2. OBJECTIVES
Título de la presentación Arial Negrita
| |27/06/201812
OBJECTIVES
❑ To Support Airport Operations Management by
developing a SIMPLIFLIED A-CDM for medium/small
airports.
❑ To allow the integration of these airports into the ATM
network
| |
Levels of integration
• Currently there are 3 levels of integration of airports with the ATM Network :

Problem statement :
“Can we create an additional category where full set of DPI messages is
transmitted, meeting NM accuracy criteria but done in a quasi-automated
manner” ?

A continuation from SESAR1

Concept initially tested in 2016 in ALC.
• “Results highly encouraging but more work needed”.
For SESAR2020 / PJ04.01
• Inclusion of concept as operational improvement step in the integrated
roadmap
• Robustness of platform significantly enhanced and User interface
improved
• Simplified pre-departure sequence
• All elements of milestone calculations re-visited conceptually and in
terms of inclusion in the platform
• Longer testing period
• Longer simulation period
• ‘Twin’ approach for both coordinated and non-coordinated airports

3. CONCEPT DEFINITION &
DIFFERENCES WITH CURRENT A-
CDM
Título de la presentación Arial Negrita
| |27/06/201817
WHAT’S A-CDM?
A-CDM is about collaboration between the different partners/stakeholders with a role
in the whole Turnaround Process of an aircraft at the airport. This involves ATC,
airlines, handling agents and the Airport Operator.
Focusing on:•Monitoring the whole process, the arrival to the airport, the turnaround process and
the departure.
•Sharing the most accurate information, at the right moment, with the right people to
act accordingly.
•Improve the data exchange between the airport and the ATFM Network (NMOC).

A-CDM MILESTONES
| |27/06/201819
MAIN A-CDM CONCEPTS
• TOBT: It is the target time at which the company or the handling agent will have the
aircraft with doors closed, airbridge disconnected and ready for push-back.
• TSAT: It is the target time assigned by the local ATC at which the aircraft will be
authorized for start-up. This target time will have into considerartion the TOBT
ATFCM measures.
| |27/06/201820
A-CDM CONCEPTS
CONFIRMATION/UPDATE OF TOBT
• The company or the Handling Agent as a delegated task, will have to confirm the
TOBT 30 minutes before the departure.
• The company or the Handling Agente will have to update the TOBT when the
target time will be out of the +/- 5 minutes tolerance window
• The EOBT of the Flight Plan must be updated within a tolerance of TOBT +/- 10
minutes.
• In case the TOBT does not meet the those criterias, will be invalidated and the
aircraft will be removed from the sequence (invalid TSAT) and a new
TOBT/EOBT will be needed.

❑ THREE MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:1. Increased Accuracy & Anticipation in Traffic Prediction moving from:
➢ Use of Estimated Times based on Flight Plan data (EOBT & ETOT) to
Target Times, based on Aircraft Status Information (TOBT & TTOT)

❑ THREE MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:
2. Optimise A-CDM Algorithm for Middle size Airports
➢ Move from Predictions based on “Time to” (Time driven) to Predictions based
on Aircraft Situation (Status: Event driven)
➢ Reduce number of milestones, eliminating those which add little value

❑ THREE MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:
3. Increase Automation to better Support Handling by using a
Statistical Model (Sensitivity analysis) to assess and calculate
the impact of different variables in the turnaround time:
➢ Typical Turn-around

- Aircraft Type
- Boarding Type
(Contact, Remote,

❑ TWO MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:
3. Increase Automation to better Support Handling by using a
Statistical Model (Sensitivity analysis) to assess and calculate
the impact of different variables in taxi and boarding times:
➢ Typical Boarding Times
based on:
✓ Type of Aircraft
✓ Handling Agent
✓ Stand Type (Contact;
Remote)
➢ Typical Taxi Times based on:
✓ Stand and RWY in Use

❑ THREE MAIN IMPROVEMENTS:
3. Increase Automation to better Support Handling by using:
➢ Automatic TOBT Updates in case of:
✓ Boarding Alarms
▪ Add 5 minutes to TOBT if Boarding is delayed
✓ TSAT (Target Start-up Time) Alarms
▪ Move Flight from sequence if aircraft is not ready at Start-up Time
▪ Re-calculate TOBT and TSAT to the best possible departure slot

SUMMARIZING
- No need to update the FPL to the TOBT +/- 10 minutes
window
- Automatic TOBT calculations since FPL filed.
- TOBT updated manually by the handling agent just in
out of regular operations and/or when aircraft
removed from the sequence.→ Low handling agent
workload
- Improved departure sequence and TWR workload.

RESULTS
| |27/06/201834
When a TOBT value was automatically updated, was easy to
understand why?
| |27/06/201835
The anticipated knowledge of TOBT helps my reallocation of
resources?
| |27/06/201836
Knowing the departure sequence (TSAT) helps me in task
coordination?
| |27/06/201837
A-CDM does not increase the workload singnificantly
| |27/06/201838
I consider taht this concept is a step foward compared to the manual
entry of all TOBTs
| |27/06/201839
DMAN does not increase ATC workload
| |27/06/201840
TSAT data assigned by DMAN do no penalize with delays operations
due to incompatibility, or others, that could be solved by the
controller
