AOP05 — Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM)

Implement Airport CDM (A-CDM) to enhance the operational efficiency of airports and improve their integration into the Air Traffic Management Network (ATMN) while maintaining or improving the safety levels. These objectives are achievable by increasing the information sharing between the local ANSP, airport operator, aircraft operators, ground handlers, the NM and other airport service providers; and improving the cooperation between these partners to enhance the predictability of events and optimise the utilisation of resources therefore increase the efficiency of the overall system.

The Airport CDM concept is built on the following elements:

- The foundations for Airport CDM are Information Sharing and the Milestone Approach. They consist in collaborative information sharing and monitoring of the progress of a flight from the initial planning to the take off. Those two elements allow the airport partners to achieve a common situational awareness and predict the forthcoming events for each flight.

- Variable Taxi Time Calculation, Collaborative Pre-Departure Sequencing (i.e. initial DMAN) and CDM in Adverse Conditions allow the airport partners to further improve the local management of airport operations, whatever the situation at the airport.

- Once A-CDM has been implemented locally, the link with the ATMN can be strengthened through the exchange of flight update messages between the CDM airport and the NM. This last building block of the A-CDM concept facilitates the flow and capacity management, helps reduce uncertainty and increases efficiency at the network level.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each military authority to review this Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SLoAs that the military authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SLoAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to military authorities.

Expected Performance Benefits

Safety: -
Capacity: Improved through optimal use of facilities and services, better use of airport and ATFM slots.
Operational efficiency: Improved system efficiency and predictability. Significant decrease in fuel burn through better timed operations.
Cost efficiency: Increased airport revenue through additional flights and passengers.
Environment: Reduced noise and emissions due to limiting engine ground running time due to better timed operations.
Security: -
