Differently Defined Flying Zone and State Approach in Case of Airborne Volcanic Ash: Impact on Flight Operations

Abstract:

Current European regulation that allows flying in forecasted, differently contaminated, volcanic ash zones as long as specific Safety Risk Assessment (SRA) is approved has the goal to reduce adverse impact that volcanic ash ejected in the atmosphere can have on air traffic management (ATM). However, the European States do not have unique understanding of this approach meaning that, in a few cases, States still decide to close their airspace in case of ash presence. Therefore, in this contribution, we analyze how definition of flying area within SRA and different State’s approach affect operations. We use volcanic ash data from the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO’s) volcanic ash exercise (VOLCEX13/01) and daily European traffic for simulation.
