DCB-0208 — DCB in a trajectory management context

Demand Capacity Balancing (DCB) activity occurs within the medium to short term planning phases, and describes the totality of actions required when managing periods of forecast excessive workload and constraints at arrival. Taking account of occupancy/complexity being the primary measure of workload, DCB has a more accurate understanding of the demand capacity imbalance and can offer solutions directly at the point of overload including the dissemination of target times to airspace users and air traffic service providers in order to increase their awareness.
