Table of Contents

Use of eFPL for Visualisation

General Description

Several items of the eFPL can be displayed to various actors in an ACC for enhancing their situational awareness and satisfying additional information needs.

  1. Use of the eFPL data as an analysis tool – for learning purposes and training
  2. Visualisation of eFPL data as a Fall back mechanism, should the system encounter failure
  3. Visualisation of eFPL data enabling to perform ATC even when radar contact has been lost (Lack of contact with AU, procedural separation mechanisms)

Relevant eFPL content

These items include:

  • Agreed 4D Trajectory
  • Unconstrained Trajectory
Note

To be clarified: is this the desired trajectory captured in the filed eFPL, or the performance profile, which a zero-wind, standard atmosphere profile reflective of the flight capabilities and desired parameters.

Use Case 1

Use Case 2
  • Trajectory Change Points (TCP)
  • FPL2012 Field 15

Actors

  • Flight Data Assistant
  • Flow Manager
  • Supervisor
  • Coordination Controller
  • Executive Controller

Limitations

  • No integration work of Data into real system
  • Would be part of the additional controller tools
    • Which tools?

Use of eFPL for Flow Management (Traffic Complexity Tools)

General Description


The information of the eFPL can be used in Flow- and Complexity Tools in order to improve the quality of the respective forecasts and the related planning for sector configurations and staff allocation.




Info
Quote from ICAO FF-ICE Guidance Material, Section “Implementation Strategy”
By taking the first step of accepting FF-ICE flight plans through the filing service, ASPs would gain access to more detailed trajectory information. This would be useful for strategic traffic flow management purposes, at the same time allowing ASPs to explore/develop other capabilities made possible by the additional trajectory information. ASPs will be able to gain experience in using the trajectory information and hence better build up their system capabilities for information processing, ……

Relevant eFPL content

  • Take-off Mass ( Would be used in EFD)
  • Performance data: performance profile, speed schedule ( Would be used in EFD)
