The purpose of this document is to provide States, airport operators, air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and other stakeholders with environmental assessment guidance to support sound and informed decision making when analysing proposed air traffic management (ATM) operational changes. High-level principles related to the quantification of changes in aviation-related environmental impacts associated with air navigation service changes are collected in order to ensure a consistent approach to the analysis of the changes, while minimizing the risk of common assessment errors.
This provides a framework within which specific, detailed assessment methodologies can be developed that meet local requirements, while facilitating global compatibility of results. It is also intended to assist with recognizing any environmental benefits associated with operational changes. While the guidance is intended to be applied broadly, it also highlights areas of priority that may need to be considered at the local level.
