EUROCONTROL has moved forward on a number of activities that are key for Implementation Package 1 (IP1), the foundation for the ATM Master Plan.

Significant changes to the Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPs) on electronic Terrain and Obstacle Data (TOD) are underway. The European TOD stakeholder group, co-ordinated by EUROCONTROL, has produced an initial Terrain and Obstacle Data guide to clarify the SARPs further and to address some of the outstanding discrepancies. ICAO intends to publish this as the official ICAO Guidance Manual.

The Digital SNOWTAM Trial has been concluded. A pre-operational Trial was executed by EUROCONTROL between November 2009 - April 2010 in which the information contained in SNOWTAM messages (airport surface contamination with snow/ice, friction coefficient, etc.) was converted into digital data. The data was used to  create  graphical views which were made available to Airline Operational Centers.
