Importance of CDM in an Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) environment – An Enabler

SCOPE Introduction The Practice of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) and CDM Benefits of CDM in an ATFM Environment Future of CDM & ATFM Conclusion

INTRODUCTION Collaborative decision-making (CDM) is defined as an explicit supporting process focused on deciding on a course of action in pursuit of articulated objectives between two or more community members Key to global aviation objective - maintaining a safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sustainable air navigation system at global, regional and local levels

THE PRACTICE OF CDM The Eleventh Air Navigation Conference - Montreal - 22 September to 3 October, 2003 Agreed on the endorsement of the Global ATM operational concept – 1st Publication in 2005 Central to this concept is the need to evolve towards a more collaborative environment

ICAO DEFINITION Air traffic management is the dynamic, integrated management of air traffic and airspace — safely, economically and efficiently — through the provision of facilities and seamless services in collaboration with all parties.

ATFM AND CDM CDM is an enabler in ATFM environment Allowing improved planning of Strategic, Pre-tactical and tactical Air Traffic Flow Management CDM may apply to all layers of decision-making from longer-term planning activities through to real-time operations

BENEFITS OF CDM IN AN ATFM ENVIRONMENT In order to realize the benefits of CDM in ATFM environment – all key players must be actively involved

BENEFITS OF CDM IN AN ATFM ENVIRONMENT(Cont.) Some of the benefits include: Improved ATFM through DCB (Demand Capacity Balance) to optimise airspace and runway throughput in coordinated airports Better On time performance Fuel savings & environmental sustainability

FUTURE OF CDM & ATFM CDM is a requirement – not an option More ATFMUs expected to be established globally. E.g., Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

CONCLUSION ATFM/CDM was considered among the Global priorities for air navigation during the First Meeting (ATM SG/1) (Cairo, Egypt, 9 - 12 June 2014) In a recent coordination meeting held in Luanda, the need for ATFM/CDM status monitoring in SADC was highlighted Its time Africa joined hands to address Africa’s future aviation challenges today!
