4. Improves utilization of capacity“
CDM
Improves utilization of capacity
This process, referred to as Collaborative Decision Making, does not create more capacity, but rather allows for improved utilization of that capacity by collaborating with all of the stake holders on the best solution to a given problem. By allowing the airlines and airports to participate in the decision making process the air traffic control authorities can assure that more fair, equitable, and operationally efficient decisions are made.
CDM brings substantial benefits to all partners
by improving the quality of information on which decisions
are made. This will lead to enhanced operationally
efficiency and facilitate optimum use of available
capacity.

5. Increase efficiency without impacting safety
CDM
Increase efficiency without impacting safety
We have gained knowledge and been able to provide a better more predictable product by understanding the needs of our stakeholders.
This knowledge has enabled us to create solutions that allow system users greater flexibility to manage their own business and economic decisions.
The results are increased efficiency without derogating safety though education, increased communication, collaboration, and implementation with airlines and FAA field facilities.
Not only will the CDM efforts improve efficiency in the NAS, promoting better allocation of resources and improved passenger service, but most important are the potential enhancements to aviation safety, which is and will remain the first precept in airline operations.

6. CDM Optimizes Safety and Efficiency
Collaboration allows fix balancing to maintain safety and unconstrained arrival flow
Weather compresses flights to altitudes and routes not normally used. Busy sectors are identified and Stakeholders avoid these sectors
Enroute spacing delays departures and Stakeholders select alternate departure routes and altitudes
EDCT substituted to allow a higher value flight access to the NAS
Airport operator delays construction until “push” is over
Departure
En Route/Oceanic
Arrival
Airport (Ramp)
Takeoff
Airport (Ramp)
Landing
Safety is job #1! But is it all that is important? What is, after all, the basis of this endeavor? Business! The business of providing transportation by air. Without an acceptable level of efficiency, job #1 becomes a moot point. For this industry to be viable and sustainable, we must have both safety and efficiency.
TFM
Shared strategies lead to Re-filed routes, update cancellations, share data
Regional Airlines accept overflow RY to allow larger A/C main RY
Air Space Users
Collaboration, data sharing and transparency optimizes airspace utilization, optimize capacity and ensure safety

7. meeting their schedules.
“Better Business Decisions” Collaborative Decision Making will give operators more flexibility to maximize their own efficiency in
meeting their schedules.
People want tangible results..
To shape the future of air traffic management, operators, airports authorities and regulators must feel they have something substantial to gain.
The success of CDM will ultimately be determined by the tangible benefits it delivers. Commercial airlines certainly see the potential to improve decision-making processes, not only in regard to safety, but also for commercial gain. From the aircraft operator’s perspective, CDM gives the the opportunity to make better business decisions.

8. Stakeholders have greater
flexibility to manage their own business and economic decisions.
We have gained knowledge and been able to provide a better more predictable product by understanding the needs of our stakeholders.
This knowledge has enabled us to create solutions that allow system users greater flexibility to manage their own business and economic decisions.
No Two Stakeholders Function in Exactly the Same Manner

9. Commercial Aviation: An Economic Enabler
The economic costs of air traffic
delays to the economy
are vast and far-reaching.
Delayed flights affect not only the airline industry and the traveling public, but also businesses that depend on air traffic to generate revenue….
A healthy commercial aviation sector enables/fosters a thriving economy.

10. Economic Impact Aviation accounts for:
11 million aviation-related jobs
$1.2 trillion in economic activity
5.6 Percent Contribution to Gross Domestic Product
Adds $61 Billion to the US Trade Balance
In every region of the U.S., communities depend on civil aviation to stimulate economic growth and strengthen business by linking economic activity through aviation to the larger global economy

11. High Benefits – Low Investment
CDM brings high benefits
to a wide range of partners with
relatively low investment.
CDM is not complicated and certainly
need not be expensive. One of the main attractions is
that it brings high benefits to a wide range of partners
with relatively low investment.
CDM
process may be carried out by a human being, using
nothing more complicated than a telephone and
a pen and paper.
