The flow centric approach : an innovative SESAR concept Presented at EIWAC 2017 by Patrick SOUCHU SESAR program director DSNA France
Agenda What is the concept of flow centric operations? Collaborative Advanced Planning ATFM-ATC integration Enhancing arrival management Flow centric operations in SESAR 2020 Towards deployment 2
What is the concept of Flow Centric Operations? «To increase performance, ATM modernisation should look at the flight as a whole, within a flow and network context, rather than segmented portions of its trajectory as it is the case today. With this in mind, the vision will be realised across the entire ATM system, offering improvements at every stage of the flight.» European ATM Master Plan 3
CONCEPT OF FLOW CENTRIC OPERATIONS KEY FEATURES Airspace Users operations Enabled by SWIM dynamic Demand Capacity Balancing Collaborative Planning and Decision Enhanced Arrival Management ATFM-ATC integration
Collaborative Advanced Planning An innovative collaborative process to find the best flow management measure with aircraft operators to alleviate traffic hotspots This solution will reduce traffic flow regulations to a minimum CAP initiates a direct relation between the operational units of the ANSP, the Network Manager (EUROCONTROL) and the involved airlines.

Enhancing arrival management A solution for congested airport at peak hours to Improve flights predictability and optimize ATC capacity based on advanced concepts Arrival flexilbility (AFLEX) : a collaborative process between ATC, Network Manager and Airspace Users Extended AMAN Move CTOT to Target Time (TT) Improved AMAN local tool (iaman) 8
The SESAR istream project SESAR Demonstration in Paris and Zurich areas ATFCM local tool (iaman) can propose arrival Target Time taking into account local constraints (Runway, E-TMA) Each aircraft operator could exchange Target Times between its arrival flights for more flexibility in operations ( AFLEX ) Airspace Users are informed about arrival constraints and arrival TT, in addition to CTOT This information improves Target Time adherence and predictibility Optimisation of CDG arrivals (peak hours 8h-9h30 Local Time) Optimisation of arrival sequence in Zurich Video 9
