Implementation Overview
LSSIP 2022 - MONTENEGRO
LOCAL SINGLE SKY IMPLEMENTATION
FOREWORD
The EUROCONTROL Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) is a long-standing successful process (almost
30 years) that, in combination with the European ATM Master Plan (Level 3), reaches out on a yearly and
continuous basis to all ECAC and Comprehensive States stakeholders to ensure the monitoring of the ATM
Modernisation in Europe.
In 2021, a major milestone has been achieved by the EUROCONTROL Network Manager and the SESAR
Deployment Manager (SDM) Teams by implementing a unified planning and monitoring process that
addresses the introduction of new systems, functionalities and procedures.
For the second year in a row, LSSIP will ensure the monitoring of implementation of the functionalities
detailed in the SESAR Deployment Programme, on which the European Commission is counting to ensure
compliance according to the EU Regulation 2021/116.
This year we have further developed tools and processes and a revised calendar, increasing the accuracy
of the LSSIP reporting. EUROCONTROL will continue along this path to be an essential part of the single
value chain that coordinates all steps from development to deployment with the goal to steer and
accelerate the modernisation of ATM across ECAC in support of European aviation.
The economic crisis keeps affecting all operational stakeholders in the aviation sector. It is in this
challenging context that the support of civil and military national organisations (Regulators and National
Supervisory Authorities, Air Navigation Service Providers and Airport Operators) to timely provide their
data, shows the commitment towards a robust planning and monitoring process for the European ATM
implementation in our evolving environment.
In addition to providing a consolidated picture of implementation progress at National and ECAC level,
LSSIP National documents are paramount for the development of ICAOs Aviation System Block Upgrades
(ASBUs) Implementation Monitoring Report in the ICAO EUR Region. On behalf of ICAO, EUROCONTROL is
responsible for delivering this yearly update, for all 55 ICAO/EUR States, in accordance with the Global Air
Navigation Plan (GANP).
From this year on, the new EUR RASP questionnaire from EASA has been implemented into the LSSIP
process enlarging the view that the process offers on the modernisation of the European ATM system.
I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their continued engagement and significant effort in
contributing to the production of this LSSIP document and in supporting EUROCONTROL towards our goal
of diligently guiding and informing the Aviation community on ATM deployment.
Happy reading!

Introduction
T
he Local Single Sky ImPlementation (LSSIP) documents, as an integral part of the Master Plan (MP) Level 3 (L3)/LSSIP
mechanism, constitute a short/medium term implementation plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the
Implementation Objectives as set out by the MP Level 3 and to improve the performance of their national ATM
System. This LSSIP document describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2022, together with plans
for the next years.
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the ATM institutional arrangements within the State, the membership of the
State in various international organisations, the organisational structure of the main ATM players -civil and military-
and their responsibilities under the national legislation. In addition, it gives an overview of the Airspace Organisation
and Classification, the ATC Units and the ATM systems operated by the main ANSP.
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive picture of the situation of Air Traffic, Capacity and ATFM Delay per each ACC
in the State. It shows the evolution of Air Traffic and Delay in the last five years and the forecast for the next five
years. It also presents the achieved performance in terms of delay during the summer season period and the planned
projects assumed to offer the required capacity which will match the foreseen traffic increase and keep the delay at
the agreed performance level.
Chapter 3 provides the main Implementation Projects (at national, FAB and multinational level) which contribute
directly to the implementation of the MP Operational Improvements and/or Enablers and Implementation
Objectives. The LSSIP document covers a high-level list of the projects showing the applicable links. All other details
like description, timescale, progress made and expected contribution to the ATM Key Performance Areas provided
by the State per each project are available in the LSSP DB (extraction can be asked to LSSIP FP or LSSIP CP).
C
hapter 4 deals with other cooperation activities beyond Implementation Projects. It provides an overview of the
FAB cooperation, as well as all other multinational initiatives, which are out of the FAB scope. The content of this
chapter generally is developed and agreed in close cooperation between the States concerned.
Chapter 5 contains aggregated information at State level covering the overall level of implementation,
implementation per SESAR Essential Operational Change and implementation of ICAO ASBUs. In addition, it provides
the high-level information on progress and plans of each Implementation Objective. The information for each
Implementation Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for
each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
The information contained in Chapter 5 I
mplementation Objectives Progress is deemed sufficient to satisfy State
reporting requirements towards ICAO in relation to ASBU (Aviation System Block Upgrades) monitoring.

Airspace Classification and Organisation
The Montenegrin airspace is generally divided into uncontrolled and controlled portions according to the By-law on
conditions of use and classification of airspace in Montenegro published in the Official Gazette of Montenegro No.
52/17.
ICAO classes C, D, E and G apply to Montenegrin airspace in the following manner:
a) Class C applies to all TMAs and to airspace above 10000 ft AMSL;
b) Class D applies to all CTRs;
c) Class E applies to airspace between 1500 ft AGL and 10000 ft AMSL except TMAs and CTRs; and
d) Class G applies to airspace from the ground up to 1500 ft AGL, except CTRs.
The Montenegrin airspace is sub-divided into:
a) En-route (FL145 FL660) for which the responsibility rests upon ATCC Beograd,
b) Two TMAs and CTRs for which the responsibility rests upon the Approach Offices located at the respective
airports. The lower limit of TMAs is 1500ft AGL while the upper limit is FL145 for Podgorica TMA and 7500 ft AMSL
for Tivat TMA, Tivat TMA being included within the Podgorica TMA.

The Civil Aviation Agency of Montenegro is founded by the Government as a public agency (Article 5 of the Aviation
Act, “Official Gazette of Montenegro” No30/12, 30/17 and 82/2020)) and entrusted with the tasks of regulation,
oversight, certification, licensing and record keeping in the civil aviation in Montenegro, as well as cooperating with
the international aviation organizations.
Bodies of the CAA are the Council and the Executive Director. The Council, consisting of five members, manages the
Agency. The CAA is headed by the Executive Director.
CAA is the competent authority and as such issues certificates and performs safety oversight over ANSPs.
As the ANS provision is separated from the Regulator, the CAA, apart from the above, is responsible for rule making,
collection, analysis, keeping and distribution of occurrence reports; safety performance monitoring and other tasks
defined in the transposed SES legislation.

4. Cooperation activities
Multinational cooperation initiatives
The European Common Aviation Area Agreement (ECAA Agreement), signed on 9 June 2006 and ratified by Montenegro
in November 2007, provided legal basis for a whole set of SES regulatory acts listed in Annex I of the ECAA Agreement
to be transposed into national legislative system and implemented. The ECAA Agreement entered into force in the
European Union only in December 2017 (11 years after the signing). As a significant number of regulations had been
published during this period, a new updated Annex 1 was adopted by the European Commission and published in the
Official Journal of the EU in August 2019. Montenegro has initiated legal changes with the purpose of transposition of
updated Annex 1 to the ECAA Agreement into national legal system.
Montenegro was a beneficiary of ISIS and ISIS II programme (Implementation of the Single European Sky in the South
East Europe) which provided support to the state in developing institutional capacity to implement EU regulations.
Montenegro was a beneficiary of BEYOND (EGNSS Building Capacity on EU Neighbouring multimodal Domains) and
CaBilAvi (Capacity Building for aviation Stakeholders) projects, promoting the use of EGNSS in countries neighbouring
the EU and building technical and operational capacity for the use of EGNOS.
On 1 February 2018, South East Common Sky Initiative Free Route Airspace (SECSI FRA) was implemented above FL 205
by ANSPs from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro and Slovenia, offering airspace users
significant benefits along the South East Axis, by delivering the shortest routes options from Central Europe to Greece,
Egypt or Turkey.

By allowing the use of ADS-B data that has been
validated against data derived in parallel by a
WAM system, the system can help to reduce
the number of interrogations and number of
replies and therefore reduce the 1030/1090
MHz RF load and improve spectrum efficiency.
It achieves this through the integrati
on of
validated data items into the WAM channel,
thereby preventing a need to re-interrogate the
data item. Since the two surveillance layers
share hardware components, the system offers
improved cost efficiency. Furthermore, the use
of the system contribu
tes to an improved
security by successfully mitigating associated
ADS-B threats. SESAR has contributed to the
relevant standards, such as EUROCAE technical
specifications for WAM and ADS-B that are

The SESAR Solution “Reducing landing minima
in low visibility conditions using enhanced Flight
vision systems (EFVS)” is intended for flight
crews and corresponds to the use of EFVS visual
based technologies displayed in HUD or an
equivalent display system. The objective is to
provide operational credit in approach as
permitted per EASA EU 965/2012 and its
coming amendments (NPA 2018-06 AWO) to
face to Low visibility conditions. Enabling EFVS
operations with operational credits provides a
greater availability of suitable destination and
alternate aerodromes during periods of
reduced visibility. This effectively reduces the
number of weather-
related delays,
cancellations or diversions of flights to CAT II/III
aerodrome
s, permits shorter routings and
reduced fuel costs, a faster return to scheduled
operations, and less passenger inconveniences.
A unique advantage of the EFVS on board
solution is that it is mainly supported by the
aircraft system instead of airports and the need
of complex and costly ground infrastructures as
those implemented in CATII/III airports. From a
global ATM network standpoint, the EFVS
operation allows to retain traffic at most of
secondary aerodromes by providing
operational credit at most of runway ends with
precision or non-precision landing minima (LPV,
LNAV/ VNAV, ILS CAT1, etc.). The operational
credit provided by EFVS is particularly

important regarding secondary aerodromes
because they usually have CAT1 or higher than

course to the same runway
sufficiently mitigates the risk of collision
between them, provided the required
surveillance performance (RSP) are complied
with. In addition to the MRS, runway occupancy
time and wake separation constraints need to
be considered when determining the minimum
separation or spacing required to be applied

application of the 2NM minimum on final

maximum acceptable rate of under-separated

minimum radar separation that is applied is
2NM than if it were to be 2.5 NM, because the
consequences of an under-separation event are
potentially more severe. For ATC facilities with

Trajectory management is a key cornerstone of

prediction is, the better the whole ATM system
will be. Nowadays there are multiple trajectory
predictions held and maintained by air and
ground actors. They take into account different
parameters (e.g.,
aircraft model,
route/restrictions, operating preferences &
weather forecast) leading to inconsistencies
and different accuracy levels depending on
flight phases. These inconsistencies lead to an

practices already exist (e.g., in Germany) to deliver
emergency situation training to FIC staff and VFR pilots
in a coordinated manner. A sufficient number of FIC
staff should be made available to support the provision

harmonisation of services provided by civil and military

Provision of FIS across Europe is not consistent.
There are good reasons for different levels of service
provision under FIS. Level of service is a decision that
rests with the state. As long as the service meets the
minimum required by the state then the state is
deemed compliant. At the moment there are no
ongoing initiatives to harmonise FIS at the European
level. EASA is waiting for the implementation of Part
ATS and will review this later to see if any further action
is needed.
The principles and fundamentals of provision of FIS are
established in Commission Implementing Regulation No.
923/2012. The upcoming PART-ATS which will be
included in Commission Implementing Regulation
2017/373, will further detail the specific technical
requirements for FIS and provide harmonization to the
suitable extent. Based on the implementation feedback,
consideration for further refinement of existing FIS

Optimise SSR code
assignment
procedures to make
best use of
transponders’ MODE-
S, MODE A/C data
and other
surveillance methods,
e.g., ADS-B, etc.
Better utilisation of SSR codes can assist in the
identification of traffic in congested airspace. Existing
best practices should be applied as widely as possible.
For example, a “FIR or AC lost” SSR code applied by FIS
units to aircraft when pilots are unsure of their position
draws attention to the aircraft and its predicament
without multiple communications taking place across
sectors.
MODE-S data, and ADS-B are all useful tools for
reducing the risk of airspace (and even separation)
infringements by increasing the controller’s ability to
monitor and anticipate aircraft intentions.
Implementing Frequency Monitoring SSR codes would
identify that the aircraft is listening on their frequency
should the ATCO/FISO wish to call them. It is specifically
valuable for aircraft operating outside of a busy CTR.
Other examples are: implementation of mandatory
transponder areas or zones (e.g., at and above a certain
altitude or flight level); SSR codes and frequency
coupling; GA single event codes; dedicated codes for
VFR routes etc.

airspace in question. Depending on the operational
need a minimum altitude/level above which the
requirement will be applicable may be defined. Since
radio communication is not required in class G airspace,
an alternative means of reducing the probability of
severe airspace infringement incidents occurring is to
require GA flights to maintain listening watch on 121.5
MHz, except when in contact with an ATS unit. This
would help ATC contact an airspace infringing aircraft
early enough to prevent the infringement from evolving

Both electronic and hard copy (paper) versions of
maps/charts should be maintained in order to provide
the preferred means of flight briefing to the different
generations of GA pilots. Enabling downloads of current
charts or sections thereof is an improved service
requested by pilots. Further improvement could be
achieved by alerting subscribers (users) to implemented
changes/updates, for example by means of e-mail
notification messages. In addition, site visits and
seminars should be considered in the case of major
airspace changes.
Moving maps provide enhanced situational awareness
and timely warnings of airspace and airspace activity.
The safe use of moving maps is beneficial to minimizing
the risk of airspace infringements. Regulators should
encourage the use, and work with ATOs and flying clubs
on a safe concept to operate the devices in flight.

Undertake periodic
reviews of airspace
allocation and
structures within the
respective FIRs and
improve oversight of
airspace
management.
The action is designed to support the implementation of
an optimised airspace organisation that takes into
account, to the extent possible, the requirements of the
different airspace user categories, while ensuring the
safe use of airspace. Improved efficiency of airspace
allocation and management will reduce the probability
(hence the risk) of airspace infringements caused by the
practice ofcutting the corners’ of controlled and
restricted airspaces. It should include a review and
optimisation of the number and volume of restricted
airspace volumes according to their actual utilisation
parameters. The regime of restricted airspaces should
be reviewed, and tactical airspace management
procedures improved, if needed. The review should
include all airspace structures within the respective
FIRs. It should be carried out in consultation with the
concerned military organisations, airspace users and
service providers. Given its scope and the amount of
effort required, it is expected that the optimisation of

Promote membership
of flying clubs and GA
associations among

Encouraging private pilots to become members of flying
clubs, schools and/or GA associations (for example
AOPA, FAI, etc.) would support an improved downward
flow of aeronautical information (e.g., notification of
airspace changes), guidance materials and information
supply in general. It would improve availability and
accessibility of education and awareness materials and
thus contribute to raising pilots' general knowledge and
awareness of risk. However, flying schools and clubs
may have to accept that this will place additional
