FLIGHT ACTIVATION MONITORING (FAM)

FUNCTIONS

● ● ● ● ●

Monitors flights which should have departed.

Identifies flights which should have departed and for which no message is received to confirm their departure.

“Updates/Shifts” these flights until a message is received.

If no update is received after 30 min, the flight is suspended.

Informs the AOs of a suspension enabling them to react.

FLIGHT ACTIVATION MONITORING (FAM)

OBJECTIVES

● ● ● ●

Benefit counts.

from ETFMS data to improve Traffic Load Allow a more efficient use of the available capacity.

Provide an incentive for Aircraft Operators to update their EOBTs.

Reduce the impact of ghost flight plans and of late departures.

32 © EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU)

FLIGHT ACTIVATION MONITORING (FAM)

APPLICATION

● ● ●

Only for flights in areas from which ETFMS receives CPRs for all flights.

Operational for first states since 06/05/2003.

Target: All states from which CPRs are received.

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 33

FLIGHT ACTIVATION MONITORING (FAM)

EXPECTED RESULT

FAM will release slots which are unduly occupied by flights not departed, thus making these slots available for other aircraft which are ready to depart.

34 © EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU)

● ● ● ●

APPLICATION OF FAM (1)

FAM is applied on all flights, whether regulated or not, departing from and/or landing at areas where CPRs are received by the NMOC (CFMU) and FAM is activated.

Flights departing from and landing in non FAM enabled areas are NOT affected by FAM, irrespective if they fly through CPR covered or non CPR-covered FAM enabled areas en-route.

CPR coverage is an essential requisite for FAM to be applied. When CPR coverage in a particular area is not at the level considered as “safe”, then FAM is deactivated for his area.

Where FAM is applicable, the timing starts at the entry of the first CPR-covered FAM enabled area (AUA).

 

Initially based upon the planned data.

Updated with re-allocation of slots, not with the forced flights.

Current Demand (load)

   

Initially based upon the regulated data.

Updated with the actual position of the flight.

Updated with the route and level updates received via AFP and FSA.

Updated with route and level predictions.

OUTPUT

SUMMARY

Improved (short-term) load prediction.

Improved traffic smoothing.

Reduced delays.

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 39

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON COUNTS AND FLIGHT LISTS

Having flight profile forecasts increases the accuracy of the traffic prediction.

The counts on any sector/aerodrome take into consideration the profile recalculation.

Flight lists and summaries are updated accordingly.

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 40

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON THE SLOT ALLOCATIONS

Same scenario for flights changing route : vacant slots are re-used, overload slots are compensated if possible.

As statistics show that on average flights are late, it improves the delay situation.

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 41

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON TRAFFIC MONITORING

Both departed and not-yet-departed traffic are updated.

Both regulated and non-regulated traffic are updated.

 

Traffic forecast is improved.

Potential overloads will be detected earlier.

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 42

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON ATFCM IN GENERAL

Improving the use of available capacity reduces delay (dynamic slot lists).

Increased accuracy of the information provided to users.

Improve Traffic smoothing (less “bunching”).

Improved monitoring of slot compliance.

Consequence: increased confidence in ATFCM is expected to lead to increases in capacity provided to ATFCM.

43 © EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU)

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON NMOC (CFMU) OPERATIONS

Greater accuracy of the traffic load, permitting less “unnecessary” of regulations actions being taken (no longer creation “just in case” ).

Improved ability to manage “unusual” situations in real time (given the more accurate data on actual traffic demand).

© EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU) 44

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON FLOW MANAGEMENT POSITIONS (FMPs)

● ●

Because of the improved accuracy of the data in ETFMS, FMPs will have earlier warning of demand which, for whatever reason, is exceeding the declared capacity.

This earlier warning will permit the FMP to consider and perhaps implement some further remedial actions to reduce the impact :

 

Level capping.

Sector organisation.

 

Warnings to controllers.

Rerouteings.

45 © EUROCONTROL 2013 – Network Manager Operations Centre (NMOC/CFMU)

OUTPUT

IMPACT ON AIRCRAFT OPERATORS (AOs)

● ● ●

Less delay.

Greater accuracy in the flight plan data on the CIA, in particular for the arrival time.

Improved ability to maintain in good time, accurate EOBTs for the return and subsequent legs for a flight/aircraft.

CONCLUSION

● ● ● ● ●

ETFMS is an important step ATFCM process.

in the improvement of the A critical step because numerous data will be used for the first time and systems will have to be adapted for their interpretation.

Areas for special attention:

 

Quality of received data.

Quality of prediction and extrapolation algorithms.

It will require fine-tuning for all areas and processes.

ETFMS will allow ATC to data.
