Service Description
SFDPS is the SWIM program developed to provide flight information services to a wide variety of consumers in a manner that complies with SWIM standards and requirements.
Service Interface
Publish/Subscribe via JMS
Message Sets
Message Name
Description
Flight Plan Information
The Flight Plan Message is sent to transfer active and proposed flight plan data. It is generally sent when an ERAM at an ARTCC first creates a new flight record for a flight. Multiple ARTCCs send copies of the same flight plan. A single ARTCC may have multiple flight plans for one flight, although only one should ever be active. This message includes FH ERAM message
Flight Amendment Information
The Flight Amendment Message is used to resend all data/fields in the Flight Plan Information message when an amendment has been made to one or more of those fields. This message includes the AH ERAM message
Converted Route Information
The Converted Route Message is sent to provide the fixes along the route and calculated time of arrival at each fix, as computed by ERAM. It should be re-sent whenever an FH, AH, DH, or HU is sent. This message includes the HX ERAM message.
Cancellation Information
The Cancellation Message is sent when a flight plan record is canceled within a particular ARTCC’s ERAM. This means that no more data is sent from that center for that flight plan. This message includes the CL ERAM message.
Departure Information
Departure Message – Provides departure related data for a flight plan. If the flight plan was proposed, the DH indicates the flight is now active. This message includes the DH ERAM message.

13. SFDPS – Flight Message Sets cont.
Message Name
Description
Aircraft Identification Amendment Information
The Aircraft Identifier Amendment Message is sent to indicate a change to the flight identification field (flightId_02a) or assignment of computer identification (computerId_02d) for a flight. This message includes the IH ERAM message.
Hold Information
The Hold Message indicates a hold of a definite duration, an indefinite hold, or hold release for a specified flight. This message includes the HH ERAM message.
Progress Report Information
The Progress Report Message is sent from ERAM to update the position for an active flight, or to release it from a prior hold status. This message includes the PH ERAM message.
Flight Arrival Information
The Flight Arrival Message provides arrival data from ERAM for any arriving flight. This message includes the HV ERAM message.
Flight Plan Update Information
The Flight Plan Update Message is sent to provide the latest flight plan data on an active flight when a new ARTCC assumes control of that flight. This message includes the HU ERAM message.
Expected Departure Time Information1
The Expected Departure Time Message provides Estimated Departure Clearance Time (EDCT) information; that is, the assigned departure time for a proposed flight plan inbound to a controlled airport with a ground delay in effect, and is used to cancel a previously issued EDCT. The original source of this data is TFMS. This message includes the ET ERAM message.
Position Update Information
The Position Update Message is sent to update the coordination time on an active flight when the present position fix time is updated. This message includes the HP ERAM message.
Tentative Flight Plan Information
The Tentative Flight Plan Message is sent when a controller creates a temporary, partial set of flight plan data and associates it with a flight. It includes the source, flight identification, and may include optional Unique Flight Plan Identifier (UFPI) [ERAM-Globally Unique Flight Identifier (GUFI)], aircraft data, type of aircraft, airborne equipment qualifier, beacon code, speed, assigned altitude, reported altitude, and interim altitude.
Tentative Aircraft Identification Amendment Information
The Tentative Aircraft Identifier Amendment Message is sent from ERAM to indicate a change to the flight identification field (flightId_02a) of a tentative flight plan. This message includes the NI ERAM message.
Tentative Flight Plan Removal
The Tentative Flight Plan Removal Message is sent to indicate the removal of a tentative flight plan; may indicate that the tentative flight plan has been merged with a normal flight plan. This message includes the NL ERAM message.
Tentative Flight Plan Amendment Information
The Tentative Flight Amendment Message is used to update tentative flight plan data. This message includes the NU ERAM message.

14. SFDPS – Flight Message Sets cont.
Message Name
Description
Batch Track Information
The Batch Track Message includes multiple individual Track Messages. The single Track message provides track data/target information, such as aircraft track/target position, altitude, and speed. It is normally sent every 12 seconds for an active flight. This message includes the TH ERAM message.
Drop Track Information
The Drop Track Message indicates that an ARTCC has discontinued tracking of a particular flight. This message includes the RH ERAM message.
Interim Altitude Information
The Interim Altitude Message provides an Air Traffic Management (ATM) Intermediate Point of Presence (IPOP) with interim altitude data for a flight. This message includes the LH ERAM message.
Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) Flow Control Track/Full Data Block Information
The ARTS TZ Flow Control Track/Full Data Block Message provides a position update from an ARTS; this is a data pass-through. This message includes the HZ ERAM message.
Beacon Code Reassignment
The Beacon Code Reassignment Message provides an updated beacon code for a flight plan when ERAM determines that an automatic beacon code reassignment occurred because the requested beacon code was already in use by another aircraft.
Beacon Code Restricted
The Beacon Code Restricted Message provides an updated beacon code for a flight when ERAM determines that a beacon code reassignment occurred because the requested beacon code is adapted as restricted.
FDB Fourth Line Information
The FDB Fourth Line Message is used to send the displayable, user-specified FDB fourth line data stored in ERAM; this can be heading, speed, or free-form text. This message includes the HF ERAM message.
Point Out Information
The Point Out Message provides inter-facility and intra-facility point out information when these actions occur. This message includes the HT ERAM message.
Inbound Point Out Information
The Inbound Point Out Message is sent by ERAM upon receipt of an inter-facility point out message from another center. This message includes the PT ERAM message.
Handoff Status
The Handoff Status Message is sent when a handoff is initiated, accepted, control is taken away (assert control), or retracted, or when the failure of handoff is detected.
Flight Plan Reconstitution Message
The Flight Plan Reconstitution Message is sent when a client first connects to a HADDS or when it reconnects to a HADDS after communication between the client and HADDS is disrupted.
