The Single European Sky initiative – set to modernise our airspace – outlines ambitious targets that will create a completely new operational environment, based on trajectory management, highly performing technologies and a much more strategic role for the flight crew. 

These changes are welcome and – at the same time – raise a number of challenges, such as the ability to increase both efficiency and safety. European pilots, as front end users affected by these changes, outline policy recommendations and prerequisites for successfully meeting the challenges of our future seamless skies.
