Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) Philosophy

Air traffic flow management (ATFM) is an enabler of air traffic
management (ATM) efficiency and effectiveness
• The safety
• Efficiency
• Cost‐effectiveness
• Sustainability of an ATM system

Two threads of events:
• Local ATFM implementations
• Standardized ATFM processes

Enable air navigation services providers (ANSPs) to effectively
provide the required service based on the current and projected
operational needs

ATFM Service
An ATFM service which is properly designed and implemented
delivers ATM performance benefits with:
• Organization
• Process
• Training
• Automation vs operational need

ATFM Service
One key to the successful
implementation of an
effective ATFM service is
achieving a robust
coordination among
aviation stakeholders

Cross border coordination

ATFM Service
Collaborative decision‐making (CDM) overall performance process:
• Aerodromes
• ANSPs
• Airspace users (AUs)
• other stakeholders

Coordination will take
place within a flight
information region
(FIR), between FIRs and NARAHG

ultimately, between
ICAO regions

ATFM Service
Initial implementations of ATFM were meant to manage air traffic
demand where and when it exceeded capacity of air traffic control
(ATC) services

ATC capacity is
optimized and utilized
to the maximum
extent possible, but
also allowing the
traffic demand to be
compatible with ATC

ATFM Service
Why is ATFM is needed?
• Whenever AUs are faced with constraints on their operations
• In areas where traffic flows are significant

3 Phases of ATFM
• Strategic phase
• Pre‐tactical phase
• Tactical phase

16
 INTRODUCTION OF ATFM Module 1

ATFM Service
Effective management
must transcend:
• National borders (Cross
border ATFM)
• Optimal results require
collaboration between
all stakeholders
• All States and ANSPs to
consider implementing Coordination from one ANSP to another
some form of ATFM
17

ATFM Service
ATFM and its
applications should
not be restricted to
one State or FIR
because of their
far‐reaching effects
on the flow of
traffic elsewhere

18

ATFM Service
The Procedures for Air
Navigation Services — Air Traffic
Management (PANS‐ATM, Doc
4444) recognizes this important
fact, stating that ATFM should
be implemented on the basis of
a regional air navigation
agreement or, when
appropriate, as a multilateral
agreement
19

The far‐reaching effects

of ATFM and the variety
of stakeholders it
impacts are so
significant, that a
regulatory support
framework is essential.

ATFM OBJECTIVES
• ATM safety system (traffic densities and minimizing traffic surges)
• Optimum flow of air traffic (balancing demand vs capacity)
• Collaboration among system stakeholders
• Balancing the legitimate and promoting equitable treatment
• Settling resource limits with economic and environmental priorities
• Management of constraints, inefficiencies by stakeholders
• Covering unforeseen events that affect system capacity
• Setting seamless and harmonized ATM system with compatibility with
international developments

21
 INTRODUCTION OF ATFM Module 1

ATFM PRINCIPLES
• Optimize airport and airspace capacity without compromising safety
• Maximize operational benefits and global efficiency (safety level)
• Promote timely and effective coordination with affected stakeholders
• Promote timely and effective collaboration with affected stakeholders
• Foster international collaboration leading to an optimal
• Raise international collaboration leading to seamless ATM setting

22
 INTRODUCTION OF ATFM Module 1

ATFM PRINCIPLES
• Ensure equity and transparency (security and defence needs)
• Support technologies and procedures (capacity and efficiency)
• Enhance predictability, for ANSPs as well as AUs
• Help to maximize aviation economic efficiencies and returns
• Support other economic sectors such as business, tourism and cargo
• Constantly evolve to support the ever‐changing aviation environment

Cambodia Air Traffic Service

• ATFM is an enabler of ATM efficiency and effectiveness

• Two threads of ATFM events are local and global process
• Successful implementation of ATFM is based on projected
operational need and current situation
• An ATFM service requires organization process, training and
automation
• CTOT Compliant needs to help participation from level 2 airport
