The Panoply of Systems Engaged in Flow Management Tool Name Brief Description Comment Concept focused on Airport efficiency Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) Arrival Manager (AMAN) Departure Manager () Surface Manager (SMAN) Air Traffic Flow Management () Platform (e.g. Metron Harmony) Tower Cab Aumation TMA ATM Platform ACC ATM Platform Delivers a smood optimized traffic flow TMA efficient flow over congested fixes Concept has milesnes that allow networking of airports. SMAN (see below) functionality a part of concept. Nominally an ACC-based with TMA displays. Currently not interfaced solution. Coordinates multiple airports delivering a common fix nominally ACC- or TMA-based. Manages aerodrome surface Controls startup/push back on an airport surface queues nominally a wer cab. Manages airspace aerodrome Functions in pre-tactical tactical loading provides fuel efficient timeframes network management center based. absorption of necessary delay Related Systems Integrates displays controls Tower cab centric wer cab interface for efficient wer cab functioning GDP/AFP/SMAN/ function. terminal area tactical control aumation ACC tactical control aumation TMA facility-based generally no flow management functions. ACC-based Can provide CHI for AMAN advisories. Page 2
Integration of Flow Management Tools Maximizing use of airspace aerodrome resources providing for fuel efficient delay absorption requires integration of se capabilities. The platform is right location for integration functions: operates over full spectrum of operational time phases. Dynamic Dem/Capacity Balancing operates with best available information. As day hour of operation approaches, accuracy of flight data improves. Tactical Decision Support Tools (e.g., A-CDM,, AMAN) operate in smaller time horizon on day of operation with only localized information.
