March 1995 : Start of Operations of TACT based upon FPL data only.

April 1995 : Reception of first airborne update (FSA) message from France.

March 2001 : ETFMS PHASE 1a operational, based upon FSA data only.

7 Feb 2002: ETFMS PHASE 1a operational, based upon FSA data and surveillance data from UK, France and MUAC.

6 May 2003 : Flight Activation Monitoring (FAM) Operational for Ireland, Oslo FIR and Belgium.

Today : Reception of FSAs from 32 countries (57 ACCs), CPRs from 28 countries (49 ACCs) and oceanic clearances

from 3 oceanic centres.


ETFMS - OBJECTIVESETFMS - OBJECTIVESETFMS - OBJECTIVESETFMS - OBJECTIVES

● To increase the accuracy of ATFCM thus reducing any differences in data between ATFCM, ATC and airports.

● To improve short-term traffic demand forecasts.

● To reduce over-delivery.

● To enable more accurate slot allocations thus improved utilisation of the available capacity.

● To improve reaction to short-terms events.

Many Airborne Updates

● FSA messages (05 November 2012): 99,900 FSA messages received .

for 25,800 flights, 96% of flights updated.

average of 3.9 FSAs per flight.

● CPRs (05 November 2012): 2.15 million received

for 25,800 flights, 88% of flights updated.

average of 83 CPRs per flight.

More accurate flight profiles in ETFMS.

● ATFM simulations on 4 different days of Jan/Feb 2005, comparing ATFM situation with and without airborne data.

● Reduction in over-deliveries from 7% to 4.9%.

● Reduction in number of delayed flights by 7%.

● Reduction in ATFM delay by approximately 17%.

2.5 million min of ATFM delay reduction.

Delay reduction due to capacity increase, not measured


EFFECT ON OPERATIONAL PROCEDURESEFFECT ON OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES

● Better overall view on Traffic Situation for NMOC (CFMU) for Tactical Flow Management

● Look at network effect during Tactical Operations

● Can only be done with reliable/accurate flight data Optimise ATFM Daily Plan (delete / modify regulations) by NMOC

(CFMU)

Increased confidence in counts by ATC

● Management of Critical Events Strikes, runway closure, ...

Search for special flights

DEPARTURE MONITORINGDEPARTURE MONITORING

Flight Activation Monitoring (FAM) increases accuracy.

In August 2007: ● 67% flights are monitored.

● 18.5% are updated.

● 533 flights suspended.

● 286 updated by AO after suspension

● 108 never updated Ghosts.

● (139 airborne when suspended)
