Aircraft-based Concept Developments |
|
|
The project investigated a new approach to the ATFM process, aiming at enhancing the efficiency of the slot allocation process and making the best use of available capacity in order to reduce the actual delays assigned to the aircraft. The main idea is to make the CFMU process evolve from a departures-based ATFM process, as it is today, to an aircraft-based ATFM process. In this context, the CFMU would focus on controlling and managing individual aircraft movements instead of individual flights. If the ATFM process were based on aircraft management rather than on flight plans, it would, for example, be possible to better anticipate re-allocation of capacity.
