This report is the deliverable “D5.2 - Procedures validation identifying potential benefits and risks and stakeholders implementation suggestions” of the H2020 SESAR CREATE project. The purpose of this document is to provide the exercise results of the “proof-of-concept” exercise of the CREATE concept of operations (CONOPS) and its solutions (SOL) developed under the previous work packages: • CREATE-SOL-1: Multi-scale multi-pollutant air quality system (AQS); • CREATE-SOL-2: Framework for multi-aircraft environmentally-scored weather-resilient optimized 4D-trajectories in the flight execution phase, WAAP = Weather Avoidance for extended air traffic control (ATC) planning. • CREATE-SOL-3: CO2 and non-CO2 balanced environmental scores module. The main exercise objective was to test the integrated concept of the various computational modules related to the CREATE solutions, and to investigate if the solutions provide operational benefits for the following use-cases; • TMA Naples ¿ reduced local air quality (LAQ) impacts and efficient thunderstorm evasion; • En-Route North-Atlantic tracks extending into the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) area ¿ reduced environmental impacts in terms of CO2 and non-CO2 combined metric in climate sensitive areas (CSA) related to contrail formation regions (CFR), and efficient contrail and thunderstorm evasion. The methodology for the exercise was provided in the exercise plan, i.e. “D5.1 - software design for validation scenarios execution”.[4] The exercises were set up to assess the solutions for maturity level TRL1.
