Description / Abstract:
This document includes the definition of the services and the
Environmental Conditions relevant to the implementation of the
ASPA-FIM application and the operational, safety, performance and
interoperability requirements for using the application.
Note: Requirements that provide protection against
intentional behavior causing harm or sabotage are beyond the scope
of this document.
Note: Requirements related to the recording of ADS-B
data for accident or incident investigation purposes are beyond the
scope of this document.
Purpose of the document
This document defines and allocates the set of minimum
requirements for the end-to-end operational, safety, performance,
and interoperability aspects for implementations of an initial set
of IM Operations. The requirements and their initial application
are also expected to form the basis for all future ASPA-FIM
implementations. Allocation of these requirements is done by this
SPR/INTEROP to the necessary domains of the CNS/ATM system, i.e.,
at aircraft and ground domain level.
Note: Requirements allocated to the ground domain are
limited to operational and interoperability requirements. Safety
and performance requirements on how the ground domain determines
when to issue IM Clearances to help schedule and manage the traffic
flow are out of scope of the ASPA-FIM application.
These requirements can be used as a component for approval
processes including aircraft type design approval, aircraft
operator operational approval and Air Traffic Services (ATS)
provider operational approval. This document examines a set of IM
Operations in expected near-term environments, yet does not define
any singular Operational Application. Therefore, this document can
not be a sole means for such approval processes. Rather, the
minimum requirements specified and the methodologies defined within
provide a path to those approvals for given Operational
Applications. This SPR/INTEROP document is also written to support
system specific standards (e.g., Minimum Aviation System
Performance Standard [MASPS], Minimum Operational Performance
Standard [MOPS], and Technical Standard Orders [TSOs]) that will
define specific Operational Applications and may be required for
many airspace regulators.
