<strong>Generic</strong> <strong>Operational</strong> <strong>Concept</strong> <strong>for</strong> Pre-departure Runway Sequence Planning and<br />
Accurate Take-Off Per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
Enabled by <strong>DMAN</strong> interaction with <strong>Airport</strong> CDM and A-SMGCS concepts<br />
In the next section the flight phases are listed in a step by step order to provide a high<br />
level overview of the milestone events in a normal flight turn-round scenario.<br />
2.4.6 Network Need <strong>for</strong> Take-Off predictions<br />
This perspective focuses on the need <strong>for</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation by CFMU on individual flight<br />
progress and pre-departure sequencing by <strong>DMAN</strong>, which results in a sequence planning<br />
<strong>for</strong> off-block (TSAT) and take-off (TTOT). Individual flight progress is monitored tactically<br />
to trigger Departure Planning In<strong>for</strong>mation (DPI) messages to CFMU in order to in<strong>for</strong>m<br />
the network on time predictions and their updates.<br />
These messages to the network are essential as they update network predictions by<br />
CFMU, and hence have a direct impact on the assigned slot (CTOT – Calculated Take-<br />
Off Time) <strong>for</strong> the flight, and an indirect impact on other scheduled departure flights in the<br />
network. There are three DPI messages reflecting progress:<br />
1. E-DPI is an Early DPI message, sent when the flight plan becomes active,<br />
normally three hours in advance of the flight.<br />
2. T-DPI is a Target DPI message, sent when the aircraft is at or approaching the<br />
airport of departure in the turn-round phase When a better estimation of the offblock<br />
time than the EOBT of the FPL is known (i.e. TOBT and TSAT).. Status of<br />
this message can be Confirmed (C) or Sequenced (S).<br />
3. A-DPI is an ATC DPI message, sent when the aircraft goes off blocks or start of<br />
taxi from nose-out parking position.<br />
Also, a Flight Update Message (FUM) exists, which is sent by the CFMU as soon as the<br />
flight is airborne if it is within 3hrs flying time of destination (and at certain events be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
ATOT). Figure 7 presents the sequencing phases and milestone events when these DPI<br />
messages are sent to the CFMU. The progress of one flight through all flight phases and<br />
the effect <strong>for</strong> the pre-departure off-block and runway sequence is explained in the<br />
sections below.<br />
