Expected performance benefits
Safety : The systematic presentation of imminent and actual unauthorized penetrations into airspace volumes to controllers
ahead of their occurrence, as provided by APW, is a major safety assurance tool.
Capacity : N/A
Cost-effectiveness : Standardisation of APW enables cost-effective use of scarce resources and is in particular a critical success factor for
smaller ASP.

ATC02.6
Implement ground based safety nets - Minimum Safe Altitude Warning - level 2REG ASP MIL APO USE INT IND
ESSIP Plan Edition 2012
Description & purpose
Implement and make operational use of the MSAW ground based safety net.
Minimum Safe Altitude Warning (MSAW) is intended to warn the air traffic controller (ATCO) about the increased risk of controlled flight into terrain by generating, in a timely manner, an alert of aircraft proximity to terrain or obstacles.
Terrain and traffic characteristics can lead to a significant safety risk that can be mitigated by this tool.
Note:(1) Military ATC authorities are invited to consider implementation of MSAW level 2 when providing ATS surveillance services to GAT (2) Existing draft EUROCONTROL Specification for MSAW could be used as guidance material (ref. supporting material of individual SLoAs)
Applicable area(s) Operational capability dates FOR THIS OBJECTIVE
All ECAC States
Selected portions of airspace in which ATS surveillance services are provided. Deployment according to local needs (e.g.: terrain and traffic characteristics as identified by concerned stakeholders).
Initial operational capability: 01/2009
Full operational capability: 12/2016

Description & purpose
Implement and make operational use of the Approach Path Monitor (APM) ground based safety net.
An approach path monitor (APM) is a ground based Safety Net intended to warn the controller about increased risk of controlled flight into terrain accidents by generating, in a timely manner, an alert of aircraft proximity to terrain or obstacles during final approach.
Terrain and traffic characteristics can lead to a significant safety risk that can be mitigated by this tool.
Note:1) Military ATC units are invited to consider implementation of APM level 2 when providing ATS surveillance services to GAT (2) Existing draft EUROCONTROL Specification for APM could be used as guidance material (ref. supporting material of individual SLoAs)
