ATS CAPACITY
9. States should continue with, and accelerate as
necessary, the development and implementation of plans to
increase the capacity of their air traffic control systems by
improvements in the technical infrastructure, the airspace
organization, the training of personnel and the staffing of
ATS units so as to meet any reasonable demands of the
users.
10. The necessary capacity assessment should be
made by methods yielding realistic results which should be
expressed in terms which make capacity values comparable.
These should preferably be stated as the number of aircraft
which may enter a given volume of airspace within a given
period of time.
11. The established values for existing and future
ATC capacity should be compared with the actual and
forecast traffic demand in order to:
a) reveal areas where traffic handling difficulties exist, or
are likely to occur in the foreseeable future if improvements
to the air navigation system are not made in time;
and
b) make it possible to take appropriate corrective measures,
in cooperation with operators, as required.
