Executive Summary
State Context
2013 was a critical year for the Ministry of Communication and Works and subsequently for the Department of Civil Aviation as it was the year of serious challenges affecting. The State economic situation along with the heavy austerity measures affected both budgeting and the staffing levels of the ANSP. 2013 also saw the phased implementation of the new ATM system (“TopSky-C”) in the ACC as a quick mitigation measure for the termination of the LEFCO project. Based on the operation of the new system a relatively good level of compliance with EU requirements is achieved.
The level of delays for 2013 has remained relatively high due to various reasons these being budgeting constrains and system implementation. The overall situation of the ANSP on delays and generally on its ability to meet demand and ATM challenges has led the Ministry to move forward to the reorganization of the ANS provider into a private law company. This will enhance the ANSP with flexibility and empowerment to manage ATM into a competitive environment.
The regulatory context of the State remains as the previous year with the National Supervisory Authority and the Ministry of Communications and Works being the main stakeholders in this perspective. The reorganization of the ANSP will be followed by a reorganization of the regulatory context with the transformation of the DCAC into a well balance regulator.
ESSIP Objective Implementation
The limited resources of the ANSP introduce a challenge for the fulfilment of the LSSIP obectives as most of them have to be executed a “series process” and not in “parallel”. Besides these type of constraints the ANSP stands at a relatively satisfactory level of completion of the LSSIP, given also the limited applicability of several objectives for Cyprus.
Out of the 29 overall applicable objectives, 8 are completed, 1 partially completed, 18 planned, and 2 are late.
A good percentage of objectives are completed because of the implementation of the new ATM system in the ACC. The system shall also drive the completion of other objectives such as the MTCD and the Datalink. The same applies with the COM objectives and the FMTP protocol.
Larnaca is not included in the list of airports that have a significant impact on the network so it is not in the applicability area for the ENV objectives and CDM. Besides this, a large proportion of the objectives are fulfilled based on the current operations.
The initiation of the IDP project of SESAR, along with the work under the Blue Med FAB and the possible funding under the TEN-T, has enhanced the implementation of the projects of Free Route Airspace, MTCD further development, and PBN (also APV).
The most significant problem encountered in the completion of the work was the availability of resources combined with the austerity measures imposed on the State. The State shall strive to fulfil the applicable objectives with priority based on the implementation deadline but also based on the operational significance.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a five-year plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2013 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2013.
The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:
Chapters 1 to 5 present the key players in the State, and sets the institutional and geographical scenes to help the reader understand the specifics of the State and interpret the rest of the document correctly. It also presents a short description of the main national and regional projects in which the national Stakeholders are involved.
Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.

1.2.2.1 ATC system in use
Manufacturer of the ATC system currently in use: THALES- TopSky C ATC system
Major upgrade1 of the ATC system is performed /planned System operational in 2013
A diagram of the basic technical infrastructure
1. Airspace management (ASM): ASM in Cyprus comprises of two major pillars, the FUA and the
ATFCM function. The FUA application is regulated via a Ministerial committee composed of MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS AND WORKS, MoD and MFA, and applied via the Airspace Management Cell (AMC). All three FUA levels are applied. The ATFCM function is performed by the Flow Management Unit at Nicosia ACC. Both FUA and ATFCM functions are inputs to the operations in the ACC via sector configuration and capacity management. The AMC produces the Airspace Usage Plan (AUP) utilizing the Eurocontrol tool, CIAM.
2. Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM): performed at Nicosia ACC via a dedicated function. System used is the NMOC CHMI for the FMP.
3. Air Traffic Control System: System used is the THALES TopSky-C system which has become operational in October 2013. The system comprises of a THALES Multi Radar Tracker (MRT), a THALES Flight Data Processor (FDP) and a THALES HMI.
4. Communications: G/A communications via VHF/UHF Tx/Rx at various sites in Cyprus. G/G communications via normal telephone lines. No datalink employed yet.
1 Upgrade is defined as any modification that changes the operational characteristics of the system (SES Framework Regulation 549/2004, Article 2 (40))
LSSIP Year 2013 Cyprus 11 Released Issue
5. Navigation: Aircraft navigation via the AWYs network (RNP5). No free route airspace provided yet. The two local aerodromes rely on conventional SID/STARs based on VOR/DMW. The design of new PBN procedures has been initiated in cooperation with ICAO and Israel.
6. Surveillance systems: The surveillance function of the DCAC is served by a network of both PSR and SSR radars that are combined (through the MRT) to provide a radar picture at Nicosia ACC. The application of ADSB is being evaluated under the CRISTAL Med project currently ongoing.
7. Aeronautical Information Services: AIS is primarily using the European AIS Database (EAD) for the origination and the dissemination of information.
8. Meteorological Information: Meteorological info is disseminated via the AFTN to the ATC units. The information is fed into a digital VOLMET serving Nicosia FIR and a D-ATIS serving the two local aerodromes.
1.2.2.2 ATC units
The ATC units in the Cyprus airspace, which are of concern to this LSSIP are the following:
ATC Unit Number of sectors
Associated FIR(s) Remarks En-route TMA
Nicosia ACC 4 - Nicosia FIR
Larnaca - 1 LCA CTZ
Pafos - 1 PHA CTZ
1.2.3 Airports
1.2.3.1 General information
The two international airports of the Republic of CYPRUS are Larnaca (LCLK) and Paphos (LCPH). Both are state owned, but operated on a limited time lease contract (BOT) by an international consortium HERMES. ATC is provided by the DCAC.
Up to the time after which the management of the airports was granted to the company Hermes (12/05/2006), the Department of Civil Aviation was responsible for their operation. In light of the new state of play, the Department’ s role has been modified, and it now has a supervisory role in matters concerning Civil Aviation (Security) and licensing/certification of airports in accordance with Annex 14 (Aerodromes) of the Chicago Treaty.
The size of the two terminal buildings is such that with respect to passenger convenience, and according to the specifications of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the level of service provided is B and C, for Larnaca and Paphos respectively.
1.2.3.2 Airport(s) covered by the LSSIP
The airport covered by this LSSIP document is Larnaca International Airport.

1.2.4 Military Authorities
Military Entities
The operation of the Armed Forces in the Republic of Cyprus is governed by the “National Guard Law” (1964-2003) and the executive power is exercised by the Minister of Defence.
The Chief of the National Guard is accountable to the Minister of Defence for the general command and supervision of the National Guard, its organization, training, readiness, discipline and order within, and he is also accountable to the Minister of Defence for all equipment provided to the National Guard and for carrying out the orders of the Minister of Defence or the Council of Ministers.
The Commander of the Air Force Command is accountable directly to the Chief of the National Guard. Under the authority of the Air Force Command are the, Military Air Control Centre (MACC), the Early Warning Radar squadrons, the Air-Defence Units and the Aircraft Squadrons. In addition to the above, a Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) is manned and operated by personnel of the Ministry of Defence.
Airspace and Control
The Republic of Cyprus is included among those countries where the MACC does not have an ATM function hence it does not provide ATS to either civil or military aircraft flying as GAT. Air Traffic Management is provided by the DCAC.
Military flights are generally conducted below FL 195. In some cases military flights are conducted over FL 195, in Temporary Reserved Areas, within the Nicosia FIR. These areas are reserved in accordance with ICAO regulations and in cooperation with the DCAC.
Military authorities control or provide information, with simultaneous notification and coordination with the civil ATS providers (Larnaca - Paphos Towers and Nicosia ACC), to their own aircraft in the following cases:
When the aircraft fly operationally (OAT);
Within predefined and limited time reserved areas of airspace. These areas are reserved for specific purposes and operational reasons and after cooperation with the DCAC for the release of the relevant NOTAMs;
When the JRCC is conducting SAR operations within the Nicosia FIR.
The surveillance of airspace for Security and Defence purposes is conducted by the Air Force Command.
For the time being there is no military commitment for implementing ESARRs. However additional theoretical training relevant to air traffic control services is provided to military personnel by the DCAC.

1.2.5 Accident/incident Investigation Body
1.2.5.1 Technical investigations
Investigations following accidents and/or incidents are carried out by Air Accident and Incident Investigation Board (AAIIB) of Cyprus. This body is a permanent body, reporting only to the Minister of Communications and Works and is functionally independent in compliance with Regulation (EU) No 996/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2010 on the investigation and prevention of accidents and incidents in civil aviation and repealing Directive 94/56/EC. A safety review is published annually at national level and is available on the following website:
The AAIIB conducts investigations for Civil Aviation aircraft accidents and all incidents and occurrences including those voluntary reported.
AAIIB website: coming soon
1.2.5.2 Collection, Evaluation & Processing of Data
Cyprus is EU member and Directive 2003/42/EC has been transposed into national legislation:
The DCA Safety Regulation Unit (SRU) performs the collection, evaluation, process and storing of all information related to accidents, incidents and occurrences, as well as making this information available to the other EU States according to Directive 2003/42/EC.
In order to carry out this function, the DCA Safety Regulation Unit (SRU) uses the tools developed in the frame of the programme for the “European Co-ordination Centre for Aviation Incidents Reporting System” (ECCAIRS).
1.2.5.3 Civil-Military Accidents/Incidents
The Civil occurrences are investigated by the AAIIB whereas the Military authorities are responsible, with their own internal committee for the investigation of Military occurrences. In the case of incidents/accidents including both military and civil aircraft, close cooperation between the two authorities shall apply. A new provision in the law is law is being drafted that will encompass the cooperation of both the Civil and Military AAIIB in the case of civil-military occurrences.

2.1.1.3 Planning Period 2014-2018/19 - Summer
The planning focuses on the Summer season to reflect the most demanding period of the year from a capacity perspective. This approach ensures consistency with the previous planning cycles.
The 2014-2018/19 summer capacity profile and delay breakdown has been derived according to the following parameters:
• 2014: capacity requirement profiles based on the delay breakdown per ACC as provided in January 2011
• 2015-2018/19: Reference value based on the breakdown of a yearly European delay target of 0.5 min/flight

REC-2012-22
States are encouraged to speed up the AFP implementation and to schedule AFP testing with Network Manager
All States
The objective requires an update of the ATM systems’ FDP. The objective is also part of the IDP program. The State will try to meet the deadline though the benefit for Cyprus is expected to be minimal due to the geographical periphery, but the cost (and probable implications) of modification of the FDP is significant. The deadline also is depended on the availability of the system company, which is not the case for providers that have their own software development departments.

Airports are encouraged to establish performance committees and implement information sharing and performance reporting processes in line with A-CDM guidelines (AOP05 objective).

To update the FABs plans and establish a more appropriate roadmap to improve the current lack of coordination and ensure a common response to deployment needs.
FAB States
A BLUE MED deployment program aligned with IDP and the LSSIP has been established.
REC-2012-42
The ANSPs should coordinate system deployment (including system upgrades) and capabilities implementation plans with FAB partner first, and then follow on with coordination to adjacent FABs and ANSPs.
FAB States
This recommendation, even though it is reasonable, it is difficult to be followed due to the different level of each State in the FAB, the ATM system and the different ATM systems providers. An alignment will be pursued on upgrades that fall under the IDP/LSSIP cycles.
REC-2012-43
Ongoing work to harmonise reporting culture between States in the FAB should be continued to ensure alignment of reporting principles.

NAV03 Implementation of P-RNAV (By:12/2012)
[Essential] Late
The restructuring of the airspace around Larnaca airport in accordance with ICAO PANS OPS requirements is at a mature stage. A Terminal Area has been designed, new fixed transition altitude has been decided and new conventional STARS and SIDS and let down procedures are already designed. The same airspace design concept will also apply for Paphos as soon as the Larnaca procedures are published. The process is expected to be completed in the second half of 2014. Cyprus will implement RNAV 1/RNP procedures to be supported though the use of GNSS. The RNAV 1 SIDS and STARS will overlay the new conventional procedures. In an environment without adequate ground navigation infrastructure, the SID/STAR application of RNAV 1 might necessitate exclusive application of GNSS. In this phase, aircraft that do not meet the RNAV 1 Standards (non‐capable) will be requested to fly on VOR/DME/NDB routes, whereas aircraft that meet the RNAV 1 Standards (capable) are to fly in general on RNAV routes (Mixed Operations). These RNAV1 trajectories will also improve efficiency in running continuous climb and descent operations.

A project for the Design and Publication of APV/Baro and/or APV/SBAS procedures is initiated and shall follow the completion of NAV03. The Approach Procedures (RNAV GNSS) with vertical guidance (APV) shall use barometric inputs (APV Baro‐VNAV). APV Baro‐VNAV criteria is waiting for enhancements like offset criteria and Vertical Error Budget (VEB) methodology. The standard approach procedure will be GNSS based. This will significantly contribute to improving safety because it reduces pilot workload and prevents CFIT. ILS will be retained and ground based approaches are considered to be essential for contingency purposes. A project for the development of a national safety case for APV/Baro operations and/or APV/SBAS operations is initiated.
