AB The SESAR programme aims at developing the future European air traffic managementsystem. It focuses on four keys areas: capacity, safety, efficiency and environment. In viewof the expected growth in air traffic demand in the coming years, the current goal is toincrease the airspace capacity, which is already close to saturation in many cases.Currently, the separation standards applied in a given volume of airspace are fixed, bothhorizontally and vertically, which means that in many cases this is one of the determiningfactors of capacity. Separation management is an area where improvement is sought, inparticular through the application of new operational concepts (separation modes) whichinclude the redefinition of aircraft separation minima. One of the solutions to beinvestigated is the variable (Ad Hoc) separation proposal put forward by SESAR.This future concept implies a change in the application of separation minima from thecurrent fixed standards to a new variable approach. With this new concept, ATCo (AirTraffic Controller) would separate aircraft by applying different separation minima in thesame volume of airspace. These separation values are tactically determined for eachparticular aircraft pair (Ad Hoc) depending on a number of factors: aircraft categories,encounter geometry, atmospheric conditions, etc.Applying different separation minima in the same volume of airspace implies a substantialchange in some of the ATC activities. Also, new functionalities in ATC support tools areneeded. This study presents the Ad Hoc separation operational concept and provides thebasis for the development of the algorithm for calculating variable separation minima.
