ENAC expertise contributing to ICAO ATM Operations Panel discussions

A global expert community

The ATMOPSP gathers 76 experts from 34 States and international organizations . Its mission is to contribute to the continuous improvement of ICAO provisions, focusing on safety, efficiency and harmonization of ATM operations worldwide.

The latest session, ATMOPSP/8, held in Montreal, enabled the panel to review ongoing work initiated during previous sessions and intermediate working groups. The objective of these panel meetings is to consolidate and validate proposed amendments before their submission to the Air Navigation Commission.

Topics addressed include:

• Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM)


• Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)


• Digital Air Traffic Services (DATS)


• Wake turbulence


• Emergency systems


• Phraseology and operational procedures

Appointed as adviser within the French delegation, she contributes to the panel’s activities, particularly within the phraseology working group, and participates in technical discussions supporting the evolution of ICAO provisions.

Supporting global aviation through expertise
