4. Flight routes over Germany (1956 - today)
In the past, radio beacons on the ground (the large circles in the left-hand chart) determined the flight routes in lower and upper airspace. At best, they followed specified VOR radials. Today, area navigation allows almost any routing, not least due to satellite navigation.
This comparison of routings over West Germany about sixty years ago and today illustrates how much air traffic we can handle today because of technological progress and close civil-military cooperation in the flexible use of airspace.

5. ATFM is a mind-set like Quality Assurance
What is good ATFM
ATFM is a mind-set like Quality Assurance
You live Quality, it is not a technology
Communicate openly
All participants are equal
Apply “No Blame Culture”
Share and learn from mistakes made

6. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
ATM resources
Traffic Demand
Tactical and up to date traffic situation
Meteorological situation
Airspace and Airport status
ATFM tools
Institutional arrangement and regulation
Pre-requisites

7. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
ATM resources
Airspace (national or regional) and Airports are resources that are shared by all ATM stakeholders and require:
Transparancy
Collaborative decisions
Common processes
Equity

8. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
Traffic Demand
Data sharing and understanding is a major pre-requiste of ATFM. At least it needs:
Airline data (ATC-FPL; schedule)
ATC capacitiy (Sectors; Airports)
Partners constraints
Intentions
Information sharing

9. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
Tactical and up to date traffic situation
Ensuring accurate and timely data by common data exchange to increase accuracy of short to medium term predicition
ATFM flight information
ATFM capacity information
ATFM demand information

10. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
Meteorological situation
Weather is one of the most constraining influences for ATM. Increasing the situational awareness by highly precise:
Forecast WX
Dynamic WX

11. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
Airspace and Airport status
Availabiltiy of Airspace and Airport resources affects the efficient and safely flow of Air Traffic
Airport Capacity
Sector Capacitiy
Restriceted or reserved Airspace

12. What is ATFM Principles
What is needed for ATFM?
ATFM tools
Common situational awarenes and transparency through data and information sharing by displaying:
Weather situation
Traffic forecast
Communication possibilities
Airport and airspace information

13. What is ATFM Principles

14. Best Practices Key enablers for its success
Integrated Flight Plan System (IFPS)
Provides for:
Unified Data Set on Flight Plans
No errors
Update homogeneous and instant for all stakehoders
Collaborative Decision Making (CDM)
ATS, Airlines and Airports
Integration of Airports in the system
Integration of Airport-CDM (A-CDM)
Enables the introduction of dynamic slots vs. fixed slots
