Description
About the exercise
These exercises aimed to validate exchange of data between airspace management support systems and the Network Manager system. It also aimed at interfacing airspace management tools with ATC systems and presenting the real status of airspace on the Controller Working Position (CWP).
Results
- Enhanced shared situational awareness provided through real-time airspace status information.
- Increased airspace capacity for both En Route and TMA .
- Improved trajectories are better planned and flown thanks to the availability of more precise information. This reduces distances flown by aircraft, and consequently fuel burn and emissions.
