What is ATFM? 4
What is ATFM (Cont d) ATFM is an enabler of air traffic management (ATM) efficiency and effectiveness. It contributes to the safety, efficiency, cost effectiveness, and environmental sustainability of an ATM system.
ATFM is demand/capacity balancing The objectives of ATFM Demand Capacity Enhance the safety Reduce ATC workload Optimize airspace capacity Maximize operational benefits and global efficiency
Keys to the successful implementation The CDM process is a key enabler of an ATFM strategy Achieving a robust coordination among aviation stakeholders (CDM) All the stakeholders work together to improve the overall performance of the ATM system Such coordination will take place within a FIR, between FIRs, and ultimately, between regions
Keys to the successful implementation ATFM and its applications should NOT be restricted to one State or FIR Because of their far-reaching effects on the flow of traffic elsewhere PANS-ATM, Doc 4444 states that ATFM should be implemented on the basis of a regional air navigation agreement or, when appropriate, as a multilateral agreement Airspace is a common resource for all users and ensure equity and transparency

Doc 9971 (Cont d) Doc 9971 shows basic ideas of ATFM What is the starting point regarding the development of an ATFM service? What are the foundational objectives and principles of ATFM? What are the benefits of implementing an ATFM service? How does an ATFM service operate? How is an ATFM service structured and organized? What are the roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders in the ATFM service? How is the capacity of an airspace sector and airport determined? How are ATFM processed applied in order to balance the demand and capacity within its area of responsibility? How is an ATFM service implemented? What are ATFM Measures and how are they established and applied? What data and information are exchanged in an ATFM service? What terminology/phraseology is used in ATFM? What resources are available to States regarding the various aspects of ATFM?

Background The Strategy was endorsed by MSG/4 meeting (Cairo, 24-26 November 2014), based on the outcome of the relevant MIDANPIRG subsidiary bodies and inputs received from stakeholders. The Strategy was further reviewed and updated by MIDANPIRG/15 meeting, Bahrain, 8-11 June 2015, and endorsed as ICAO MID Doc 002, which is available on the MID Office website.
The MID Region air navigation objectives are set in line with the global air navigation objectives and address specific air navigation operational improvements identified within the framework of the Middle East Regional Planning and Implementation Group (MIDANPIRG) to: realize sound and economically-viable civil aviation system in the MID Region that continuously increases in capacity and improves in efficiency with enhanced safety while minimizing the adverse environmental effects of civil aviation activities; and maintain regional harmonization. Strategy Main Objectives
Main Objectives of the Strategy (Cont d) The Strategy presents a 15 year rolling approach for the implementation of the ASBU Modules in the MID Region in accordance with GANP (2013-2028) as follows: Near-term (2013-2017): ASBU Block 0 Mid-term (2018-2022): ASBU Block 1 Long-term (2023-2028): ASBU Block 2 and 3
MID ASBU Block 0 Modules Prioritization The MID Region Air Navigation Strategy includes 11 ASBU Block 0 Modules identified as priority for implementation in the MID Region.
MID ASBU Block 0 Modules Prioritization (Cont d) Performance Improvement Areas (PIA) PIA 1: Airport Operations PIA 2: Globally Interoperable Systems and Data - Through Globally Interoperable System Wide Information Management PIA 3: Optimum Capacity and Flexible Flights Through Global Collaborative ATM PIA 4: Efficient Flight Path Through Trajectorybased Operations Module Priority Module Name APTA 1 Optimization of Approach Procedures including vertical guidance WAKE 2 Increased Runway Throughput through Optimized Wake Turbulence Separation RSEQ 2 Improved Traffic Flow through Sequencing (AMAN/DMAN) SURF 1 Safety and Efficiency of Surface Operations (A-SMGCS Level 1-2) ACDM 1 Improved Airport Operations through Airport-CDM FICE 1 Increased Interoperability, Efficiency and Capacity through Ground-Ground Integration DATM 1 Service Improvement through Digital Aeronautical Information Management AMET 1 Meteorological information supporting enhanced operational efficiency and safety FRTO 1 Improved Operations through Enhanced En-Route Trajectories NOPS 1 Improved Flow Performance through Planning based on a Network-Wide view ASUR 2 Initial Capability for Ground Surveillance ASEP 2 Air Traffic Situational Awareness (ATSA) OPFL 2 Improved access to Optimum Flight Levels through Climb/Descent Procedures using ADS-B ACAS 1 ACAS Improvements SNET 2 Increased Effectiveness of Ground-based Safety Nets CDO 1 Improved Flexibility and Efficiency in Descent Profiles (CDO) TBO 2 Improved Safety and Efficiency through the initial application of Data Link En-Route CCO 1 Improved Flexibility and Efficiency Departure Profiles - Continuous Climb Operations (CCO)
