3 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: Improved adjustment of CTOT to the TOT of the flight Improved visibility on progress of flight at out station Enabler for improving the flight and fleet planning ● Network benefits (including AOs, ATC,…): Information sharing improves predictability More accurate flight profiles in ETFMS provide more accurate data to the network: ● More accurate Traffic Predictions ● More efficient use of Capacity ● More Capacity ● Reduced Delays Benefits – For AOs in Particular

4 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● To update flight profiles and traffic predictions ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: reduced risk of FAM suspension, prevent issue of CTOT that cannot be met due e.g. a long taxi-times ● Network benefits: More accurate taxi-time & SID result in more accurate flight profiles in ETFMS provides more accurate data to the network: ● More accurate traffic predictions ● More capacity ● Reduced delays Prevention of CTOT that cannot be met  more accurate CTOT adherence Benefits – Taxi-Time, SID – All DPI types

5 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) Increase Traffic Predictability Prediction Error almost zero at Take-Off Occupancy Traffic Counts Prediction Error Take-Off Better Prediction at Off-Block Earlier Improved Prediction due to Airport CDM

6 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Raise warnings about inconsistencies between data at airport and in flight plan ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: Receive an automatic reminder that flight plan data is inconsistent with data at the airport AO is requested to solve the inconsistency by e.g. updating the flight plan More accurate flight plans (for en-route ATC, ADES,…) ● Network benefits: More accurate flight profiles in ETFMS provides more accurate data to the network. Benefits – ARCTYP & REGistration - All DPI types

7 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Confirms airport slot ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: ETFMS slot allocation improved: first-planned-first-served ● Network benefits: Confirms the existence of an Airport Slot, reduces number of ghost flights, increases flight plan completeness Benefits – Early-DPI

8 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Provides the Target Take-Off Time based upon estimate from AO and handler, i.e. EOBT updated with TOBT ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: Allows for take-off/CTOT before EOBT Prevent issue of a CTOT that cannot be met by the flight ● Network benefits: More accurate traffic predictions through the provision of the TTOT based upon the TOBT Benefits – Target-DPI-target

9 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Provides the Take-Off-Time based upon the ATC pre-departure sequence, i.e. based upon TSAT ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: Prevent issue of CTOT that cannot be met especially in situations where demand is higher than airport/ATC capacity Enabler to improve mgt during e.g. de-icing situations ● Network benefits: More accurate traffic predictions through the provision of the TSAT (+taxi-time), especially for non-regulated traffic The T-DPI-s is the only means to provide delays due to e.g. reduction of departure capacity to the network. Benefits – Target-DPI-sequenced

10 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● Provides the actual off-block event and the Take-Off-Time based upon AOBT ● Benefit for AOs, ATC,…: Freeze CTOT Reduce risk on suspension due to Flight Activation Monitoring (FAM) freeze flight plan updates ● Network benefits: More accurate traffic predictions through the provision of the AOBT (+taxi-time) Benefits – ATC-DPI

11 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) ● To cancel previously sent DPI information. ● Network benefits: To keep the network up-to-date in case of (last minute) disturbances Benefits – Cancel-DPI

13 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) Improved TOT predictions which lead to: ● For the network/NMOC: Improved traffic count predictions Better use of available capacity Improved adjustment of CTOT to requested TOT ● For AOs: Better suitable CTOT Improved Estimated Landing Time prediction ● For Airports: More accurate estimated landing times for inbound flights ● For ANSPs: More accurate traffic count predictions via NMOC data distribution services ©2011 The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL)

14 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) A-CDM: Improved TOT Prediction 60min before take-off TOT accuracy=9.7 TOT accuracy=8.4 Improvement: 13% Improvement: 23% 30min before take-off TOT accuracy 4min

15 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) Improved TOT Prediction – adverse conditions 90 min before take-off TOT accuracy=33.3 TOT accuracy=23.6 Improvement: 29% Improvement: 54% 30min before take-off TOT accuracy 5min EGLL 10/07/2012

16 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) Improved CTOT if local TTOT is provided VTT ● Flight plan based ETOT (non-CDM) ● Slot violation ● If TTOT is provided by A-CDM to NMOC/ETFMS… ● TTOT = Earliest possible CTOT  More suitable CTOT TOBT/ TSAT 09:48 TTOT 10:02 CTOT Locally at the airport In NMOC exot EOBT 10:00 ETOT 10:10 CTOT 10:20

17 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) Other Benefits of A-CDM… ● For the Network: Better use of available capacity Improved adherence to ATFM Slots ● For AOs: Better adjustment of CTOT to local constraints Improved visibility of flights at the outstation Assistance to updating flight plans Enabler for improved flight and fleet planning Reduced risk of suspension by Flight Activation Monitoring Allow to delay and advance the TOBT No more DLA required if flight is delayed by ATC (ground) CTOT freezing from Actual Off-block onwards Improved management of adverse conditions ©2011 The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL)

18 © EUROCONTROL 2016 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC) For the network: ● Accurate TOT is available 5-15min earlier ● ETFMS has more accurate traffic predictions For Airport & ATC & AO: ● CTOT is frozen ● IFPS ensures that DLA messages from AOs are no longer accepted after the AOBT-event (so after reception of the A-DPI) ● flights under de-icing may benefit from an extended CTOT slot tolerance window ● A-DPI info is displayed on CHMI and improves situational awareness for AOs. ● ANSPs & AOs receive more accurate EFDs ● Airports of destination receive more accurate landing times from NMOC (FUM) ● (there are probably more).
