Background
The White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security has called for "a strong government-industry partnership . . .needed to develop and integrate the research, standards, regulations, procedures and infrastructure needed to support the aviation system of the future." (Final report to President Clinton, February 1997).

What is CDM?
CDM is a philosophy of business, based upon information exchange and collaboration between government and industry, used to create a safer and more efficient (NAS).

Why CDM?
• Main purpose: safety • The potential benefits of this type of collaborative
effort are significant both economically and functionally.

How CDM works?
the CDM Implementation Group oversees three sub-groups to conceptualize and implement specific aspects of CDM• Ground Delay Program Enhancements (GDPE)• NAS Status Information• Collaborative Routing

How CDM works?
All CDM incentives rely on information exchange and collaboration between government and industry• AOCnet• Airline Operational Control Centers (AOCs) • Air Traffic Control System Command Center
(ATCSCC) • Volpe National Transportation Center

GROUND DELAY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS (GDPE)Most mature, scheduled to go into prototype operations at San
Francisco and Newark airports this winterApplications
• to determine what changes are needed in policies and procedures, as well as modifications and enhancements to the actual infrastructure (i.e. FSM, ETMS database, AOCnet).
• Flight Schedule Monitor (FSM), enables NAS users to view operational constraints and information from the AOCnet
• Both AOCs and ATCSCC can perform "what if" analyses • The safety benefits are still being realized
– To allow controllers more time to view varied NAS scenarios and choose the safest method to avoid constraints. For example, airlines are using FSM to predict flight fuel needs

NAS STATUS INFORMATION
• To provide critical safety related information that is currently not available to all users or is currently not disseminated in a timely manner.
• Through the AOCnet, information can be rapidly distributed to all necessary parties, so that ATC and flight operators and crews may make necessary changes to flight operations.

COLLABORATIVE ROUTING
To make FAA explore alternative technologies and techniques which will allow FAA flow managers and aircraft operators to engage in a more effective collaborative decision making process than verbal communications • (1) create a system allowing ATC and the users to
negotiate routes which avoid congestion and delays in the NAS
• (2) allow users and ATC to negotiate routes that avoid adverse weather while minimizing negative impacts on the NAS

Conclusion
The CDM concepts are destined to become the first initiatives of the Free Flight Action Plan to come to fruition and they establish a new philosophy in air traffic management through a cooperative decision making approach. Never before have such positive and mutually beneficial accomplishments been witnessed than what has occurred because of the collaboration between FAA and airlines in recent years.
