Surface CDM SARDA Spot and runway advisor PDRC precision departure release capability All need AEFS electronic flight strips to work efficiently and in harmony. Talked again about future taskings , including iP ad communications in TMU, AOC, Towers , etc . o FCT – Flow Constraint Team Presentation of 4DT (4 - dimensional trajectories) Cog walk ( cognitive walk through) En route to terminal transition Mr. Foley reminded the presenter of some of these products that eve ry facility has th eir own mechanisms, ever y sector/area within the facility has its own MO , and every controller has his or her own controlling personality , therefore human factors should always be a consideration during design phase and post analysis. Ho w to improve data communication flow between AT and TMU. Might be as simple as TSD at the D - sides, to bridge TMU tools to air traffic functions. Interval management - almost RTA - like except keeping interval (spacing/se paration) between aircraft. Could be a nd designed to be used with TBFM. Dynamic RNP would allow the controller to draw or input a wanted RNP to avoid a constraint for example dynamically. In its infancy and will most likel y be the next tasking for FCT. Similarities between SFMA though. • Spring session subgroup briefings - Wednesday April 20 o CAT CDM automation team - data quality with the surface team. Flight initiation lead time metric - how far in advance industry sends info about prior to planned departur e time. Off block time accuracy - acc uracy of EOBT Timely provision of actual off block time AOBT Data comprehensiveness TMA release times (TMA - RT) will be in the TFMS in May so industry can see release times on TSD - C o SCT - Surface Should airport authority be CDM members? Yes . TBFM schedulin g early based highly predictable EOBT ATD - 2 tied in with surface and how to more efficiently get ai rcraft in the overhead stream. o WET - Weather Operational Bridging (OB) - bridging different weather products to design a more high - resolute forecast. CAWS - Collaborative aviation weather o FCT - Flow Constraint Space operations and unman ned aircraft systems NAS study. AAtS - Aircraft access to SWIM Strategic flow management application (SFMA)
