AUO-0219 — Use of Enriched DCB Information and Enhanced What-Ifs to Improve AU Flight Planning

Enriched DCB information will be available to improve AUs decision process when planning or re-planning trajectories. Enriched DCB information encompasses DCB constraints/measures information like ATFCM regulations/CTOT/STAM; and additional DCB information such as hotspots and congestion level indicators. Enriched DCB information is provided either for the trajectory planned by the AU as part of a submitted flight plan or for alternative trajectories considered in the context of advanced what-if. The information can be used in different use-cases: proactive management of fleet delays by AUs, CDM processes triggered by flow managers (e.g. STAM/Cherry picking measures).
Enriched DCB information and advanced what-if functions will be accessible via SWIM services to enable full integration of flight planning and ATFCM information in AU systems and further automation of AU decisions related to flow management constraints.
