o AAts - Aircraft Access to SWIM (System Wide information Management) . o AAtS Capabilities can increase the number of participants in TMIs (Traffic Management Initiatives) . o Additional route options will allow traffic managers mor e flexibility to assign less delay and potentially reduce workload o Flight crews without AOC support are advised that their flight is subject to TMIs . o AAtS allows non scheduled flight operators to express their route/time preferences via User Route Pref erence submission, optimizing their flight and the NAS . o Greater operator participation in TMIs reduces delays for all aircraft that must remain on routings through the constrained airspace . o Traffic Management and controllers will experience reduced wor kload as traffic is dispersed . o Enhancements to TMU's Traffic Flight Management Systems § With this shortfall in mind, it is proposed that CATMT WP5 provide traffic managers with a Consolidated System View of the NAS to include the following enhancements and new capabilities: § Integ rate User Interface Components. This will consolidate and integrate existing traffic management functions and displays to provide a more unified set of interfaces and reduce the need for traffic managers to access multiple data sources. § Single Source for Issued TMIs. This will provide a single display source for all issued TMIs, including those currently entered in the Traffic Situation Display (TSD), Flight Schedule Monitor (FSM), National Traffic Management Log (NTML), and T ime - based Flow Management (TBFM). Displays are expected to be both graphical and list - oriented, and will include the ability to analyze the interaction of TMIs; for example, by viewing all the TMIs that are impacting selected flights. § High - level Alerts M anager. To ensure that the data integration achieved with the first two capabilities above is presented in a comprehensible and useful way, this capability will provide high - level and user - customizable alerting capabilities to help focus a traffic manager' s attention on significant problems areas. § These Consolidated System View capabilities will provide the foundation for a number of additional enhancements to existing monitoring and alerting capabilities described in this CONOPS: § External Event Alerts will provide a user - customizable mechanism to notify traffic managers about events of interest to them, such as runway reconfigurations. § TMI Impact Monitoring and Alerting will identify issued TMIs that are not performing as intended, based on user - specified metrics and alert thresholds. § Delay - based Alerts will assess system performance and
