ATM System (Doc 9854)

ATM System:A Holistic Entity

Disaggregated fordiscussion and role

understanding

The ATM System needs tobe disaggregated tounderstand the sometimescomplex interrelationshipbetween its components.

All components must bepresent in the ATM

System The ATM System cannot,however, function withoutany one of its components. The components must bere-integrated.

Global ATM system

A Worldwide system that achieves interoperability and seamlessness based on:

– Physical interconnectedness• Homogeneous ATM areas and Major Traffic flows

– Common requirements, Standards and procedures• Integration (TMAs, aerodromes)• Performance based equipment carriage requirements

– Seamless safety across all regions• For all users during all phases of flight• Provides for optimum economic operations • Environmentally• Meets security

Global Plan; adopting a performance orientation

• Implementation of air navigation systems in terms of performance, as more structured regulatory environment

• Designing, planning, implementing and operating ATM systems

• Safety – Efficiency

• Political and socio-economic expectations of society and/or the entire aviation ATM community

• The measures necessary to meet ATM expectations should govern the design of the system

ATFM Strategy

TASK DESCRIPTION START-END

STATUS

DCB • identify key stakeholders (ATC service providers and users, military authorities, airportauthorities, aircraft operators and relevant international organisations) for purposes ofcoordination and cooperation, using a CDM process;

• identify and analyse traffic flow problems and develop methods for improvingefficiencies on a gradual basis, as needed, through enhancements in current:

-airspace organization and management (AOM) and ATS routes structure(unidirectional routes) and SID and STARS,-communication, navigation and surveillance systems,- Aerodrome capacity,- ATS capacity,- training for pilots and Controllers; and- ATS letters of agreement;

• define common elements of situational awareness between FMUs;- common traffic displays,- common weather displays (Internet),- communications (teleconferences, web), and- daily teleconference/messages methodology advisories;

• develop methods to establish demand/capacity forecasting;

• develop a regional strategy and work programme for harmonized implementation ofATFM service; and,

19

ATFM Strategy Medium term (2010)

develop a regional strategy for the implementation of flexible use of airspace (FUA); assess use of airspace management processes; improve current national airspace management to adjust dynamic changes in tacticalstage to traffic flows; introduce improvements in ground support systems and associated procedures for theextension of FUA with dynamic airspace management processes; implement dynamic ATC sectorization in order to provide the best balance betweendemand and capacity to respond in real-time to changing situations in traffic flows, and toaccommodate in short-term the preferred routes of users;

• Define common electronic information and minimum databases required for decisionsupport and alerting systems for interoperable situational awareness between CentralizedATFM units;

• develop regional procedures for efficient and optimum use of aerodrome and runwaycapacity;

• develop a regional ATFM procedural manual to manage demand/capacity balancing;

• develop a regional strategy and framework for the implementation of a CentralizedATFM unit;

• develop operational agreements between Centralized ATFM units for interregionaldemand/capacity balancing; and,

• monitor implementation progress.
