Only drafting Operational Context Documents moving forward
*OCD – Ops Context Document
UCD – Use Case Document
Will begin addressing Request/Reply services in August
Schedule subject to change if service updates are released and existing Operational Context documents need to be updated
Coordinating with each service’s producer program to get documents uploaded to NSRR, will likely result in minor updates to documentation based on their comments
Next SWIFT scheduled for Aug 8, hosted by United Airlines, Denver, CO

5. TFMS Messages
TFMS includes multiple messages with large data sets, sent through the TFMData service
Flight Data
International Data
Terminal Data
TFMS Request Reply
Flow Information
TFMS Status
Separate Ops Context Documents were written for Flight and Flow
Plan to address Request Reply once all other Ops Context documents are completed

6. TFMS Status
TFMData sends/receives data from multiple SWIM services, which impact the information that TFMS produces
TFMData Status business function provides status of all of the data flows that directly or indirectly contribute to TFMS, this includes both TFMS and non-TFMS data flows:
NAS Flight Data
TBFM Flight Data
SWIM Terminal Data Distribution System (STDDS) Runway Visual Range (RVR), Surface Movement Events, and Tower Departure Events
Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) Special Activity Airspace (SAA) Schedule Events
International Data Providers Input and Output
Terminal Data Input and Output
TFMData Request and Replies
