CM-0106 — Initial support to INAP - basic EAP (Extended ATC Planning) function

The basic Extended ATC Planning function supports the communication between the Local DCB position and the Controllers' Work Positions allowing the EAP and the ATC team in identifying, assessing and resolving local complexity situations through the provision of real-time and fine-tuning measures to solve ATFCM hotspots, and to perform early measures to alleviate complexity closest to ATC activities.
The main benefits consist of:
- reducing the instant load on one or more ATC volumes, and when necessary, reducing the overall complexity;
- assisting the Local Traffic Manager (LTM) for Short Term ATFCM Measures (STAM) implementation, decreasing the need for unnecessarily penalizing regulations.

Rationale
When traffic is both high and complex, classic ATFCM/ATC procedures are not efficient enough because solving ATFCM hotspots needs real-time and fine-tuning measures. The basic Extended ATC Planning function represents a building block to address the situation. This concept aims at supporting ATCOs to better manage traffic complexity and to streamline their workload. This new function aims at providing real-time and fine-tuning measures to solve ATFCM hotspots, and to perform early measures to alleviate complexity closest to ATC activities. In particular:
- to support the Local Traffic Manager by identifying ATFCM hotspots and propose options to clear them
- to identify candidate Short Term ATFCM Measures (STAM)
- to coordinate and monitor STAM implementation by ATC sectors
