Semi-Ad Hoc Events

Ad-Hoc Implementation

Summary of Contributions in Phase 1

• Validated cross-border ATFM procedure for airport constraints

• Demonstration of ATFM programs in live operations

• Increasing readiness level of stakeholders, with some able to support ad-hoc ATFM measures

• Incorporation of Multi-Nodal concept into ICAO Doc 9971 (3rd edition, in print)

• Representation in CANSO Best Practice Guide on ATFM Implementation (in development)



Forward Plan

• Level 3 ATFM Nodes moving toward Operationally-Ready ATFM Service

– Singapore: 1 Apr 2017

– Thailand: 1 Apr 2017

– Combined ATFM measure deployed as needed

• Strengthened Post-Ops Analysis Framework

– Increased involvement of Level 2 ATFM Nodes

– Analysis process closer to actual operations time

• Strengthened Tiered Participation Model

• Parallel development of Phase 2

Phase 1 - Forward to Implementation


Post-Ops Analysis Framework (1/5)

• Objective: To harmonize Post-Ops Analysis for GDP/CTOT programs

• Possibility: inclusion in Regional Framework document

• Focus: 2-sided Post-Ops Analysis

For effective ATFM Operation

Need for information

sharing between ATFM Systems

TSG established to achieve ATFM to

ATFM systems interconnection

TSG’s objective

Allow information sharing

Achieve certain degree of

synchronization between ATFM

SystemsHarmonizing data

format and infrastructure

(possibly FIXM & SWIM Technology)

Progress of TSG

- Identified Basic Ops Use Cases

- Identified Requires Data Fields

- Mapped Data Fields to Existing Standards, ie FIXM

Next Steps

- Testing of sharing of CTOTs information between two ATFM system

- Drafting of ICD
