Scope
• The Challenge• Slot Coordination• Temporary Controlled Airspace• Diversions• Airspace Restrictions
The Challenge
• Uncertain demand and late decision making• No new airport provision • Heavy use of existing airport and airspace capacity
• To accommodate all Olympics related demand.• To maintain highest standards of safety and
security.• Contribute to a positive visitor experience.• Limit disruption to business as usual.
Government’s Aviation Objectives
(Estimate by Atkins/AL/Shaw Economics (2010))• 500,000 + international visitors• 120 Heads of State • Over 10,000 total business jet movements • Peaks around Olympics opening and closing ceremonies• Can be accommodated, but only if
– Use all available capacity, including smaller airfields for business jets
– Manage capacity efficiently
Aviation demand
Broad Strategy• Extending slot co-ordination• Temporary controlled airspace
Other issues
• Diversion guidance• Airspace restrictions

Slot CoordinationLee Campbell
Extending Slot Coordination• 21 July – 15 August 2012, inclusive – No IFR arrivals or
departures without pre-booked slot• Implemented by Airport Coordination Limited (ACL)
within EU and UK rules• Covers 40 airports with potential to impact on South
East controlled airspace• Linked to acceptance of flight plans
March 2012 ACL Page | 10
How the System Works• Review slot availability of the airport on line at www.online-coordination.com• Contact the Airport/Handling Agent as appropriate (to allow for parking and handling
availability)• Airport uses www.online-coordination.com website to obtain slots• All slots booked through ACL online-coordination.com System are on/off block times not
airborne/landing times• For General and Business Aviation the Airport receive back a unique slot ID for use with
confirmed slots, the slot ID is entered by the operator in field 18 of the flight plan, with the prefix of RMK/ASL: i.e. RMK/ASLGBXXAPVT554300
• The addition of an appropriate contact telephone number in field 18 is imperative to allow for possible resolution of discrepancies highlighted
• Submitting a flight plan without a valid slot ID will ultimately result in the flight plan being suspended on the day or a possible heavy fine up to £20,000
• Applies to everyone, including “state” flights, VVIPs• Late changes possible subject to availability – ACL will operate 24/7 during Olympic period• Permits for hire & reward flights will only be issued by the DfT on evidence of slots being
booked – application forms download from www.dft.gov.uk/topics/aviation-permits

Slot Coordination Will...
• Protect scheduled and non-scheduled traffic from disruption due to congested airspace
• Facilitate orderly and efficient use of available airport capacity
• Work with and through the market• Encourage operators to book early

Slide 17
Airports likely to attract demand
Tier 1 (Main recognised)Heathrow (EGLL), Gatwick (EGKK), Luton (EGGW), Stansted (EGSS), London City (EGLC)
Tier 2 (Prime tarmac)Bournemouth (EGHH), Southampton (EGHI), Oxford (EGTK), Coventry (EGBE) Farnborough (EGLF), Blackbushe (EGLK), Lydd (EGMD), Shoreham (EGKA), Manston (EGMH), Southend (EGMC), Cranfield (EGTC), Cambridge (EGSC), Biggin Hill (EGKB), Northolt (EGWU)

Slide 18
NATS Olympic airspace planning
Additional temporary controlled airspace CAS(T) will enable NATS to manage additional demand for IFR flights
CAS(T) will be active between 16 July - 15 August
Mandatory flight planning routes are in place for many airports for London 2012 CAS(T) period
Slide 21
NATS role during the Olympic Games is to…
Manage the increase in air traffic in controlled airspace throughout the period as efficiently as possible, whilst maintaining our high levels of safety and service to existing customers
Liaise and provide advice to organisations across industry to ensure a co-ordinated approach to a safe efficient operation
Establish a NATS Olympic Operations Room as a communications cell
Work with DfT and Civil Aviation Authority to maintain regular dialogue and share forward planning information with key stakeholders such as EUROCONTROL and the Met Office
Slide 22
NATS role during the Olympic Games is not to…
Formulate airspace policy (DfT and CAA)
Formulate, implement or enforce the London 2012 security restrictions (MoD, Home Office, DfT and CAA)
Manage non-commercial or GA traffic within the security restricted zones (MoD)
Allocate Olympic runway slots at the 40 airports (ACL)
Assure service quality at airports throughout the Olympic period or make decisions about allocation of airport capacity in the event of disruption (Airport Operator)
Flight and diversion planning (Aircraft Operator)
Slide 24
What you need to do
Apply early for a slot through ACL
Operate the slot correctly in line with the CAS(T) restrictions
Familiarise operators and crews with London 2012 Operations (including Oceanic Airspace) for UK civil and security restricted airspace
Plan carefully for Diversion and or Contingency Arrangements
Slide 27
Examples scenarios for delay
The UK aviation network faces the potential of significant delay during the pre-opening ceremony period and the Olympic Games if:
Security restrictions/ air policing/ air security measures require regulation to maintain safety
Weather disruption
Non-compliance with Airport Coordination Limited allocated/ coordinated slots
Diversion Guidance
• Draft AIC circulated by DAP• Business Jet Assumptions:
– More flexible - scope for allocating alternates according to destination.
– Less ground infrastructure, less space and potentially less time on the ground.
– Less commercial impact resulting from directives regarding alternates.
– More aerodromes are available.– A ‘quadrant’ approach is possible.
Recommendations
• Destination Biggin Hill – Manston or Lydd• Destination Northolt – Luton or Farnborough• Destination Luton – Stansted or Southend• Destination Stansted – Luton or Southend• Destination Manston – Southend, Biggin Hill or Lydd• Destination Farnborough group – Bournemouth• Destination Cambridge – Norwich • Others – According to location (quadrant approach) and
capacity
