ER ATC 95 — ATC System Support to Permit a Single Planner Role Associated to Two Adjacent Tactical Roles

The en-route ATM system functions are enhanced to allow a single planner role to be associated to two adjacent sector tactical roles. The planner role shall be given the data access and eligibility to modify relevant traffic attributes so that the planner can pre-process potentially critical traffic situations with the goal to minimize / avoid such situations being handled during the tactical control phase. Traffic flow between the two tactical sector controllers is also smoothed and workload associated with tactical tasks is maintained at a manageable level for the two tactical controllers.
