2 What is CTOP? Collaborative Trajectory Options Program A new type of Traffic Management Initiative (TMI) Designed to help manage en route traffic around a constraint in the National Airspace System (NAS) Designed to accommodate user preferences 2

3 What is CTOP? 3

4 NBAA & CTOP NBAA involvement with CTOP Assisted in CTOP development since the concept s inception Continued participation on FAA s TFM Deployment Team Why is NBAA involved in CTOP? To ensure the interests of the business aviation community are represented To ensure that business aviation operators to able to participate in CTOP programs CTOP is an important piece of NextGen, to which NBAA is strongly committed 4

5 FAA Traffic Flow Management CTOP Implementation Presented to: NBAA Date October 2013 Presented by: Mark Novak - AJM-222 Patrick Somersall AJR-113 5

6 What is TFMS? A set of capabilities used to: Predict demand Identify constraints Facilitate collaboration Model OPS plan Implement equitable solutions Maximize efficiency and minimize delay 6

13 What is CTOP? Collaborative Trajectory Options Program A collaborative approach to managing NAS constraints ATC sets and manages to the capacity of a constraint Flight operators will control how each flight responds to a constraint based on their business model New data exchange connection is required New policies and procedures are required 13

14 The Problem Airspace constraint caused by weather, equipment failure, unusually high demand, etc.. Today there are 2 primary National TMIs: Required Reroutes Airspace Flow Program (AFP) 14

15 How Things Work Today Flight Operators are limited to reacting Requesting exemption from required reroute Improving their EDCTs in an AFP Air traffic managers have no information on flight operator preferences. 15

16 How Things Work Today An en route constraint is identified (caused by weather, unusually high demand, etc One of two TMIs are used to manage traffic around the constraint

17 How Things Work Today One type of TMI is a Required Reroute Playbook routes, CDR s, Ad Hoc routes, etc Advisory issued by Air Traffic Control System Command Center 17

18 How Things Work Today The second type of TMI is an Airspace Flow Program (AFP) FCA001 18

19 Introducing CTOP CTOP is to manages with a mix of required routes and ground delays to deal with the congestion. CTOP provides the NAS users as much say as possible in the reroute. The FAA specifies the constraints. NAS users submit their route preferences. Given the constraint, the CTOP TMI assigns each flight trajectory from the Users TOS. May or may not have delay associated. 19

20 Introducing CTOP Using the new Collaborative Trajectory Options Program (CTOP): Provides the flight operator as much input as possible in reroutes or delay programs Utilizing use preferences Provides air traffic managers with Better information on flight operator preferences More flexibility in managing a constraint Applies route assignment and/or departure time assignment (EDCT) 20

23 TOS filing by Flight Operator TOSes must be in correct format TFMS will do a syntax check TOS options will conform to: Pref-routes NRP Required Routes (ATCSCC Advisory Routes) Flight Plan acceptable routes 23

24 CTOP FCAs - TOS TOS LAX to ATL FCA002 3 rd Choice 2 nd Choice FCA001 1 st Choice 4 th Choice FCA003 5 th Choice 24

25 CTOP Assignment After TOSs are sent, the program goes through the following phases: Propose and Respond FAA air traffic managers (at the FAA Command Center) propose a CTOP based on the submitted TOSs Collaborate and Refine Flight operators are given opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed CTOP FAA air traffic managers refine the plan 25 25

26 Route Assigned by CTOP CTOP Assigned Route LAX to ATL FCA002 2 nd Choice FCA001 FCA

27 How Can I tell if a CTOP is running The Command Center issues the CTOP The CTOP can be viewed at 27

28 What Options Do You Have? Flight operators can amend/update their TOSs Flight operators can file amended flight plans to avoid the CTOP 28

29 CTOP Applications Manage demand Enroute Manage arrival gate demand to airport or metroplex Departure Gate management Special Use Airspace High Volume Days (East Coast Holiday Volume) Ski Country (Colorado) 29

35 CTOP Changes & Benefits CTOP will introduce a completely new facet to flight planning TOS submissions Much more dynamic system Importance of participation Can mean the difference between departing or sitting on the ground 35

36 Must all flight operators participate? Yes, if a flight is captured in a CTOP FCA, it is a participant, as happens today with an AFP or GDP The flight operator is not required to submit a TOS A filed flight plan will be treated by the automation as a single trajectory TOS In this case, the flight will be limited to receiving ground delay appropriate for the trajectory on its filed flight plan, if it intersects a CTOP FCA 36

37 How Can Business Aviation User interface Operators Participate? Some flight plan service providers are working on customer-facing interfaces to allow for CTOP participation Business aviation operators should check with their providers to determine options CDM vs. non-cdm CDM providers have a direct connection to FAA s TFMS and allow for submission of TOSs Non-CDM providers do not have this connection and do not allow for submission of TOSs 37

38 Conclusions CTOP provides a new facet to flight planning and flight plan filing Operators must choose whether or not to participate by submitting TOSs Participating in CTOP can result in reduced delays for your flight operation Those operators who do participate will need assistance with generating and submitting TOSs User interfaces are being created by various service providers Operators should check with their service providers to determine their options 38
