The A-SMGCS Routing service provides the generation of taxi routes, with the corresponding estimated taxi time for planning considerations. Taxi routes may be modified by the controller before being assigned to aircraft and vehicles. These routes shall be available in the flight data processing system. Taxi times are continuously updated as the aircraft is operating on the airport surface.

The A-SMGCS Routing shall calculate the most operationally relevant route which permits the aircraft to go from stand to runway, from runway to stand or any other surface movement.

The controller working position shall allow the controller to manage surface route modification and creation if deemed necessary.

The flight data processing system shall be able to receive planned and cleared routes assigned to aircraft and vehicles and manage the status of the route for all concerned aircraft and vehicles.

Traffic will be controlled through the use of appropriate procedures allowing the issuance of information and clearances to traffic.

The A-SMGCS Routing Service should provide to external systems the estimated taxi-out time (EXOT) for aircraft as long as they are before pushback, if benefit provided compared to already existing A-CDM. External systems such as A-CDM might benefit from more accurate taxi times in order to enhance the pre-departure sequencing by providing accurate target take-off times (TTOT).

NOTE: For this objective, there is no requirement for the use of datalink for providing clearances to the pilot or vehicle driver (e.g. D-Taxi).

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.
