**Summary of Discussions**

Third Meeting of the

Cross Polar Trans-East Air Traffic Management Working Group

(Cross Polar WG/3)

24-26 April 2007, Arlington, Virginia, USA

**1.0 Background**

1.1 The Third Meeting of the Cross Polar Trans-East Air Traffic
Management Working Group (CPWG) was held at the AMTI conference center
in Arlington, VA, USA from 24-26 April 2007. The CPWG provides a forum
to improve the provision of air traffic services (ATS) to aircraft which
operate between North America and Asia via Cross Polar and Russian Trans
East routes. The CPWG is composed of representatives from the Air
Navigation Service (ANS) providers of Russia, Canada, Iceland and the
United States (US) as well as representatives from international
organizations representing airspace operator groups (e.g., the
International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International
Business Aviation Council (IBAC)) who operate in the subject airspace.

**2.0 Welcome and Opening Remarks**

2.1 The opening remarks for the meeting were presented by the Federal
Aviation Administration's Director of Safety and Operations Support, Mr.
Luis Ramirez. The meeting was facilitated by Mr. John Lane, FAA's
Support Manager for Airspace and Procedures at the Anchorage Air Route
Traffic Control Center (ARTCC).

2.2 Mr. Ramirez welcomed the participants on behalf of the FAA and
remarked on the large user contingent participating in the meeting[^1].
He noted that this level of user participation is an indication of the
importance of the Cross Polar and Trans-East airspace. He also suggested
that the upcoming summer Olympics, which will be held in China in 2008,
will only serve to make this airspace ever more important. Lastly, Mr.
Ramirez reminded the group of the upcoming May meeting of the ICAO
Trans-Regional Airspace and Supporting ATM Systems Steering Group
(TRASAS) and that FAA will be pleased to present an information paper to
that group reporting the CPWG's progress.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

**5.0 Agenda Item 2: Administrative matters**

5.1 WP/3 -- "Cross Polar Working Group Terms of Reference." The group
reviewed and discussed the draft Terms of Reference (TOR). Discussion
centered on two items: whether, and in what form, CPWG should recognize
ICAO's newly forming TRASAS group and, whether or not the CPWG core
group should be expanded. The conclusion of the group regarding the TOR
was that it should be modified so as to generally acknowledge TRASAS,
and other international groups, such as the China, Mongolia, Russian and
IATA (CMRI) group, whose work affects the Cross Polar airspace, and to
await developments from TRASAS to determine a further course of action.
The general consensus of CPWG was a desire to work with ICAO in
accomplishing those goals held in common, (and to inform ICAO of that
desire) but also to maintain some level of independence in order to
maximize efficiency. In regards to CPWG composition, the agreement was
reached that CPWG should focus on the Cross Polar traffic flow, i.e.
North America to Asia via Polar and Russian Trans-East routings, and
that the group's current composition was sufficiently diverse to serve
its goals. The revised and finalized version of the TOR is attached as
Attachment A.

**6.0 Agenda Item 3: Report of relevant outcomes from other meetings**

6.1 Anchorage ARTCC provided an update to the group covering associated
meetings, traffic count numbers and automation changes in the Anchorage
FIRs. Anchorage briefed that the next Informal Pacific ATC Coordinating
Group (IPACG) meeting will occur May 14-18, 2007 and be held in
Anchorage, AK, USA. Previous reports of the IPACG group can be found at:
<http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/ipacg.htm>.

Anchorage advised the group that westbound Cross Polar and Russian
Trans-East traffic has grown by 47% for 2006 over 2005. As in previous
reports, route G212 (over entry point VALDA) continues to have the
greatest utilization with over 7000 operations for the year.

Anchorage briefed on the status of the Advanced Technologies and Oceanic
Procedures / Ocean21 (ATOP/Ocean21) automation system. Effective March
1, 2007, Ocean21 was implemented in the Anchorage Oceanic FIR (Anchorage
Sectors 10 and 11). On April 12th this airspace was slightly expanded.
FAA is currently studying the proposal to implement the system into the
Anchorage Arctic FIR (Anchorage's Sector 4).

Anchorage ARTCC's update may be found in the associated power point file
titled: "[FAA Update for Cross Polar
WG-3](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/FAA_Airspace_Procedures_Update.ppt)."

6.5 Cathay Pacific Airways presented [a detailed
study](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/WIN06_analysis.ppt)
of optimum routings for its Los Angeles to Hong Kong flights. The study
primarily covered the winter months of 2006. Based on their analysis,
Cathay suggests the creation of three new entry points to the Russian
Trans-East. These are: 6205.03N 17621.13W, 6058.0N 17823.22W, and
5858.9N 17742.87E. Cathay noted that their use of these routings was
becoming a year round utilization and that they expected traffic to
increase. Flights using the Russian Trans-East were saving an average of
3 to 4 thousand pounds of fuel each over other routings.

6.7 Nav Canada updated the group on the completion of an arctic airspace
[Satellite Communications (SATCOM) voice
trial](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/NAVCANSATCOM.ppt).
The trial was conducted between November 1^st^ and December 20^th^ 2006.
The goal of the trial was to assess the feasibility of using SATCOM
voice for routine ATS communications. The trial included an examination
of aircrew and HF radio operator procedures, the effect of the SATCOM
shadow, connection times for SATCOM calls compared to HF Radio calls,
and the overall cost associated with use of SATCOM voice. Nav Canada has
concluded that SATCOM voice is a viable alternative to HF communications
and is taking steps to incorporate its use into daily operations.

Nav Canada also provided a brief overview of its "NAVCAN STAR" software.
This software contains a database of aircraft registrations linked to
aircraft SATCOM voice dialing numbers. This software was utilized in the
SATCOM voice trial and modifications to it may allow direct importation
into Edmonton ACC's voice switching system. Nav Canada's report of this
software is contained in the associated power point file titled:
"[NAVCAN
STAR](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/NAVCAN_STAR.ppt)."

6.8 State ATM Corporation provided a review of Cross Polar and
Trans-East
[traffic](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/Russia_Traffic_Statistics_brf.ppt).
They noted that, of the 4 existing Polar entry points, RAMEL and ORVIT
continue to have the highest usage. Overall, Polar traffic increased
slightly more than 42% 2006 over 2005. Trans-East traffic increased over
19% 2006 over 2005.

State ATM's report also noted that while United, Continental and Air
Canada remained the preponderant users of Cross Polar routes, Korean
Airlines had also instituted a significant flight schedule through the
region. State ATM advised that they expected new users, providing new
city pair service, to begin flying in the near future.

**7.0 Agenda Item 4: Review and update of Action Items**

7.1 The revised and updated CPWG Action Item list is located as
Attachment B of this report. All of the outstanding action items from
the Russian/American Coordinating Group for Air Traffic Control
(RACGAT), as well as those items generated from the "mini" RACGAT
meetings, have been either closed or incorporated in the CPWG's work
agenda.

**8.0 Agenda Item 5: Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS)
and Air Traffic Management (ATM)**

8.1 [Cathay Pacific Airways Report of RFE
Trial](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/CathayPacific_RFE TRIAL.pps).
Julian Fung of Cathay Pacific Airways (CPA) provided the meeting with a
report concerning the recently completed "Russian Far East" flex track
trial conducted by FAA (Oakland and Anchorage ARTCCs) and CPA.

Mr. Fung noted that from CPA's perspective the trial was a large
success. The trial consisted of utilizing the FAA's Dynamic Ocean Track
System (DOTS+) to generate minimum time tracks from the U.S. west coast
to the Russian entry fixes VALDA and BESAT. These tracks were
coordinated directly with CPA and were available for their late night
departures off of Los Angeles and San Francisco airports. CPA noted that
the flex track trial saved an average of 6.3 minutes flying time for
each flight as well as an average 535 KG (1177 Lbs) of fuel. Mr. Fung
advised that contrary to previous thoughts, CPA would most likely desire
to utilize this flex track system on a year round basis. Mr. Fung also
requested the trial be expanded to include entry point FRENK.

Mr. Lane stated that FAA was pleased to have been able to complete the
trial but also noted that it had been a workload intensive operation. He
mentioned that the trial was a success due to the efforts of both
Controllers and Traffic Management Specialists alike.

Mr. Cameron, (UAL), stated that if the trial could be expanded to
daytime west coast departures, United Airlines would be happy to
participate.

Mr. Lane that advised that FAA would take steps to resume the trial, to
include entry point FRENK, as quickly as possible, but that for the
immediate future the trial would remain limited to the late night time
period.

8.2 [Russian Route Catalogue
Update](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/Current_Route_depiction.pdf).
Mr. Buevich provided a briefing updating State ATM's Cross Polar and
Trans-East route catalogue.

Mr. Buevich noted that ATS route G226 had been established and would be
available after June 7, 2007. This route provides a new entry point on
the Anchorage / Magadan FIR boundary labeled "NIKIN." Route G902 has
also been established beginning at FRENK. G902 will also be available
after June 7^th^. Two new routes are being proposed; TER-6 and TER-9.
These routes will terminate on the Anchorage / Anadyr FIR boundary
between VALDA and BESAT. New transition routes are also planned for the
Magadan FIR connecting at RAMEL. These transition routes suffer from a
lack of VHF coverage, but this is expected to be corrected by the end of
2007. Mr. Buevich noted that the updated route catalogue had been
presented at a recent IATA meeting in Brussels.

8.3 WP/4 -- "[JCAB's Proposal for improving the trial operation of
Kamchatka 4 (B932)](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/cross_polar.htm),"

WP/7 -- "[Review of B932 Demonstration Flights & Proposals for
Improvement](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/cross_polar.htm), and WP/6 --
"[Proposal for realignment of, and RVSM trial along, ATS Route
B932](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/Cross_Polar_WG_3_WP6_B932_Realignment.pdf)."
These three papers shared a common theme and where presented in the
previously stated order by Mr. Natsuki Ibe of Japan's Civil Aviation
Bureau, Mr. Alexey Buevich of Russia's State ATM Corporation and Mr.
Mark McClure of FAA's Anchorage ARTCC.

The primary goal of all three papers is to improve capacity and
utilization of ATS route B932. JCAB's proposal was to increase the
route's capacity by decreasing required longitudinal separation from 60
minutes to 15 minutes, and to increase the route's utilization by
permitting bi-directional traffic. State ATM's proposal concurred with
these ideas and also suggested making B932 a permanent route as well as
realigning it so as to exit the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky FIR at position
BAMOK rather than at KOKES. FAA's proposal included all of the foregoing
and added the thought of extending B932 eastwards from the
Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky / Anchorage FIR boundary to a point on the
Alaska mainland. FAA's proposal also suggested an RVSM trial, utilizing
cleared levels denoted in feet, thru the Russian airspace.

All three papers where met with great approval by IATA and the Operator
representatives. IATA noted that this route, B932, was a restatement of
the old "Kamchatka 4" route proposal that had been originated during the
very first RACGAT meeting several years ago. IATA, and various
Operators, applauded the ATS providers' efforts to bring this issue to a
final conclusion.

Mr. Ibe noted that JCAB regulations require ATS routes be paired with
ground based navigational aids, and that prior to B932 being made a
permanent route, JCAB would need to increase the operational hours of
the Membetsu VOR (TBE). He also noted that the Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between State ATM and JCAB permitting the route will
expire this fall.

Mr. Buevich noted that although B932 has been little utilized since its
inception, numerous Operators have obtained Russian route approval. He
also noted that voice communications for the route, both HF and VHF,
have proven acceptable and that no other difficulties have been observed
with the provision of ATC services. He suggested that State ATM and JCAB
work towards reducing required longitudinal separation to the 15 minute
standard while simultaneously completing the process to make B932
permanent. He felt that this could be accomplished via the renewed MOU.

Mr. McClure noted that B932's current alignment caused the route to
conflict with NOPAC route R220 and that this was a major factor in
denying bi-directional use. The proposal by Russia to realign the route
over BAMOK vice KOKES would do much to correct this. Completion of the
work detailed in IP/3, and the extension of B932 eastwards from BAMOK to
Cape Romanzof (CZF) would permit Anchorage ARTCC to beginning accepting
eastbound B932 traffic.

The work necessary to accomplish the B932 changes are outlined in the
CPWG Action Item list.

8.4 IP/3 -- "[Plan for Reorganization of Air Traffic Service Routes
within the OME (Nome), BESAT and NEONN
triangle](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/Cross_PolarWG_3_WP5_Polar_Lateral_Standard.pdf)."
Anchorage ARTCC presented a plan to re-organize the traffic flow within
the OME-BESAT-NEONN triangle. A major point of the plan was the
elimination of ATS route R338 between OME and MARCC.

Anchorage presented that the air traffic transitioning to the North
Pacific route structure (NOPAC) from the northeast, i.e. from the
northeast of OME, would be re-directed instead to Cape Romanzof (CZF)
and then on to NOLTI (for transition to route R220). Anchorage noted
that this realignment would greatly reduce the workload for air traffic
controllers by decreasing the airspace complexity.

Current operations require air traffic controllers to transition
westbound and eastbound Russin Trans-East traffic to/from metric
altitude assignments while maintaining separation from the northeast to
southwest NOPAC transition traffic which maintains conventional
altitudes, i.e. flight levels measured in feet.

The removal of R338, and the subsequent re-routing of traffic over CZF
would permit the two traffic flows to cross further east in Anchorage
ARTCC airspace, (where there is full RADAR coverage) and would also
allow ATC to transition westbound Trans-East traffic to meters after the
cross and eastbound Trans-East traffic to feet before the cross.
Anchorage felt strongly that this realignment was a necessary precursor
to the opening of new routes thru the area to the Russian Trans-East.

Operators noted that elimination of R338, and the associated re-routing
over CZF, would add considerably to overall route length and would
thereby increase their costs. The Operators requested Anchorage to
provide a statistical analysis of route R338 utilization.8.1 IP/1 -
"ICAO RVSM Implementation Task Force (RVSM/TF/30) Meeting." FAA
presented this paper reporting the results of the latest ICAO RVSM task
force meeting. The significance of the task force meeting was two fold;
China announced that they would implement RVSM in November 2007 and,
that they would continue utilizing metric altitude assignments. All
members of the CPWG acknowledged that implementation of RVSM by *Russia*
were a much desired goal; in fact the primary goal according to the
International Airline Transport Association (IATA) representative, but
also realized that it was a complex task.

8.5 WP/5 -- "[Proposal for the harmonization of Lateral Separation
Standards utilized within the Polar
"Region.](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/Cross_PolarWG_3_WP5_Polar_Lateral_Standard.pdf)"
FAA presented this paper which suggests the CPWG undertake an effort to
harmonize the lateral separation standard used within the various Polar
FIRs.

Discussion of this paper did not lead to immediate group consensus,
however several interesting and pertinent details were exchanged.
Anchorage noted that the lateral separation requirement within the
Anchorage Arctic FIR is 90 nautical miles between flight's centerlines.
State ATM advised that the national rules of airspace utilization
currently do not make a distinction between lateral separation standards
applied over continental and oceanic areas. Therefore, Russia currently
applies 60 kilometers between centerlines as a minimum in oceanic areas.
Nav Canada reported they use the Canadian Mininum Navigation Performance
(CMNPS) standard of 60 nautical miles between centerlines and Isavia
noted that Iceland also uses the 60 nautical mile standard but that it
is defined as the North Atlantic Minimum Navigation Performance (NAT
MNPS) Standard.

Mr. Behrens, (IATA) opined that since ICAO was supporting development of
the RNP-10 standard world wide, this would be the appropriate standard
for the group to work towards. He also noted as an aside that the RNP-10
nomenclature would soon be replaced by the name "*RNAV*-10." Nav Canada
responded that although RNP-10 did have wide acceptance, their plans
called for the introduction of a lessor minimum such as RNP-4 or RNP-2.
Anchorage noted that implementation of RNP-4 or 2 would certainly
require surveillance and, that based on current constraints,
surveillance was not possible.

The group's consensus was that this issue, while deemed highly
worthwhile, would require considerable effort and time to accomplish. As
a first step, Anchorage suggested that a common document be created
listing the various separation standards and CNS capabilities currently
available in the Polar FIRs. This suggestion was accepted and
incorporated into the group's Action Item list.

8.6 Presentation of "[Edmonton Area Control Centre and Northern Airspace
and Polar
Routes](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/CZEG_APRIL_POLAR_PRESENT_3rd_DFT.ppt)"
by Mr. Bryon Carlson of Nav Canada's Edmonton Area Control Centre (ACC).

Nav Canada's briefing provided a concise and cogent description of the
current ATM and CNS architecture found in the Edmonton FIR.

The briefing also described the difficulties Edmonton ACC is
experiencing with the Cross Polar traffic flow and suggested some
possible alternative actions which might be taken to alleviate the
problems.

The first problem noted is the perceived conflict between the Canadian
Air Traffic Control "Manual of Operations" (MANOPS) requirement for
"first come, first served" service provision and the implied priority
users obtain thru compliance with FAA's Polar Track Advisory "Gateway
Reservation List" (GRL). Nav Canada advises this issue may be resolved
thru an alteration of the MANOPS itself recognizing the GRL priority.

The second problem noted, and the most sever, is that the GRL is not
effective in delivering aircraft to the Cross Polar entry fixes, i.e.
the entry fixes on the Russian FIR boundaries, in an acceptable manner.
Aircraft with GRL reservations for higher altitudes are being "trapped"
below aircraft with lower altitude GRL reservations. Additionally,
aircraft are arriving into the Edmonton FIR with inadequate longitudinal
spacing requiring ATC to take extreme measures, such as holding aircraft
in non-RADAR airspace on HF frequencies, in order to achieve required
spacing. Nav Canada suggests that this situation might be alleviated by
removing FL380 as one of the available altitudes in the Track Advisory
program. This action would reduce slot availability by one third, but
would better meter traffic by increasing the likelihood that the actual
aircraft spacing would match the planned spacing created thru the GRL.

A third problem noted was Flight Crew compliance with ATC instructions
versus a perceived need to comply with the GRL estimate. Edmonton
Controllers report that Flight Crews on occasion are not accepting
clearances designed to maintain or achieve spacing. Rather, the Flight
Crews appear to be operating under the belief that they are required to
fly their aircraft in such a manner as to comply with the gateway
estimate their dispatch office has previously filed. Nav Canada
emphasized, and FAA agreed, that the GRL as currently orchestrated is a
*Strategic* tool. Operators attending the meeting acknowledged this last
statement and agreed to brief their flight crews appropriately.

In response to Nav Canada's briefing, FAA noted that steps are being
taken to strengthen the Track Advisory program. In June of this year, a
software update will be made to the Dynamic Ocean Track System (DOTS+),
which generates the Cross Polar GRL, such that updates to the GRL will
be sent out automatically rather than having to be individually
requested. Additionally, work is underway to design, develop and deploy
an internet "web" based tool, i.e. Online Track Advisory or OLTA, which,
besides providing an easier interface, will advance the track advisory
program into "real time" by incorporating position report data.

Nav Canada's recommendation to remove FL380 from the track advisory
program did not reach consensus, but the group did agree that Edmonton
should monitor airlines use of FL380 and report back at the next
meeting.

8.7 Presentation by Solarmetrics regarding Space Weather, "[What is it
and what does it
affect?](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/Bryn_Jones_spaceweatherbrf.ppt)"

Mr. Bryn Jones of Solarmetrics Corp. provided the meeting with a back
ground briefing on the issue of Space Weather. In general space weather
refers to changes to the space environment near Earth which may
negatively impact both the health and operation of human systems as well
as electro-magnetic technological systems such as HF communications.

Mr. Jung Sik Kim of Korean Airlines (KAL) noted that this briefing was
particularly helpful for him since health issues connected with Polar
flight operations are currently a subject of great interest and concern
to KAL flight staff.

8.8 Presentation by Radio Propagation Services, INC. (RPI) concerning
"[Effective HF
Communications](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/John_Goodman_brfpt1.ppt)."

Mr. John Goodman of Radio Propagation Services, INC. provided the
meeting a briefing on research completed by RPI concerning improvement
to HF provision in the Polar region. Mr. Goodman noted that RPI has
developed software which will allow airline dispatch as well as flight
crews to determine the optimum HF frequencies for use at any given time.
While this software was developed primarily as an aid to Long Distance
Operational Control (LDOC), it could be modified to aid ATS provision of
HF service.

8.10 IP/1 -- "[Report of the ICAO RVSM Implementation Task Force
(RVSM/TF/30)
Meeting](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/CrossPolarWG_3_IP1RVSMTF30.pdf)."
Mr. John Jordan provided this
[briefing](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/briefings/FAA_statusonChinaRVSM.ppt)
on behalf of FAA.

The highlight of the briefing was the notice of China's decision to
proceed with a 22 November 2007 RVSM implementation. The briefing also
emphasized that China would remain with a metric Flight Level Allocation
Scheme (FLAS).

Mr. Buevich for State ATM confirmed that Russia was working with the
Chinese to assist their November implementation, but reiterated that no
target date has been set for RVSM implementation in Russia.

Mr. Behrens for IATA noted that the Chinese plan would be an interesting
exercise since it was the first implementation of RVSM with a metric
FLAS.

8.11 IP/2 -- "[ICAO Trans-East Regional Airspace Organization and ATM
Supporting Steering Group First Meeting
(TRASAS/1)](http://www.faa.gov/ats/ato/150_docs/cross_polar/CPWG3/IP2_Invitation_TOR.pdf)."
Ms. Carey Fagan, Air Traffic Organization -- Planning International,
presented this paper on behalf of FAA.

The paper detailed the upcoming first meeting of the TRASAS group. Ms.
Fagan noted that TRASAS was being formed as a high level steering group,
not as a technical operations working group. She predicted that TRASAS
may feel the need to create sub-working groups, but stated that FAA
would continue to support the CPWG as the appropriate technical working
group for the Cross Polar and Trans-East traffic flows. Mr. Dave Behrens
of IATA expressed his hope that TRASAS would not follow the path of
previous groups and become overly politicized. He also recommended that
ICAO become more cognizant of the mult-national calendar when selecting
meeting dates.

8.12 WP/2 -- "Review and update of Action Items from previous meetings."

The revised Action Item list is attached as Attachment C. Anchorage
noted that the document had been editorially amended to make it more
goal directed. The overall goal of the group's efforts was to refine and
reorganize the Action item list into a more cogent and cohesive
statement regarding the group's goals. To this end, several items where
removed from the list; some because they had been previously
accomplished, some because they did not state a realizable goal, and
some because they were redundant. Open items from RACGAT where
considered and where appropriate where added to the Action Item list.

**9.0 Agenda Item 6: 2007-2008 Cross Polar Work Program**

9.1 The CPWG's work program for the upcoming year is to progress the
work, on both near and long term goals, by completing as many elements
of the Action Item list as possible. Readers of this report are
encouraged to review the CPWG Action Item list for further details.

**10.0 Agenda Item 7: Other business**

10.1 The two topics included under this agenda item, i.e. TRASAS and
IPACG, were covered earlier in the meeting and are reported else where
in this document.

**11.0 Agenda Item 8: Next Meeting**

11.1 The location and date of the next Cross Polar WG meeting (CPWG/4)
is tentatively scheduled for Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on September
18-20, 2007.

**Cross Polar Trans-East ATM Working Group**

**Terms of Reference**

[Introduction]{.underline}

The Cross Polar Trans-East Air Traffic Management (ATM) Working Group
(Cross Polar WG) provides a forum to improve the provision of air
traffic services (ATS) to aircraft which operate between North America
and Asia via Cross Polar and Russian Trans East routes. The Cross Polar
WG shall be composed of Air Navigation Service (ANS) provider
representatives from Russia, Canada, Iceland and the United States (US)
and representatives from international organizations representing
airspace operator groups (e.g., the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) and International Business Aviation Council (IBAC))
who operate in the subject airspace.

Although the Cross Polar WG will focus primarily on Cross Polar and
Trans-East airspace issues, in order to promote seamless, efficient and
safe ATS, representatives from other organizations and ANS providers,
including, but not limited to China, Mongolia, and Japan, may also be
invited to participate in Cross Polar WG activities, as appropriate.

The Cross Polar WG is cognizant of other international bodies, both long
standing as well as newly formed, which share many of its concerns and
goals. The Cross Polar WG is committed to working cooperatively with
these groups and is prepared to share its expertise as, and when,
requested. Correspondence between the groups will include the
dissemination of Cross Polar WG meeting minutes to ensure thorough
coordination of efforts.

[Purpose and Scope of Work]{.underline}

The Cross Polar WG addresses Cross Polar and Russian Trans East aviation
issues focusing on continued improvements to operational efficiency
through enhanced coordination, harmonized procedures and implementation
of new technologies. Members work cooperatively to accomplish the WG
activities, which may include:

1.  Promotion of ATM and/or communications, navigation, surveillance
    (CNS) initiatives and associated technologies designed to improve
    safety, increase operational and economic efficiency and/or
    capacity, and harmonize ANS;

2.  Harmonized implementation of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum
    (RVSM);

3.  Pursuit of new Polar ATS routes and/or tracks with entry/exit points
    on Flight Information Region (FIR) boundaries;

4.  Development of air traffic flow management (ATFM) procedures
    designed to improve capacity/efficiency and overcome existing
    limitations;

5.  Sharing information on plans for enhancing compatibility of air
    traffic operations and systems; and

6.  Supporting the goals and objectives of associated International
    Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) groups such as the European Air
    Navigation Planning Group (EANPG), the Asia/Pacific Air Navigation
    Planning and Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG), the North
    Atlantic Systems Planning Group (NAT SPG), the Trans-Regional
    Airspace and Supporting ATM Systems Steering (TRASAS) Group, and the
    Informal Pacific ATS Coordination Group (IPACG).

[Meeting Schedule]{.underline}

The Cross Polar WG meetings will normally be scheduled for approximately
three days and will take place bi-annually or as needed. Locations of
the meetings will vary. The length and timing of each meeting may be
adjusted to accommodate the work program. Work may also be conducted via
other methods such as conference calls and/or electronic mail.

[Management of Meetings]{.underline}

The US will be responsible to facilitate each Cross Polar WG meeting.
ANS providers from Russia, Canada, Iceland and other States will provide
points of contact to coordinate issues on behalf of each ANS provider.
The facilitator will ensure that the outcomes of each meeting, including
follow-up action items, are documented and distributed to participants
in a summary. Notes, briefings and action items will be made available
electronically to the greatest extent possible. Russia, Canada, Iceland
and the US will share joint responsibilities for collaboratively
developing and maintaining a comprehensive work program including target
dates and milestones to be achieved.

Hosting responsibilities will be shared amongst the ANS Providers i.e.,
U.S., Russia, Canada and Iceland. The Host will be responsible for
organizing and funding logistical arrangements for the meeting. Meeting
attendees will be responsible for the cost of travel, meals and related
personal expenses incurred by meeting attendance.

The working language of the meeting will be English and meeting
documentation will be provided in English. If needed, interpretation
services will be provided by the parties requiring interpretation.
