The final report includes in Annex some concrete actions to be pursued. These actions have been agreed in principle by OCG on 9 March 2011. The Task Adherence Force will come together beginning of May to discuss, amongst other factors, cost and benefit of the individual actions in order to prioritise the next steps.
Some of the actions are considered to be “quick wins”, so they are planned to be implemented very soon.
The final report is available here!

The first conclusion we can make is that the Adherence Days did happen! During the trial the percentage of flights that adhered to their filed flight level in upper airspace was about 10% higher Europe-wide, with an adherence improvement of well over 30% in a significant number of ACCs. See attached a graph of Level Adherence in the upper airspace (week 39 is the week of the Adherence Days).
14. Oct, 2010
One of the largest operational trials ever organised in European airspace took place on 30 September and 1 October 2010. More than 31.500 flights took place each day across the 35 participating States. In most of the airspace, level adherence improved by more than 30%.

Flight Level Adherence Days
The initial feedback indicates that the Adherence Days took place without any major operational difficulties. Some ATCOs and pilots reported extra workload, of which some was expected already due to extra efforts to record the results, e.g. retrieving the RFL from the ATC system. [...]
[...] Many reporting forms are already coming in, and in the next coming days we expect to receive the reports from nearly all participating ACCs in the ECAC area. Electronically, nearly 100 detailed feedback have been filed, mainly from pilots and AO’s.
Thanks again for your continued commitment and active participation.
