Bottom line is: Demand Is Greater Than Capacity

Why Do We Need ATFM?

What can be done to improve capacity:

  • Gate/Apron/Airfield Design
  • Runway Efficiency (Departure and/or Arrival Rate)
  • En Route Sector Capacity

DEMAND CAPACITY

Domestic Solutions

  • Airfield Design
  • Efficient Instrument Procedure Design
  • Vertical and Dynamic Sectorisation
  • Establishing Flow Management positions in ACCs
  • Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM)

Efficient Instrument Procedure Design

  • Utilising PBN Diverging Departures
  • Reduces Departure Separation Intervals
  • Improve Runway Capacity
  • Links back to Airfield Design of Multiple

Vertical and Dynamic Sectorisation

The capacity of an ATS unit is a function of the individual sector capacities and the flexibility and adaptability of the airspace configuration and sectorisation

Establishing Flow Management Positions in ACCs

The role of the FMP is to provide the direct link between ATC and the AOs in respect to ATFM measures and events

  • Runway landing and departure rates
  • Airport declared taxi times
  • Runway configuration
  • Sector configurations
  • Unusual events that will affect capacity

(such as adverse w/x ,blocked runways or military exercises)

slide-17
SLIDE 17

GAL Air Navigation Services L.L.C Proprietary

Pre –Tactical D-2/D-1 Planning

  • Analysing expected demand ‘v’ available capacity
  • Expected traffic flow and runway configurations

based on available FP data and w/x forecasts

  • Sector configurations ‘v’ Available Staff

ACC FMP Planning

All of this should involve direct link between the FMP, ATSUs and AOs

Tactical “On the day” Plan

  • Briefing the network stakeholders (teleconference)
  • Implementing the pre-tactical plan
  • Reacting to dynamic network changes on the day

OMAA A-CDM Project Highlights

  • Target Off Block Time (TOBT) accuracy trials ongoing
  • Departure Manager (D-MAN) system to integrate with

the A-CDM system (expected Q2 2017)

  • Target Start Up Approval Time (TSAT) trial expected by Q3 2017
  • Arrival Manager System (AMAN) to optimise runway efficiency

for independent parallel operations

To Summarise:

  • 1. Employ best practice in airport design and expansion
  • 2. Utilise PBN airspace design processes to maximise

runway capacity

  • 3. Reduce complexity of en-route sectors to improve capacity
  • 4. Establish enhanced ATFM planning within ACCs with the

establishment of an FMP

  • 5. Explore the benefits of implementing A-CDM practices
