operations, and ANSP services
• Human resources• Performance of technical systems
within the air navigation system
Management and Planning Activities Areas of Application
The Performance Management Process
1. Define / review scope, context and general ambitions and expectations
3. Quantify objectives through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
4. Select solutions to exploit opportunities and resolve issues
5. Implement solutions
6. Assess achievement of objectives
2. Identify opportunities, issues, and set performance objectives
(specific improvements)

Key Performance Areas (KPAs)
• Identified on Appendix D of the ICAO Global Air Traffic Management Operational Concept (Doc 9854)
• Many of KPAs are mutually interdependent. Performance trade-offs of objectives and targets to reach a balanced outcome
Access and Equity Capacity Cost Effectiveness Efficiency
Environment Flexibility Global Interoperability
Participation by the ATM Community PredictabilitySafety
Security
What do we need to implement PBA?
• Commitment and buy-in from senior management• Agreement on performance objectives and targets• Organization of process, roles, and responsibilities• Proper allocation of resources• Data collection, processing, storage, and reporting• Coordination to ensure an agreed vision of the expected results,
accountability, and use of compatible approaches • Management of cost implications associated with PBA
What are the major challenges for your organization?
What are the major challenges for the LAC region?
Some questions for the audience
• Do you think s PBA a valid tool for ANS planning? If so, what areas would profit the most from adopting the PBA framework?
• Does your organization already use PBA principles in its decision-making process, if so, what concepts and practices?
• Does your organization have any formally documented PBA-based process? Do you think it to be profitable to develop them?
• Does your organization have a process for producing, analyzing, and reporting KPIs?
• What challenges has your organization faced while implementing PBA OR developing its performance monitoring tools?

PBA Requirements
1. Define policy in terms of performance objectives
2. Make objectives measurable by defining appropriate indicators
3. Develop the data and methodologies necessary to calculate the indicators
4. Have the expertise to maintain data quality and to assess the link between indicator trends and management actions.
ICAO Guidance (Doc 9883)
Making objectives measurable
• Outcomes or enablers
• Hard to quantify all activities
Challenges
Inter-dependencies outside ATM: flight schedules, airport capacity, weather
Data integrity, large scale processing
Maintaining core expertise: can take time to build up core analysis capability

Challenges to Advance PBA
• Translating high-level performance objectives into binding
performance targets is a daring socio-political process.
– Apprehension of undue/unfair accountability is not a small issue.
• Decision-making driven by required results is altogether different
from decision-making oriented by “intended” results.
– Reliance on measured/projected data is what sets performance-based
approach apart from more common objective-based approaches.
– Risk of “reverse-engineering” the PBA process.
– Difficulty to implement performance measurement and data collection
capabilities can be an obstacle.
Challenges (cont.)
• Performance management, review and assessment are complex,
costly activities.
– Highly diversified source data bases; massive amount of data to be
prepared, presented, analyzed, interpreted and used.
– Intensive Business Intelligence activity, requiring a properly staffed team
of skilled professionals (ANS analysts; DBA-, ETL-, OLAP-qualified
professionals).
– Socially-intensive decision-making process, requiring the involvement of
other segments of the ATM Community.
Challenges (cont.)
• Down-to-earth factors that may hinder the advancement of PBA:
– PBA can be very time-consuming, vis-à-vis the pressure to field
available ANS resources known to satisfy urging performance demands.
– ANS is a technology-driven industry, so global interoperability
requirements may limit the value of PBA for choosing technical
solutions.
• PBA can be used in its essence by investing where the demand is
higher. “Follow the traffic”: measure it, project it, and prepare for it.

Harmonized ATM- Towards a truly seamless global systemAlign firmly with Block concept- Operators & OEMs
Synchronized investments in avionics (Roadmaps)
Removes need for regulatory mandatesReduces lead time (6 years away)
Reduces costsMinimizes Retrofits (aircraft downtime)Integrated Avionics and quicker installation & Certification
Synchronized investments by ANSPs / StatesBlock design recognizes regional differences
Reduces complexity of competing safety prioritiesIntegrates Needs of domestic & international operationsRecognizes BudgetsThreads the ‘’modules’’
Challenges - How to Get There?
Budget considerations are greater for Block 1 since these modules do involve technology insertion in either ground/air or both. Block 1 has a strong dependency on moving to network based communications for aviation.There are regional synchronization issues of equipage and capabilities to achieve much of Block 1. This is essential to the successful implementation to the future Blocks. Global standards can alleviate such risks and ensure interoperability between regional ANSPs. Global standards also offer stakeholders a common rubric.

CANSO update
The global voice of ATM
Feedback to CANSO helped immensely:A better understanding of ANSP requirements and challengesFeedback to the Tech Team for ASBU revisionsInputs to Roadmaps
CANSO now serves as a “global voice’’; the transition to a “Global Partner” needs to take stage now
States and ANSPs to ‘socialize’ ASBUsGlobal Best-Practices, in the spirit of “Partnership for Progress”
The CANSO Position
The global voice of ATM
Need for STANDARDS NOT MANDATES
Need for Global Interoperability very clear:Avionics-Ground system: very long lead timeGround-Ground stakeholders: more connectivity desired, supported
Diverse regional requirements need greater recognition:Seamless operations require synchronized investment across multiple FIRsMany States have particular needs, priorities, and approaches not always shared by others
The CANSO Position- focus
The global voice of ATM
NOT A MANDATE
Unification of Global InitiativesFocus of NextGen, SESAR, CARATS, FIANS, CNAS, et alConcentrated, focused, modular, complete
Harmonization of Timeframes and CapabilityGlobally between regions and larger actorsRegionally between neighborsDomestically between States and ATC stakeholders
Business CaseJustification for internal actionCross-organizational stakeholder buy-inSupports Cost-Benefit Analyses
thoughts… feedback message to ANSPs
The global voice of ATM
Cross-reference ATM plans with ASBUsFocus on Operational Improvements and less on TechnologyStart talking to the Regulator NOW!Consult with GA, Military, stakeholders (don’t forget DOM)Look at Training requirements: involve controllers early!Work to Regional AgreementsMetrics and CBAs are ‘key’ to success; including:
InvestmentsMinimize mixed equipage
Address your Safety Net requirements; for example: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)Airspace re-design
Challenges to Global HarmonizationIt is critical that future ATM technologies be compatible and interoperable (Standards)
Integration of new technologies, systems, procedures and concepts into domestic airspace (mixing new with old)
Regional collaboration to coordinate modernization technologies and time lines (cross boundary and multilateral harmonization)
Service Provider and Operator investment required to realize full benefits (infrastructure, avionics, procedures)
ICAO, CANSO and others must continue leadership role in promoting cross-regional harmonization (ICAO Block Upgrades)

Current work : SESAR Initial-4D
121 /121 / Some Key Considerations
Aircraft capabilities for I-4D will progressively be available from 2018:
Ground capabilities for I-4D can be delivered in a consistent timeframe
Improved weather models are being developed but advanced concepts and common weather picture will not be available to the FMS until after 2025
NextGen and SESAR have different SWIM drivers : other ANSPs or regions need to consider the applicability of each model:
Additional TBO capabilities available in SESAR Step 2 but current NextGen plans are beyond 2025 for most capabilities
Key dependencies on SESAR & NextGen could influence final Block 1 implementation
