● ATFM simulations on 4 different days of Jan/Feb 2005, comparing ATFM situation with and without airborne data.

● Reduction in over-deliveries from 7% to 4.9%.

● Reduction in number of delayed flights by 7%.

● Reduction in ATFM delay by approximately 17%.

2.5 million min of ATFM delay reduction.

Delay reduction due to capacity increase, not measured

DEPARTURE MONITORINGDEPARTURE MONITORING

Flight Activation Monitoring (FAM) increases accuracy.

In August 2007: ● 67% flights are monitored.

● 18.5% are updated.

● 533 flights suspended.

● 286 updated by AO after suspension

● 108 never updated Ghosts.

● (139 airborne when suspended)

EFFECT ON OPERATIONAL PROCEDURESEFFECT ON OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

● Better overall view on Traffic Situation for NMOC (CFMU) for Tactical Flow Management

● Look at network effect during Tactical Operations

● Can only be done with reliable/accurate flight data Optimise ATFM Daily Plan (delete / modify regulations) by NMOC

(CFMU)

Increased confidence in counts by ATC

● Management of Critical Events Strikes, runway closure, ...

Search for special flights
