Day 1:
Morning Session
I. Overview
II. CDM Philosophy
This presentation will discuss the three guiding principles behind CDM: common situational awareness, distributed planning, and performance analysis. An emphasis will be placed on explaining why these principles are critical to the effective management of air traffic.
III. CDM Data Exchange
An overview of ETMS and CDM data exchange.
IV. Introduction to FSM
Hands on introduction to the FSM client software including: FSM modes of operation, interpreting the information displayed in the timeline and graph windows, flight details, and FSM utilities. The CDM data fields show in the flight details windows and will be discussed in detail.
Afternoon Session
V. Introduction to the CDM GDP Process
This section will talk about the ration by schedule (RBS/RBS++) procedure used to assign flights control time during a ground delay program. The compression process and related concepts such as "bridge-only carriers" will be explained in detail. CDM data fields important to the RBS and compression processes will also be discussed.
VI. SI Substitution and Simplified Subs
This section will discuss the rules for subbing. The system requirements for subbing will also be covered.
Day 2:
Morning Session
VII. GDP/FSM Modeling
This session will show the participants how the ATCSCC models a GDP in FSM. Then participants will be shown how they can use the same modeling tools to assess the impact of a proposed program. Last we'll show how FSM can be used for operations planning.
Afternoon Session
VIII. What your airline operations personnel need to know about CDM GDPs
IX. Summary of differences between CDM ground delay programs and ETMS/Grover-Jack ground delay programs
X.CDM Requirements
This section will discuss the steps necessary to become a CDM member and the system requirements (software and hardware) for CDM.
XI. Compliance and Data Quality
This section will examine the causes and effects of noncompliance with respect to control times and data quality. The tools and data sources which are available to monitor compliance will be discussed. This section will also examine the impact of data quality on the prediction of demand and traffic flow planning. The issue of "rolling spikes" will be discussed. |
